Don Cosquillas
I have talked elsewhere about how it began as a single short story that spawned a few sequels. It was only after I had written five linked stories that I realised I was actually writing a novel and that the stories were chapters in a longer work.
The Pilgrim's Regress is a sort of 'Don Quixotic' picaresque adventure, although it's not strictly speaking a set of unrelated episodes as there is an overall arc. The novel is one of my favourites among all my books but I know it is far too metafictional to be commercially successful. No matter! I had huge enjoyment writing it.
There is something about the Spanish landscape that lends itself very well to picaresque wanderings; but in fact the hero of this novel travels to Africa and India as well as across Persia.
The book is available on all Amazon outlets including Amazon UK.
I´ve just got Cloud Farming in Wales. I couldn´t think of a better book to read at this moment when we are slap-bang in the middle of the umpteenth storm in a month.
I was wondering, why aren´t your books translated into Spanish? Have you ever been interested in herding your w(h)ales across the Celtic Sea to this already-known-by-you country where they could enjoy the perks of leaving their Het Gymreig on making Joe Cocker himself proud?

That seems to be an intrepid writing. And such a generous comment from the genius JLB too. Flattering! I´ll be checking it next.
If you ever happen to adventure in our market again, I would be up for giving your characters their very own Spanish voice :)
Ta-ta tan toc!
If so, I can't promise you work, but I do know of some projects that are being planned, so if you want to email me please do so at: rhysaurus@gmail.com
