📚 Announcing! New Spanish Edition of HappilySleepless

📅 May 7, 2018

_____

It is finally time to announce my brand new book: Felizementesindormir, the painstakingly translated-into-Spanish edition of HappilySleepless. A few short weeks ago, on Wednesday, April 25th, a book launch was held at the ODU Bookstore for the new edition. After a short speech by Dr. Martinez (pictured at right) and a few readings by me, Joseph Ozias (pictured at left), the store went on to sell out of copies at the signing event. Special thanks again to Dr. Martinez for all of his help in the translating process.

Below, you can find links to both the English and Spanish edition of the collection at various online storefronts. They will be updated as they become available elsewhere.

Felizementesindormir

270 pages, $22

[Paperback (Amazon)]

Description: "HappilySleepless was published a few short years ago. The past year and a half was dedicated to translating it into Spanish with my professor and friend, Dr. Manuel Martinez. With his guidance we finished the project and are finally able to announce the all-new book: Felizementesindormir, the translated Spanish edition of HappilySleepless." (Some work from the English edition was omitted in the translation process.)

Mientras me siento en mi columpio

Mi mente se olvida de todo los lios

Y aunque sólo sea por un tiempo en la brisa

Mis labios se hacen una sonrisa.

HappilySleepless

246 pages, $20

[Paperback (Amazon)]

[Paperback (Barnes and Noble)]

Genre: Fiction; Collection; Short story; Plays; Novella

Description: "HappilySleepless is about a lot of things. It's about everything. From abuse, to death, from happiness to life. HappilySleepless is a journey. There are short stories, books, and plays; read them, and remember, for the rest of your days."

Review: "HappilySleepless by Joseph Ozias is beautiful. The main attractions here are "Weak" and "The Weeping Wall." "Weak" is a story about a kid named Aries whose father abuses him. But that's just the tip of the iceberg; Ozias has carefully constructed his characters here, putting you into Aries' shoes as he faces his many fears. Then there's "The Weeping Wall", a not-too-short story about a lonely wall. I enjoyed (mostly) every minute of it and believe you will as well."

~M. R. Thompson

Review: What a great collection of stories, poems, and plays. Each story engages you as a reader as you journey through far away lands, futuristic societies, and the perils of high school. You meet characters like the weeping wall and the mysterious magician that stay with you long after you put the book down. . . . At [246] pages, this book will keep you entertained for a while. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a little variety in their reading.
