Sánchez published her first book in September and revealed to PEOPLE ahead of its release that she lives with dyslexia. “Never in a million years did I think a dyslexic kid from Albuquerque would ever be an author," she said.

"I'm so humbled by it, and I'm so thrilled my kids get to see me do this because they encouraged me to write this for years and I finally made it happen," the mom of three said. "The journey wasn't easy, but I'm really excited for people to meet Flynn the fly."

Just a week after her book hit shelves, it reached the New York Times Bestseller list.
