Looking for blog hosts for nonfiction Mexican history book

Hi everyone...I'm wondering if anyone would be interested in hosting one of my authors who wrote a nonfiction Mexican history book? He tours in April and what I am looking for specifically are bloggers who are familiar with the Mexican heritage or, rather, who blog about their Mexican heritage on a frequent basis. If you are one of those bloggers, a copy of his book will be sent to you in exchange for an interview, guest post or review. You can contact me at thewriterslife@yahoo.com. Thanks!
