20 years

Twenty years. Twenty years, no less. It sounds like nothing, but today marks twenty years since the publication of my first novel, which means my literary career has reached that same milestone.

It seems like only yesterday that I first held a copy of «Bruno’s Notebook» in my hands. I remember it perfectly, and it was the beginning of countless experiences and first-time adventures. That novel opened doors for me and marked the start of a period I remember with great affection and nostalgia. A few years later came frustration, but that time was full of adventures, discoveries, and dreams coming true.

Now everything has changed so much. The literary world is no longer the same, so my career can’t be the same either. I’m still writing, and more books are coming, that’s for sure, although I’m very focused on music. I’m going to show the world a great album. The first single comes out on January 30th, and there are only a few days left.
Twenty years, Javier. Wow! I can only congratulate myself, because I’ve proven to myself perseverance, strength, and a tenacity I didn’t know I possessed. There have been tears, many tears, but also smiles. Many smiles.

Now, here’s to another twenty years.
