Goodreads' Author Group discussion

Hello everyone, my name is Simón Camacho and I am a psychologist, I recently finish a book that I am very proud of, because it combines the two subjects that I love the most, psychology and fantasy.
In this book I decided to take some problems that I have found working with children, and describe them in the form of monster, to make them more interesting and easier to understand.
The protagonist is the same author that i have taken as a pseudonym, Dr. Alaz F. Raliget, who is a kind of therapist who, in nine short and easy-to-read stories, describe the characteristics of a particular monster, how to identify it and how to face it; In addition, little by little, more details of the world, his life and the monsters that he himself has had to face are revealed.
The book in the moment is only in spanish, buy i am in the process of translating it to english myself, and i am looking for native english speakers that would like to help me proofreading it.
Thank to everyone for the attention.

Welcome, Simon, thank you for joining the group!

Congratulations on publishing your first book, it sounds like a great way to help children get through trauma. I am looking forward to reading it!

:)

I absolutely loved this book and have read it 3 times already and am planning to read it again today! The concept is fantastic and well developed.

There is nothing I can really add to what the blurb says ... it is a collection of 9 short stories that helps children deal with or get rid of 'monsters' that have attached themselves, or that linger around the child, or in the case of one story, flutters around 2 girls' strained friendship.

Most of the children are 9 & 10 years old. Mr. Diaz has this as a children's story, but it is an important read for, well anyone really, and should be in various places that help people young and old overcome abuse, spoiled children, children who have switched schools and are having a difficult time adjusting, etc ... it is a fantasy and I put monsters in quotes, because they appear in various forms, such as, 'Tighteners,' 'Dragons,' & 'Bees' to name a few.

I am looking forward to reading more work by Mr. Diaz, as I am most impressed with, not only his background as a psychologist and helping children, but his creative imagination and way of creating great stories that one can relate to, and therefore benefit from.

¡Amé totalmente este libro, ya lo he leído 3 veces y planeo leerlo de nuevo hoy! El concepto es fantástico y bien desarrollado.
No hay nada que realmente pueda agregar a lo que dice la propaganda ... es una colección de 9 historias cortas que ayudan a los niños a lidiar o deshacerse de los "monstruos" que se han adherido a ellos, o que permanecen a su alrededor, o en el caso de una de las historias, vuela alrededor de la amistad tensa de 2 niñas.

La mayoría de los niños tienen 9 y 10 años. El Sr. Díaz propone el libro como un cuento para niños, pero es una lectura importante para, bueno, todos, y debería estar en varios lugares que ayuden a las personas jóvenes y mayores a superar el abuso, niños mimados, niños que han cambiado de escuela y están teniendo dificultades ajustándose, etc ... es una fantasía y coloco monstruos entre comillas, porque aparecen en varias formas, como 'ahogadores', 'dragones' y 'distanciadores' para nombrar algunos.

Estoy ansiosa por leer más trabajos del Sr. Díaz, ya que estoy muy impresionada, no solo por su experiencia como psicólogo y por ayudar a los niños, sino también por su imaginación creativa y la forma de crear grandes historias con las que uno puede relacionarse y, por lo tanto, beneficiarse.
