Hi Dave: And congrats on your AWESOME number of reads (and fans) on Wattpad. Because you mentioned your success, I put up a short story here... a dark dystopian... The Terminal. Thanks for all the inspiration, on your blog and elsewhere. It's because of you that I hit the best-seller Kindle lists with my political thriller, "RUNNING"!

Hey @AntoniaAlvaradoPuchu - I'm really sorry for the delay in responding. I was moving house, had no internet (nightmare!). I don't have Chilean relatives, but I have been to South America a few times now. I taught English in Northern Peru (near the border with Ecuador), and I lived for a spell in both Brazil and Argentina. I visited Chile, but only for ten days or so (Valparaiso is beautiful and I had lots of fun in Santiago), but I would love to come back and explore some more.

I don't know if you have Chilean relatives or anything, but I was surprised when I found a novel, in English and talking about my country! I love historical fiction AND Chilean history so it's on my read later list :) Never though someone outside of the country would find Chile interesting!

Hey. I have zero graphics skills, so anyone should be able to do it. I just made a small jpeg in MS Paint placing the four book covers laid out in a rectangle, then saved and uploaded.
