From "Black Suede Jacket" to "Chaqueta Gamuza Negra."
After days of daydreaming about what could happen if I translated my short stories to Spanish, I finally started working on that idea. I thought that I could easily reach a wider audience if my story was also available in Spanish. First I copied the file and slowly started to translate names of chapters on my PC.
When I first translated Black Suede Jacket it became CHAQUETA NEGRA. That was my only mistake due to my ADD. I only relied on GOOGLE TRANSLATOR and not a Spanish dictionary. However, I did spend time looking over the entire document to make sure everything was correctly spelled and accentuated.
Months ago, I was telling a coworker about my stories. Unfortunately, the Spanish version wasn't available. The following week I decided to look up the Spanish translation of the title again, this time using BING: Chaqueta Gamuza Negra. Another thing my coworker has left me thinking about was the book cover. I'd heard from the Self Publishing Podcast about 99designs, a website that could help with book covers. Below is what ended being the new eBook cover.
I haven't written anything lately, nor started to translate "Two Drinks At A Night's Waltz." Maybe I'll do it in January 2015.
Chaqueta Gamuza Negra is available on Amazon, Kobo, BN-NOOK & iTunes for $0.99!
