I remember staring at my laptop’s screen trying to write my next sentence or piece together my next chapter and getting frustrated or even discouraged at time. I’ve learned to simply walk away and let the writing “just come back” to me on its own. It’s an amazing feeling to realize how something so simple around you can trigger the writing process. A commercial, a song on the radio, a news story, a person’s question, or even just a picture in a store can have the power to trigger your mind and have a story flow out of you with such ease. (less)

Sergio Tinoco Hi there. Giving away 10 Kindle Version books of Proud American.

If you prefer a PDF copy, please let me know as well.

Seeking reviews for my first book.

Being the only child of a single mother, Sergio was raised by his maternal grandparents in a South Texas region better known as the Rio Grande Valley. This memoir details the upbringing of a poor Migrant worker of Mexican descent having to pick crops for a living since the age of seven. As a way to break from the family cycle of picking crops and depending on government welfare programs, he joined the United States Army and served ten years active duty. He deployed to Bosnia-Herzegovina shortly after the Bosnian War only to find and deal with the aftermath of the genocide that took place there and be caught in the middle of several attacks. His experiences in Bosnia ultimately led to experiencing signs and symptoms related to PTSD. After completing ten years of military service, Sergio joined the U.S. Border Patrol. Being of Mexican descent, having family in south Texas, and in Mexico gave way to new issues of having to counter threats against his family and ill-willed opinions of him for arresting and deporting “his own kind.”


If interested, please email me at proudamericanjourney@gmail.com and I'll send you a copy. Please include your name in email so that I can send you the link to your copy.

Seeking reviews for Amazon, Goodreads, & Barnes and Noble.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
