Sales info:

The first in this series, "Mantequero" has sold very well indeed. The dual language version - English and Spanish sells well and has been adopted by at least two schools,  B & B Idiomas in Granada, Spain and a school in California. I now wish to have this book and the third book in the series, "Sins of the Father also translated into Spanish


Sample text:

The mid-morning bell rang and suddenly the corridor was filled with the sound of banging doors and running feet. One small figure was running so fast he ran straight into Alison with such force it took her breath away and very nearly knocked her over. Taking the child by the shoulders and holding him at arm’s-length, she said, “Tyson Higgins, how often do I have to tell you – Walk, don't run.”

“Yes, Miss. Sorry, Miss.”

The child gave a terrified glance over his shoulder and Alison followed the direction of his gaze just in time to catch Benson and Phelps, the school bullies, skidding to a halt half-way down the corridor.

“Were they chasing you?” Alison searched Tyson's face anxiously, but he just pressed his lips together and shook his head. “If they're bullying you, you should tell a teacher and we can do something about it.”

“Yes, Miss – I mean no, Miss.”

She looked up as Benson and Phelps drew level, Phelps shooting a truly venomous look at Higgins as he passed.

“All right then.” She let the child go and rubbed her stomach, which was still aching from the impact. “But don't forget.”

“No, Miss. Thanks, Miss.”

Tyson shot off in the opposite direction to that taken by the two bullies and Alison watched him go with troubled eyes.
