“Secrets & Lies in El Salvador” will soon be out in Spanish – PLZ tell your Spanish speaking friends! Thanks!
Yes, I finally found a Salvadoran translator & editor with the help of BabelsBook. The critically acclaimed novel “Secrets & Lies in El Salvador” should be very popular in Spanish as many Spanish speakers read the English version even though they seldom read in English. [image error]
Learn the story behind “Publish Crimes and Impunity in New Orleans.” and help us get this edited & published by the end of the year. @indiegogo

The Latino contribution on the other side of the wall
Living in Southern California, we are much further along in several ways. First of all, most of the Mexicans (and yes, here, 99% of them are Mexican) try to speak to us in English. I speak Spanish so I usually end up having to clarify by speaking their language which they truly appreciate. Even if the workers do know English & went to school in the US, they are often Latino (again, mostly Mexican).
We also have many educated Latinos here & recently voted 99% in favor of bilingual education. Life is better here because of the cultural mix & people’s willingness to try to understand each other even when it does take some effort on both sides.
Our land here in southwest United States used to be Mexico so it is heartening that most people recognize that & do their best to appreciate their culture as well as their work ethic!
Peace, love & understanding,
Sherrie

Please share my Indiegogo Campaign to help me Finish & Publish “Crimes & Impunity in New Orleans”
I’m finally back to working on the prequel to my debut novel. “Crimes & Impunity in New Orleans” takes place during the Reagan era (including 1984!). Shelly goes to NOLA to prepare for her trip to El Salvador, but she has no idea that a place in the U.S. can be so completely different from her world in Upstate New York. She encounters sexism, police brutality, and sees the effects of racism first hand. Her Salvadoran friend is visited by the FBI & the Cubans in New Orleans threaten the lives of protesters & even call the homes of organizers. Shelly’s time in New Orleans makes her want to go back to her safe, little life in Hilton, NY.
If you can buy the book ahead of time, it will help me pay for editing, formatting & uploading. As you can see above, the cover is already made.
