Mexico š²š½
Ximena writes…
hellooo. Good morning, afternoon or evening wherever you are. Let me introduce myself, I am Ximena Ortiz from Mexico š²š½ and I am very excited to be able to write to you since she is my favorite author and her works on āChronicles of Prehistoryā have really enchanted me and allowed me to learn about the ancient world. I can highlight that his works not only transmit knowledge, but also lead you to imagine and explore further in the imagination.
As a good lover of a book, nothing compares to a paper one that I can take with me everywhere. However, I would like to share with you that books are difficult to obtain in Mexico and that is why I am turning to you, to ask you in the best possible way not to stop with distribution and, I don’t know to what extent, reach an agreement with the publishers. I have tried to have most of them, but I realized that some only have them in eBook. And I completely understand this, but I have to tell you that since I got the first book in 2015 from a high school library I couldn’t get the others. Which is sad because there are thousands of people who miss out on these incredibly detailed stories.
Finally, thank you, thank you, thank you for always writing. For going beyond imagination and being in the places Torak, Renn and Lobo were years ago. Your stories are a great contribution to your readers and, especially, mine. It has brought back the spark by reading about adventure stories and being able to share them with some students. Have a pleasant morning, afternoon or evening. šŗ
Hola, Ximena!
Thank you so much for your message.Ā I’m delighted that you’ve enjoyed my stories so much – and I was very interested to hear why you do; I think you explain it very well, especially considering that you are writing in English!Ā I am really sorry that you find it so hard to get hold of the books in Mexixo, that must be so frustrating for you.Ā But I am afraid that I have no control over this, as it is entirely the decision of the publishers as to where to sell the books.Ā I really wish I could help you more, and I do hope that you are able to find some way of getting hold of the rest of the series. Thank you again so much for gettting in touch.
With very best wishes,
Michelle
