Make Love, Not War. But if You Insist…

Batalla de flores

Why not have a battle of flowers like they do in Cordoba, Spain? They decorate floats with flowers and have a procession, throwing Weapons of Mass Delight - carnations - instead of bombs. Maybe Donald Trump could take note.

This festival is held in May, when Cordoba comes alive with many different events.

I have written a romcom set in England and Spain, in particular Cordoba. It gives an insight into the country and its culture that goes beyond the usual flamenco and bullfighting.

Loosely Translated is a story of hate at first sight. When Maria, a frustrated writer, tries her hand at translating books, she is so disgusted at Mike's second-rate detective novel that she decides to make some changes. BIG changes. The Spanish version becomes a bestseller, but the problems start when she meets her enemy, the author. And yet, maybe she shouldn't judge a book by its rather rough cover. How long is it going to be though, before he finds out what she has done?

If that appeals to you, support an Indie author by buying me a couple of beers - that's about how much the book costs on Amazon. Cheers!
