The more I write, the more I understand how necessary those grains of sand are for the more selfless people. Publishing a novel is not easy, and for that I can assure you that The Butterfly Effect would not be the shadow of what it is if it had not been...
...for my colleagues, always ready to help, always the first to reserve a copy to read or give away.
...for Janie E Cruz, my brilliant translator.
...for Luisfer, who had the courage to write his personal feat and share it with me. His life experience served as inspiration for more than one scene in the novel.
...for my family. Cousins and uncles who do not lose the occasion to be interested in the state of the novel or to place themselves in front of the radio or television every time I’m being interviewed.
...for Luis Alberto María, a friend and excellent photographer, who kindly offered to make a session with the objective of finding the best author’s image. Thanks for the great coffee.
...for all the friends who, even in the distance, recommend my novels. I feel its warmth in every paragraph. Special thanks to Álex, David, Edu and Pablo. Without them I would be lost.
...for the anonymous readers, bloggers and followers in social networks, responsible for keeping my novels in the top positions of Amazon's best sellers. Thanks in particular to Gatsby, owner of the website Gatsby's, because of his articles I got the inspiration for the colloquium between Salas and Morgan.
...for José, my consultant and distributor. Thank you for making my books available in hundreds of bookstores throughout Spain.
...for my brother and my parents. Those responsible for my ability to tell fictional stories. My most ruthless critics and deserving of every accomplished reader or published novel.
...and for Silvia, who has the cross of living with a writer (I assure you that it is not easy). She gives me advice, inspiration and brilliant ideas. She pushes me on the slopes and slows me down when everything seems to go dangerously well. My real partner.
