Maceo Montoya is an artist, writer, and educator, and his newest novella is "You Must Fight Them," which centers on a half-white, half-Mexican man who returns to his northern California hometown to reconnect with the Chicana girl he worshipped in high school. He must first, however, fight her tough brothers before he can date her.
Maceo talks about the similarities between his main character and himself, and how his community works its way into his writing and his paintings. The cover of the book was drawn by Maceo, and images of his amazing artwork can be found at http://maceomontoya.com/
