Graffiti
A few days ago I blogged a picture on www.wordpress of some graffiti photographed in Mexico City when I was there a couple of weeks ago. So, while I’m thinking about graffiti I thought I would blog another one of the most interesting property that I found, in Granada Spain, a few years ago. How does that relate to what I’m doing today?
Well actually, I have written two novels in the Chavos series to date.
Chavos – The kids of Distrito Federal, selling now. Chavos – The Quest is at the printers and awaiting launch later this year. And although Chavos 3 is roughly outlined, my next book is Pablo’s Diary. A street kid who just so happens to be a graffiti artist.
The house that I discovered in Granada gave me the inspiration for what has now become the Molina House, Pablo being one of the Molina Brothers. I am very excited about this book. Although a spin-off from the main Chavos novels, it is actually quite different. Nearly finished, I’m just adding some interesting tweaks, and then I need all the graffiti and illustrations to finalise. I would really like someone about Pablo’s age, a school kid or street kid – early teens to work with me on this project.
You know, I never imagined a few years ago that I would start writing children’s literature and be having so much fun. There are quite simply not enough hours in the day as I am so full of books; I need to empty my head.
That just makes me think of something that was emailed to me last night and it brought tears to my eyes, so I’m passing it on.
Here goes; – next blog….
