Last night, HYBRID had over 400 downloads in the space of an hour! This made it rocket to no. 88 in the ENTIRE free charts for Amazon! WOW... But, it gets better... this morning it was at no.70!
I suspect it came about due to the wonderful article written by Elena Scialtiel in the GIBRALTAR MAGAZINE.
When I launched The Evolution Trilogy on the 16th December, 2013, in Gibraltar, Elena asked to interview me.
I met up with her the next day, and we sat on a park bench as she conducted the interview and recorded it. It was an enjoyable experience - I do love to ramble. The article she put together truly encapsulates what I am all about. She got me completely.
All credit goes to her for writing it so beautifully.
It means a lot to me to be featured in this way. In England, I have managed to get some publicity for my book, but it is truly limited, since as an "indie" author I have no idea where to go, or who would be interested.
And now, I am featured in the Gibraltar Magazine!
And they have done this all for me for FREE... in the interests of promoting a Gibraltarian!
Sometimes, there is a hole in my heart that can not be filled in England. It is in times like this that I understand why. To grow up in a community like Gibraltar was not always easy, but one thing I know for sure... it is a community that gives, and gives, and gives.
Sports - the entire range...
Drama - fantastic productions...
Food - Spanish, Moroccan, English, Italian cuisine... and those CAKES!
And last, but certainly not least, EDUCATION - a brilliant school system that encourages youth to go to university - FULLY FUNDED!
Without the support and encouragement I got in Gibraltar, I would never have got my education and certainly never gone to university - it would have been too expensive! I did grow up in a 2 bed flat after all!
So, THANK YOU... sincerely,
I am truly grateful to the support you have all shown, and only hope I do not disappoint you with my books.
Have a fantastic day... un abrazo grande ha todos!
La llanita 'Beany',

p.s. To top it all... this blog has now reached 10,000 views! Amazing :)
Congratulations, Vanessa! You deserve it all. I have just finished Hybrid and enjoyed it a lot. Well done for a book that captures the imagination and creates a fascinating scenario!
