Translating Dad's Books

I've been working on another of my Dad's books.

In case you don't know, my dad is a struggling author. He works as a truck-driver to pay the bills, but his dream is to be a full-time author. In faith, he has already written over 40 books; he just needs to get them presentable for the readers.

He writes in Spanish, so by default, I'm the one who translates them to English. I've translated about 5 of his books so far (yeap, I have a LONG way to go), but only 1 is really up for sale in English. There is the original Spanish version of said book (images below) and another book that's only in Spanish--for now. There are 2 other books in English, but the publishing companies that printed them turned out to be scams, so those books don't really count, sales-wise).

The one we've got up so far is called "Achor" in English and "Acor" in Spanish. We published them ourselves and you can find them on all the Amazons (Australia, France, UK, Mexico, India, Netherlands, Spain, Germany, Canada, Italy, Japan, Brazil, China, and the US).

Feel free to take a look at this book. You will get a closer glimpse into my family (yes, blackmail on my family and I are made public and open for the world to read!).

It's about one man's journey and discovery through an archaeological dig site, but it was so unusual--yet very real.

For more info about the books, click on your country of choice. The link will lead you straight to these books (and others, which you should ignore please) in the country's respective Amazon page.

I'm currently working on another--actually, updating one I translated before. It's part of a series (I think dad changed the number of books in said series) all about one boy with supernatural abilities and how he becomes the most important, powerful ruler in the world. To some, he is like a savior, messiah, what have you; but to others . . . well, if you said "the Son of the Devil", you're actually right. What's scarier, you haven't exaggerated at all . . .

Seriously, there are parts in that book that scare me--and this is the first book, that is; the nice, tame, "not scary" one!

So here it is; my first self-published book as a translator--and for my father. What a father-daughter moment, right?

For those of you who know me, I want to go overseas again. I have no idea when or where I could go. Who knows? Maybe I won't go as an English teacher, but as my dad's assistant on his international book tours . . .
