Two book releases are planned for later in 2010: Crossing into Mexico and Brave Blood, both by Richard Finks.
Crossing into Mexico (with additional material by Richard Grabman and others) is the result of Fink's long experience as head of the graduate translation program at the Autonomous University of Guadalajara, and assisting students in adjusting psychologically and emotionally to Mexico.
Unlike other "How to move to Mexico" books, Finks does not presume in Crossing into Mexico that he is writing for the experienced, well-heeled retiree, but rather with the person who is making a LIFE in what is to them a foreign culture... one perhaps studied and known academically, but not one infused into them since birth.
Richard Grabman, who previously recruited foreign teachers for private schools in Mexico City, has added additional material on the practical aspects of living in Mexico, including the less talked about (but very real) issues of sexuality and physical health.
This short book (estimated at 150 pages) is an easy-to-read but scholarly introduction to México, Mexican culture and surviving within that culture for those seeking "the real México" -- exchange students, foreign workers and others not looking to maintain, or not expecting to maintain, a north of the border mindset and live lives alien to their Mexican neighbors.
Brave Blood -- approximately 60 pages -- is a result of Finks' personal interest in bull fighting as a spectacle, a sport and an art. Brave Blood is a dictionary/guidebook to the bull ring, the terms and the meaning of the terms of art.
Editorial Mazatlán may also publish a guidebook to the basics of Mexican law in 2010, but details were not available by November 2009.
If you have a manuscript for our consideration, please carefully read the "Manuscript Submissions" page first.
