Eagle Gamma on Luz Del Mes May Spotlight Interview by Maritza Martinez Mejia
Q 1.What makes you proud to be a writer in The
United States?
A 1.
The ability to meet and write with so
many other writers with such a wealth of talent. In traveling this land I have
learned an immense amount from interacting with the deep and broad network of
American writers.
Q 2.
What or who inspired you to write “El burrito que queria volar”?
A 2.
My coauthor Avril Olachea. She proposed that we create a story together, and
she suggested the initial idea of a burrito who wants to fly. And she inspired
me more generally!
Q 3.
Do you come up with your title before or after you write the
manuscript?
A 3.
It depends on the work. For the burrito, I came up with a working title before
writing the draft, although Avril insistently refused to accept my apparently
made-up word as part of the Spanish language. After we went back and forth many
times, we came up with a new title. Likewise, for other books the title often
grows out of different attitudes.
Q 4.
Why do you prefer to write Children Books in Spanish ?
A 4
First and foremost, I feel that Spanish more naturally communicates children's
tales. The language is beautiful, poetic, and lends itself to magical realism
of the sort that children enjoy. Beyond that, I enjoy the chance to learn more
Spanish that way, and to practice for when I spend time in Spanish-speaking
places.
Q 5.
What is your promotion strategy to promote your children book?
A 5.
We're doing a variety of activities, including big giveaways and dealing with a
number of online and brick-and-mortar vendors. However, perhaps the biggest
component is word-of-mouth.
Q 6.
Tell us about your passion to move through the world by bicycle?
A 6.
I love to ride a bicycle anyways, and by moving through the world this way I
also get the pleasure and education of experiencing many different cultures and
geographies. Riding a bicycle is fun, good exercise, good for the environment,
a good way to meet people, efficient, convenient, affordable, and has a host of
other advantages. And I love to make my way through the world through all
different terrains!
