Editorial The Sentinella Nov 09

This month’s front cover says it all! Yes, my first published book, Sol Searching, is finally available to buy, read and enjoy!

My publishers have compared it to Bridget Jones’ Diary and my first radio interview can be accessed via my blog, www.Sol-Searching.com. You’ll also find articles and interviews on an array of websites, including www.absoluteaxarquia.com, www.seabreezespain.com and  www.inmalagatoday.com I’d like to thank these website owners for their kindness and support. 

Sol Searching is now available to purchase online at www.Amazon.com or www.Amazon.co.uk priced 9.99GBP / 12 Euros. Alternatively buy a copy from The Sentinella stall at the Tuesday Farmer’s Market, El Trapiche, or from Arkwright’s main store, in Puente don Manuel. Or if you want a more personal touch email info@thesentinella.com and I’ll sign one for you, ready for collection at the Farmers Market in Trapiche. Sol Searching would make a great Christmas gift, or why not just self indulge and receive a healthy bout of the feel-good factor just because you deserve it?!  

Local author Joanna Styles, who has written several books on relocation and Spain, said the following about Sol Searching: “Escaping the hamster wheel of daily life in your home country is the stuff of dreams for millions. Keidi Keating is one of those who turned the dream into reality. Choosing to cut all ties with her life in London, Keidi moved lock, stock and barrel to southern Spain. Five years later and she’s still there .As Keidi quickly discovers, life in Spain isn’t all a bed of rosas. Even on the sun-drenched Costa del Sol, it can pour with rain, jobs are few and far between and well-paid ones almost non-existent. The expat community is a weird mix and making lasting friendships can be as frustrating as finding a good job. But if you stick it out and Keidi does, Spain is a land of opportunities. After five years on her Spanish roller coaster, Keidi has found plenty.

Moving abroad is probably one of the most challenging things life can throw at you, but with perseverance, the right attitude and a bit of luck, it’s also one of life’s most rewarding as Keidi finds out. This refreshing and light-hearted look at relocation is a welcome addition to the many books on Spain. Enjoy!”

There’s more about Sol Searching later on in this issue I’d love to know what you think of it, especially as I’m toying over the idea of a part two!

Anyway the clock has just struck twelve and I’m still in front of the keyboard. My bed is calling…
