Interview With Author Raquel Hidalgo Garcia
Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am a native of Spain, but have lived abroad for many years. This is my first book, and it has inspired a trilogy!
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest, and only book so far is, Death: a Heck of a Subject from a Human Perspective. It was inspired by my father’s passing and the realization that grief would be less heavy if we did not make death such a taboo subject, especially so for children. I wanted a way to approach the subject in a lighthearted way to start normalizing something that has to come to all of us. The book features the opinions of seventy six very different people on what happens once we leave this earth.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
yes, I like to stop unsuspecting people on the street and ask them strange questions ;).
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Many, but specially those with a positive message to live our life to the fullest.
What are you working on now?
The second book in my trilogy, Life: A Human Perspective, in which a keep the interview format with an array of questions that help us get to know our fellow humans (some of them also featured in the first book).
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I wish I knew…
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Create. Being able to make some money from what you have created is the cherry on top.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
What are you reading now?
I’m in a book club and we rotate who gets to choose what we read. Someone chose “atomic Habits.”
What’s next for you as a writer?
Continue interviewing people, continue writing the second book of the trilogy, and hopefully continue showcasing the beautiful side of this crazy life.
If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
I know this is not what you mean, but I would have to take foraging and survival books =D.
