TELLING A LITTLE MORE ABOUT HECTOR SANGUINO, AUTHOR THE EFFECTS OF BETRAYAL
Best regards to all my possible readers. Allow me
to introduce myself. I am an author who is taking his first steps as writer
and, I am very pleased to make myself known to all of you through the style of
my narrative and my stories.
I was born in a small town in northern of Colombia.
The curiosity of writing has carried along with me since I was in elementary
school. There, on several pages of notebooks I wrote in pencil my first
sentences and verses. As well as the poems that I wrote to my girlfriend and the
summaries that, the grammar teacher would leave us, as homework. The
ease as I would do these tasks showed me what I wanted to be in the future.
Unfortunately, finishing my high school, very difficult times came, and they
left my aspiration in ellipsis. My first job would be a bricklayer’s
assistant. In Colombia I worked as welder operator, baker, politician and
trader.
Years later, taking advantage of a job opportunity,
I emigrated with my family to Canada, in where I settled down. Here I have
written several novels, five of them still unpublished and five published.
Hobbies: My
hobbies always have been related to writing. I love to write, read, compose,
and make erotic poetry. Also, I love music and traveling. Another of my hobbies
continues to be lifting weights, but just to get in shape. The Karate, although
practiced it in the past, since many years ago, I did not practice it anymore.
The most outstanding trait
of your personality: I think that the most outstanding trait of my personality is
leadership skill. I think that a leader is not the person who is followed by
many, but the person who with humility, always places himself at the forefront
of any situation.
Tell us why you decided to be a writer: I think that being a writer is a passion that you don’t decide because writing stories is born with you in your blood. The facts that motivated me to write are not very clear to me. However, one of them maybe have been my love disappointments.
Ernest Hemingway (1899 – 1961). American writer and
journalist, one of the leading novelists and short story writers of the 20th
century
Your
favorite authors and why: The
truth I don’t have favorite authors. In my youth, years in where I studied, I
was a member of a readership, reason why I was able to read many famous
writers. Among them Gabriel García Márquez, Ernest Hemingway and Agatha
Crystie. Years later as adult I have read several new authors and, think that
all the authors that I have read are great: However, Henri Charriere’s work,
Papillon, and the classic Odyssey of Homer I think that influenced a little my
writing style. The drama so advanced for its time, written by Homer in his
story and, the characters from his mythological fiction, transported me to a
world in another dimension when I read it.
Your favorite
work by another author: My
favorite work by another author is Papillon. Henri Charriére, its author,
fascinated me by the way in which he related the odyssey lived by his main
character.
Your
favorite work that you have written: As
its creator, I should see all of them with the same favoritism. However, my
favorite work in English is The effects of betrayal, and in Spanish, La misión
de los elegidos. In
both novels I mixed action, adventure, intrigue, dark crimes, suspense, and
powerful characters.
Your
literary style: My literary style, fits in the
thrillers. I like this genre because it allows me to mix in my
works, intrigue, dark crimes, suspense, characters with economic power and
influences. Likewise, thanks to this mix of genres, the readers find everything
that they need to get caught up in my drama.
A quote
from an author you like:
We know what we are, but we still don’t
know what we can become (Willian Shakespeare).
Something
about your way to understanding this world: To understand this world you need to compare it
with an abstract painting: We must use our imagination to find beauty in it and
give it a meaning that many may not understand. If all of us could understand
the world in this way, it would be enough for us, because if we put wings to
the imagination all we could fly.
