My new book is coming

Ten Masks of Evil

I began to write Ten Masks of Evil years ago… I cannot remember when. In one first view, I was trying to revert the rules of genres writing ten tales about the writing, menacing and  playing with the reader a different game into a different book.

The book begins with a deal between two men and continues repeating the pact between the tale and the reader tale after tale, configuring not only a simple tale but a new kind of structure with tales that tells about tales, characters from another stories who tries to find their sense not only in a simple story but in the novel.

Ten Masks of Evil will available in the next months.

Working the new language, discovering new frontiers

George Bush

It's always difficult to change your native language. I've been writing in Spanish my whole life, a life plenty of words, tobacco and whiskey of course… now I'm trying to do it in a different language I feel something between nostalgia and fear (it's funny nostalgia it's the same word both in Spanish and English). Spanish Book Market is off; I had to change my sight. Of course, I prefer Spanish; it will be always my language but… I am beginning to find something different and good in the new frontiers I am seeing now.

In Europe, we look at the United States and its people like something strange for us, like people that haven't got anything to do with us. Yes, of course, they have their own manners and habits and a different culture… but in these recent times I have discovered that they are more similar to us than we could think first. We've seen them on movies thousands of times and we've seen them here like tourists with their peaked caps and their white faces… nothing similar to us. Or not? I've been speaking with many American people during last year and I could feel their proximity and how they want to know us too. They are not closed for us; they want to know about Europe and Spain… some of my new friends really admire our literature and our arts.

Well, my friends, I will continue investigating and writing. I don't have anything more to do. I need to publish my new book far away from Spain. I will never forget it, but I think it will be a better way to improve my, in old times, falling career.

Like someone said before me… That's all, folks!

My New Novel

Mickey and Donald

I have some news for you (echooooo!): I am going to write a new novel and I will give you for the incredible price of 0$. I'm feeling well because the prize is the same in euros, dollars, rubles or maravedis. I'm feeling as I have spitted over the face of a trade-broker and I would say: dedicated to you, stupid bastard!

While I am waiting for my last two novels were published, I will begin this one. Theme? You will see. Characters? I just promise one thing: I won't deal about any philosophical problem of any housewife washing her soup dishes. Maybe I will write about a tavern and drunkards or maybe not (yes, you're right, I will)… In any case, I think you and me will have fun with the new work I am going to do. I hope you like it.

I will begin tomorrow. Please, be back to read the first chapter.

The future drunk author desires you all the best (yes, it means I am not drunk right now but I am planning to do it soon, very very soon).
