El Tiburon Research

 

Heidi: Pastor Marvin Garcia, thank you for joining us today. Since writing El Tiburon (published by Vinspire), I’ve given many book talks and am astounded with the interest in the plight of the Guarejos—the people-group living in the Guatemalan garbage dump. At the time of writing El Tiburon, there were 11,000 people living there… 6,000 of which were children. Since that time the Guatemalan government changed the boundaries of the dump to place the Guarejos on the outside of the dump. Now they go through an opening in the fence. In response to their questions, I would like to return to you, my main source of information. In El Tiburon, the Guarejos play an important role in keeping the main character alive.

I will preface this with an introduction to our readers as to how I know you. About ten-fifteen years ago our church asked if anyone could house a visiting youth pastor from Guatemala for 6 months. We offered our spare room and now we consider you to be a member of our family, along with your sister, Karina (who came and stayed with us later).

Pastor Marvin, you were born and raised in Guatemala. When did you become a pastor?

Marvin and Karina

Marvin: Indeed, I was born in Guatemala City and all my life I have remained in the city. (I must confess I know very little about the rural area of Guatemala) Now I have tried to visit more of the rural area that definitely has beautiful places and views.

I was born in 1978 and when I was 9 years old I accepted Jesus into my heart in an American church (the pastor was an American named Charlotte Lindreng at Shekinah Church), I currently take the time to visit this church, every time I am there I feel I'm coming home. We were in this church for 6 years. Then we moved to another church closer to our home. When I was 20 years old, I was appointed youth pastor at the Iglesia Principe de Paz Central. We stayed there for 6 more years.

Then my dad received a call from God to open a church in the area we live in. And until today, Mission Maranatha has been an important part of our life. When I was 35 years old, I was appointed pastor at the Central American Theological Seminary in Guatemala. And I have spent 5 years pastoring a Ministry that together with my wife we form, called Ekklesia Guatemala.

Heidi: When did you first hear of the Guajeros at the Guatemala City garbage dump?

Marvin: When we are at Shekinah Church, they had an evangelistic program. Every December 23, they would give food baskets to each family that lived in the Garbage. Also, every day that Children's Day is celebrated, they had programs with piñatas, food, clothes and shoes for the children who lived there. I was probably 10 years old.

Heidi: What was your reaction when you learned about their needs? Were you shocked or did you not fully understand at that time what their lives were like?

Marvin: For a 10 year old boy, it was very difficult to understand the needs they had. I had a good childhood (to call it that) we had our needs at home, but when I asked mom about food, food would magically appear on the table. (That's how I saw it. Today I know we have to work so that there is food at home).

And when it was my first time visiting these places, it was creating in me a perspective that my needs, although for me they were enormous... they had many more enormous needs. And after my first visit, throughout the next year, I remember saving 5 cents every day, in those days with 5 cents you could buy a soda and a cookie. But I kept every day, (although there were days when I was hungry and spent those 5 cents for myself) but I remember that at the end of that year, I gave my shepherds an envelope with a 20-quetzales bill. ($ 3 USD) and so a need grew in me to see the gospel of Jesus reach those places.

Heidi: I know you’ve been involved in the ministry who helps the Guajeros… when did that start?

Marvin: When I was a youth pastor in the second church, one of the first projects was to create a program for the Guajeros. It was a difficult process because the churches were not knowledgeable in these areas of work. Since I was 10 years old, I had been gathering experiences that had marked my personal life and my ministerial life. And my wish was to transmit those emotions to others. Thank God the program that I founded, to this day continues to work for the Guajeros. Also to this day, I have been able to found 15 projects with different churches for the benefit of the Gaujeros. God has been good in every project and they are all working to this day.

Karina

Karina: This is true, the ideas of my brother and a group of people provided projects that made it possible for the Guareros to have a job and they received God in their hearts.

Heidi: Have you ever been to see the community they live in? Is that community called La Limonada? Were you ever there when it was actually inside the dump?

Marvin: When I was working on projects for the Guajeros. within their community. I heard about another community called La Limonada. This community is in another area of Guatemala City, with a population of almost 3,000 families living in extreme poverty [60,00 people in a massive ravine]. At that time, I left people in charge of the main project we had and I began to visit this new community. At that time I had the possibility of arranging mission trips for American churches. And in both communities we were very blessed, new projects were created that continue to function to this day.

Karina: I was part of these projects together with my brother. It was my beginning to support him in the ministry. He met many missionary groups and it was the way to learn to speak English by translating, also I still have friends who continue to volunteer for the ministry of La Limonada.

Heidi: What is the community like? Give me good and bad examples of life for them.

Marvin: The city of the garbage is a community where garbage from all over Guatemala City arrives in trucks at all times. The smell is hard to get used to. Their life is literally about garbage, they eat, they sleep on other people's garbage. Although there are simple house projects for them, the common denominator is trash. An area of 5 hectares is used for garbage and for the families of the Guajeros.

Now, the La Limonada community is a garbage-free area, but it is a ravine, with a river of dirty waters at the bottom, and all around the ravine, small houses were built of cardboard, wood, and sheet metal. And it is an area where the gangs choose to live.

I believe that only a person with the passion of Jesus in his heart can see the bad in the community and turn it into an opportunity to bless. Good and bad experiences I have lived in each of the communities. But the passion for them makes you come back the next day, knowing that another experience will come. I remember that one day I was walking with boxes of medicine for the Guajeros, in an alley, a young man stole my cell phone and money that he had for my whole week. And when the Guajeros found out what happened, they got together and looked for this person who did not belong to the community, they found him and killed him. Then the community put together some money and a cell phone used for me. Crazy right?

Karina: It is a community that continues to need help, but the type of people that live around it is becoming very dangerous.

Heidi: Do you know anyone personally who lived/lives there?

Marvin: Yes, I have very good friends who live in both communities, people I trust who always have the opportunity to sit down and have a coffee and dream of new projects for the benefit of both communities

Karina: My brother still has communication and friendship with the Guajeros, they keep calling him and asking for prayer for their lives when they need it.

Heidi: Do you have a special story about your work there that you’d like to share?

Marvin: I remember that with a missionary group we went to the La Limonada community and built a small house for an 80-year-old woman. At that time I had two jobs, I was as national director of the Festival with Luis Palau, a very important evangelistic event in Guatemala. One day before handing over that little house, I had a meeting with very important people in the local government. We went to a very expensive restaurant in the city of Guatemala. I remember ordering shrimp, (my favorite food) it was an incredible meal moment.

The next day we went to deliver the little house to Grandma. It had rained very hard the night before. We were wet, dirty, but with a smile on our faces from the old woman's expression. The impressive thing was that she in gratitude, took some corn tortillas, (I think they were there for more than 2 weeks) and took a pan, a small piece of butter and put the tortillas on the pan and moistened the tortillas with the butter, and he gave us 2 tortillas each, ... and said (thank you very much) for me they were the best tortillas that I had never eaten in my life. I enjoyed them so much that I am satisfied. The day before I was in a nice restaurant, the day after I was sitting on the wet floor of this old woman, and I remembered what the Apostle Paul said... In abundance and scarcity, I thank God.

Karina: Yes, I remember that moment. I was working on Luis Palau's project as a secretary and my brother was on both projects. I was not present at the old lady's house but I did know about that moment.

Heidi: Did my writing a crime novel set in Guatemala and the dump have any impact on you?

Marvin and his wife, Evelyn

Marvin: I think there is no better place to set a crime novel than Guatemala. But I also believe that if through this novel we can present a little of the needs that exist in our country and create awareness in people…I think it will be worth it.

Karina: It is worth continuing with that passion, my country continues to present these problems and no one does anything for them.

Guest Post: K. Bartow

Jim Foster (narrator for Audible) asked, "What drew you to writing? What did you hope to accomplish?"

K. Bartow helped me out by answering this question. Thanks Karina for taking the time to give such a thoughtful and inspiring answer.

Like most children, I skipped around from one idea to another with regard to what I wanted to be when I grew up. I went through the usual choices—ballerina, teacher, and carpenter, my dad’s occupation. As I matured, though, I realized my having Cerebral Palsy would impede my success in all of those fields and many others.

When I was nine, my mom took me to meet a children’s book author at our local library. I listened to her speak and could sense her passion for it, sparking something in me. In the days that followed, I pondered it further and discovered I could do that. I was already a gifted student, especially in English class, and even with only one usable hand, I knew I’d make it happen. 

Once again, however, age made me reconsider my aspirations. As I neared adulthood, I resisted doing something “just because” it was almost the only job I could physically do. I didn’t commit to it upon graduating high school, wanting to investigate other options. In the end, my creativity plagued me and pushed me to put the pen to paper—or nowadays, the keyboard to the word processor.

I didn’t have true objectives starting out, other than having a career and being allowed to use my active imagination every day. Sure, I wanted to create works that publishers and readers alike would enjoy, but that concept eluded me for quite a while. Overall, I guess my main goal was to get to know myself and any talent I may have.

Once I began, I saw everything the craft could give me. I could create a whole world and take charge of every twist and turn and outcome, without there being rights or wrongs. I could use the experiences that had hurt me and state the way they affected me or how I wished I could’ve handled them. Regardless of whether anybody would ever read my words or not, it was a therapeutic release and gave me a freedom I had never known before.

Thus, what started as a sort of “career of convenience” has become a lifestyle I truly cherish.

Pamela Ackerson Interview

H. Schussman interviews Pamela Ackerson:

Heidi~

First, Pamela, I have to say I am excited about this interview. You are a tremendous help to the writing community. So, tell us a little about yourself.

Pamela~

I'm a wife, mother, bestselling author, and time traveler. Living on the Space Coast of Florida, I follow the areas mantra "Reach for the Stars." I'm also the V.P. Marketing and Advertising director at Affaire de Coeur Magazine.

Heidi~

What genre do you write?

Pamela~

I'm a multi-genre author. I love history, so almost all of my books have historically accurate information. I write sci-fi, time travel, historical fiction, non-fiction, and children's stories.

Heidi~

When did you start writing?

Pamela~

I started writing at a very young age. I entered a short story contest at the age of sixteen. It took first place in my age category and was published in a sci-fi magazine. I took a short break from writing and about twenty years ago I decided I wanted to write books.

Heidi~

What are you working on now?

Pamela~

I'm writing a time travel stand alone which has a small, wet your appetite taste of romance to it. It's a bit of a cozy mystery with the two main characters searching for a serial murderer.

Heidi~

Who is your favorite character in your stories?

Pamela~

My favorite character is from the Wilderness series and is actually a real person, Sitting Bull. The other would be Jennifer Standing Deer from book 5 of the Wilderness series. I still shake my head at her and face-palm. She's a trip. LOL

Heidi~

Do you see yourself in any of your characters?

Pamela~

I think there's a little bit of me in all my characters.

Heidi~

Where do you write? Describe your workspace?

Pamela~

I write best on my screen porch. We're surrounded by trees and have a 3 acre property full of animals. I do have an office that I write in, especially when I need to get lost in the story and seriously concentrate without interruptions.

Heidi~

Who are your all-time favorite authors?

Pamela~

Oh boy, so many... Ms. Rowling. Isaac Asimov, M. Night Shyamalan, Jude Devereaux, Catherine Kean, Kat Martin, Jodi Thomas ( I really could keep going)

Heidi~

Did you find writing a query letter a challenge? If so, how did you overcome it? Do you think there was a key phrase or idea in your query letter?

Pamela~

Oh dear. The dreaded query letter. It's my kryptonite.  Fortunately, I had someone take my query letters that I had been sending to publishers, destroy them, rewrote them for me and tada, I was with a publisher. Now, years later, honestly, I'm still horrible at it.

Heidi~

What advice do you have for a writer aspiring to be published?

Pamela~

Don't give up. Start working on promoting yourself as soon as you decide you want to publish. If you can, attend workshops and small conferences. Get it professionally edited before you send it out. The publisher will still edit it, but as an aspiring author, you need to stand out and look as professional as possible.

Heidi~

Would you like to acknowledge someone for their help/assistance/faith in you/etc?

Pamela~

My husband. He's cheered me on and encouraged me from the very beginning.

Heidi~

How can your readers learn more about you and your books?

Pamela~

There are several places where you can find me. I love hearing from my readers.

Carmela Martino Interview

Carmela Martino

 

Heidi~

First, Carmela, tell us a little about yourself.

Carmela~

I’m a novelist, freelance writer, and writing teacher. I have an MFA in Writing for Children and Young Adults, and I’ve taught writing classes at the local community college since 1998. I also teach summer writing camps for ages 9-12, which is great fun. I was born and raised in Chicago and now live in the suburbs. Like the main character in my first novel, Rosa, Sola, I’m the daughter of Italian immigrants.

Heidi~

What genre do you write?

Carmela~

My new novel, Playing by Heart, is a young-adult historical romance that is also inspirational. My middle-grade novel is also historical as far as kids are concerned (it’s set in 1960s Chicago), but I’ve also had contemporary stories and poems for teens and tweens published in anthologies. And I freelance by writing nonfiction articles for adults. For example, I’ll have two in the 2018 edition of the Children's Writer's and Illustrator's Market.

Heidi~

When did you start writing?

Carmela~

In sixth or seventh grade. I started out writing poetry and keeping a journal. (Oh, how I wish I'd saved those journals!) I was published for the first time around age sixteen, when my seven-line poem, “My Sanctuary,” appeared in an anthology of creative writing by Chicago public school students. The thrill of seeing my writing—and my name!—in print inspired me to dream of being a professional writer.

Heidi~

You have a new release. Tell us about it.

Carmela~

Playing by Heart is a historical romance inspired by two amazing sisters who lived in 18^th-century Milan and who were far ahead of their time—one was a mathematician, the other a composer. Unfortunately, they had a domineering father who put his ambitions ahead of their happiness. The conflict in the novel centers on how the sisters strive to follow the paths they believe God wants them to take while their father tries to use their incredible gifts to advance himself to nobility. The story is from the younger sister’s (the composer’s) point of view. Here’s a summary:

“Emilia Salvini dreams of marrying a man who loves music as she does. But in 18th-century Milan, being the ‘second sister’ means she'll likely be sent to a convent instead. Emilia's only hope is to prove her musical talents crucial to her father's quest for nobility. First, though, she must win over her music tutor, who disdains her simply for being a girl. Too late, Emilia realizes that her success could threaten not only her dreams for her future but her sister's very life.”

I LOVE the tagline the publisher came up with for the cover: “She could compose anything . . . except the life she wanted.”  In fact, I love the whole cover. I’d seen pictures of it early on but when I held the book for the first time, it was even more beautiful than I expected.

The publisher also came up with a great ad that includes excerpts from the Booklist review of the book. You can see it at: https://youtu.be/IVUxM3CwgJs

Heidi~

What are you working on now?

Carmela~

I’d really like to write a companion/sequel to Playing by Heart. Right now, though, I’m working on a short story set in the same time and place as Playing by Heart that I plan to submit to an anthology.

Heidi~

Who is your favorite character in your stories?

Carmela~

Wow! That’s like asking who’s your favorite child. I have to say I love them all, each in their own way. 😊

Heidi~

Do you see yourself in any of your characters?

Carmela~

My first novel, Rosa, Sola, was loosely based on an event from my own childhood, so the main character, Rosa, and I have a lot in common. But when I was working on that story, I made sure there were significant differences between us. I wanted the book to be Rosa’s story, not my story.

Heidi~

Where do you write? Describe your workspace?

Carmela~

I converted a bedroom into an office. I have a desk for my computer, lots of bookshelves, and an old kitchen table that I use for my work surface. The table comes in handy when I’m pouring over books for research. Note: the photo I’ve provided was taken several years ago. I’ve updated my monitor and computer from the big old clunky ones you see.

Heidi~

Who are your all-time favorite authors?

Carmela~

I have too many to list! But one of my all-time favorite books is Pride and Prejudice, so Jane Austen is definitely on the list. When it comes to middle-grade and young-adult fiction, Katherine Paterson is another favorite. She’s probably best known for Bridge to Terabithia, which is an excellent book, but my favorite of hers is The Great Gilly Hopkins. It was recently made into a lovely movie starring Julia Stiles, Glenn Close, Kathy Bates, and Octavia Spencer.

Heidi~

What advice do you have for a writer aspiring to be published?

Carmela~

I tell beginning writers to Read! Read! Read! I think we learn best by studying what others have done. When I was in grad school struggling with how to weave backstory into my novel, my teacher gave me some great advice. She suggested I take a paperback copy of a novel I admired and use a highlighting pen to highlight the backstory. That was a real eye-opener! The book I chose was Katherine Paterson’s The Great Gilly Hopkins. I was amazed to discover she wove backstory throughout the novel, even in one of the last chapters! Before that, I thought you had to provide all the backstory right at the beginning.

Another bit of advice: write what you like to read. Don’t try to write a dystopian novel just because you think that genre sells easily. When you enjoy what you’re writing, it shows. And the reader will enjoy it, too.

Heidi~

Would you like to acknowledge someone for their help/assistance/faith in you/etc?

Carmela~

My husband has been very supportive. He’s an engineer and doesn’t read fiction himself, so he doesn’t really understand my love of writing. Yet, he’s never pushed me to go out and get a “real job,” as some of my friends’ husbands have done. He also happily plays chauffeur and assistant, driving me to speaking engagements when they’re far from home and helping with book sales.

Heidi~

How can your readers learn more about you and your books?

Carmela~ 

First off, I want to thank you for hosting this interview, Heidi, and for kicking off the Playing by Heart Blog Tour, which runs Oct. 6-Oct. 16. The tour includes the opportunity to win a copy of the novel, too! So, I invite your readers to visit this page of my website for the links to all the tour stops and to enter the giveaway:

Trailer for El Tiburon by H. Schussman

New Book Cover for El Tiburon

I am happy in a bittersweet way for my new book cover, El Tiburon. It was a difficult decision and honestly not easy for Vinspire Publishing to do.

Let me take you back to the day I received my book cover. I was thrilled to be published and felt a constant flutter of excitement and awe that I'd been published by a real publisher. They accepted my book on the basis of it being an ethnic romance... she's black, he's white. They are madly in love. They have the hots for each other.

The cover did a good job of portraying that passion, but that was only a small glimpse into their lives. Their passion was much deeper than a kiss. It was an "I will do anything to save her life" kind of love. It's a married love.

Vinspire has a history of working with Christian authors. I'm a Christian author. A good fit. I felt Vinspire was visionary for seeing El Tiburon as a romance.

That being said, I began to perceive the cover was not a good representation of the content. Readers who wanted a sultry romance were disappointed. My audience (men and women who like a good suspense conspiracy story) was not interested in buying the book based on the cover. I even had several reviewers comment on the cover.

One of the things I found surprising about El Tiburon was the story was different to me than what the book cover gave me the impression of. I ended up with a well paced thriller, squarely focused on the mission and not a man-saves-woman-and-then-sex or that chauvinistic vein of thriller.~Ronovan

First thing, DON'T LET THE COVER FOOL YOU. This is not a macho man saves beautiful woman thing. That's a husband and wife on the cover. This book DESERVES a worthy cover that tells the story better.


You'd think it would be an easy process, but it's not. Dawn Carrington sent me several options of different models and backdrops, but none were an improvement. The male always looked either to polished or to rough... poor Dawn. She persevered, and finally we decided on no models.

So, I say goodbye to my first book cover designed by
a publisher (I designed Counterpart's cover), and say hello to the new one.

H. Schussman interviews Jean Marie Bauhaus

Paranormal Fantasy Author and
Freelance Writer/Editor for Hire

Heidi:

First, Jean, tell us a little about yourself.

Jean:

I’m a writer and blogger from Tulsa, Oklahoma. When I’m not writing novels or blogging about my faith, I work as a freelance web content writer and occasionally I provide editing and book formatting services for indie authors. I’m a big ol’ geek who’s really into crafting, reading, really good TV and Netflix dramas, simple living, home decorating and my husband. I’m also quite fond of our little menagerie of four-legged dependents.

Heidi:

What genre do you write?

Jean:

The series I’m currently working on is clean paranormal romance, but I’ve also written urban and dystopian fantasy and occasionally dabble in horror and steampunk. (I had to google this term… steampunk is literature set in the era of steam powered engines, usually with a twist of sci-fi)

Heidi:

When did you start writing?

Jean:

I wrote my first short story in first grade. I think the protagonist was a talking football who didn’t like getting kicked around. I was a weird kid.

Heidi:

What are you working on now?

Jean:

I just finished Kindred Spirits, the sequel to my debut novel, Restless Spirits. Right now I’m taking a very short break before I get started on the next book in that series.

Heidi:

Who is your favorite character in your stories?

Jean:

That’s tough. It’s kind of like being asked to name your favorite child. I have a lot of fun writing Ron Wilson, the main protagonist in Restless Spirits, but really all of those characters are a joy to write. Outside of that series, I’d say my favorite is Alek Constantine from Dominion of the Damned.

Heidi:

Do you see yourself in any of your characters?

Jean:

Not really, although the Wilson sisters both share my sense of humor.

Heidi:

Where do you write? Describe your workspace?

Jean:

I don’t have a dedicated work space. I’ve tried that, but it turns out I hate sitting at a desk. I either use my laptop or a portable word processor called an AlphaSmart to write, so I tend to move around whenever I need a change of scenery to inspire me. Usually I’m either on the living room sofa or camped out in bed, but if the weather’s nice I’ll take it outside.

Heidi:

Do you have any new books out?

Jean:

As a matter of fact, my publisher just released Love Letter, a stand-alone novella set in the Restless Spirits universe. It's available wherever e-books are sold.

Heidi:

Who is/are your all-time favorite author/s?

Jean:

I’m terrible at picking favorites. This could be a long list. Stephen King, Neil Gaiman, Jane Austen, Charlotte Bronte, George R. R. Martin, Joss Whedon (he writes comics sometimes, so I guess he counts as an author), Lani Diane Rich, Jim Butcher, Cherie Priest, C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkein . . . I think all of these authors have really helped to influence and shape my writing over the years.

Heidi:

Did you find writing a query letter a challenge? If so, how did you overcome it? Do you think there was a key phrase or idea in your query letter?

Jean:

I’ve actually never written a query for fiction. I’m intimidated so much by the process that this is one of the reasons I decided to self-publish. I’m just really fortunate that it worked out the way it did.

Heidi:

What advice do you have for a writer aspiring to be published?

Jean:

If you’re looking to be traditionally published, my best advice is probably don’t do it the way I did it, which was to self-publish and then have my book get discovered years later by a traditional publisher who offered me a multi-book contract. That just doesn’t typically happen. If traditional publishing is your goal, I’d stick to querying agents and submitting your work to publishers.

But if you want to self-publish, my advice is this: do the work and invest the time and money to produce a book that’s as professional-quality as possible. Don’t rush to get a sub-standard book out there. It’s so, SO hard to get noticed, but it will be easier if you do good work -- not just good writing, but good writing that’s well-edited, professionally formatted and has a really great cover. When you self-publish you’re not just a writer--you’re also your own publishing company. So treat your book the way you’d want a traditional publishing company to treat it.

Heidi:

Would you like to acknowledge someone for their faith in you?

Jean:

I’d really like to thank Dawn Carrington at Vinspire Publishing for reading Restless Spirits and deciding it was something she wanted to take a chance on. There wouldn’t be a series if not for her decision to e-mail me and ask if I was interested in continuing the story.

Jean’s social media links are all listed here, including her Christian lifestyle blog, Daydream Believer, which is at http://jmbauhaus.wordpress.com.
