Author Rocio Vargas joins host Billy "BJ' Jones for another segment of BJ Speaks. Vargas discusses her latest work, Echos of My Clan, and chats about her writing journey. 

The novel Echos of my Clan unfolds the Spanish situation of the first half of the 20th century, and from its romantic essence it tells a very hard life. In addition to entertaining, creates a tapestry of the political situation in Spain at that time, particularly adverse for the gypsies, about which there is still a surprising ignorance and discrimination. Unraveling the enigmatic life of gypsies is one of the main merits of this work.
