The second part of my novel "El Verano de Natalie Davis"

Something magical is happening with regards to my novel "El Verano de Natalie Davis" as I am writing the second part. 

THE SECOND PART OF MY NOVEL
I have started writing the second part of my novel. Remember the title of my novel is "El Verano de Natalie Davis" (The summer of Natalie Davis in English). I have written 20 new pages and I am happy with the result. So happy I am with the result that I have included these new 20 pages at the end of my last novel. Thereby, the end changes and now it is longer.

I changed the title from "El Verano de Natalie Davis" to "Natalie Davis" and I have sent it to different publishing Houses because it is now a different novel, a better one. I do not know if this is going to work out. In fact, one person advised me that If there is previously a similar novel, Publishing Houses perhaps do not like my idea.

Nonetheless, I am so happy writing that I do not know whether to write a second part o leave the book with a different end. Publishing Houses need time, yet I do not care about their opinion. Is it a mistake to publish the novel again with a different end? It is better to write a good second part? You should read these new pages, they are overlaid with emotion. In my opinion, my novel gains a lot now with these new pages and a different end.

To say the truth, I have stopped writing the exciting second part. This is because I want to know if Publishing Houses are interested in my idea. The novel has an open end and now it has a complete one with exciting new pages.

(In the end what I have done is to write a new novel, a second part that is titled "El cumpleaños de Natalie Davis" (the birthday of Natalie Davis) to respect the first part)

Making a movie inspired by my book: "El Verano de Natalie Davis"

All of us have dreams and my dream is to see a movie based on my last book. Indeed, I have already started to look for my dream. Keep reading!! (Making a movie inspired by my book El verano de Natalie Davis

You may know my last book, (the third one, the second in Spanish (my second was in English)) was published last year. 

MAKING A MOVIE INSPIRED BY MY BOOK
I would love to see a movie adaptation of my book. To say the truth, I wrote the book thinking about a movie adaptation. What is more, there are multiple references to movies I love and I have watched. The main protagonist watches a good movie every night with her grandmother (you should read my novel, perhaps you love it).

FAMOUS FILMMAKERS-TWITTER
If only I could get some important readings!!! As a result, I thought to send my novel to famous filmmakers. We have some important in Spain (Pedro Almodóvar without going any further, has won two Academy Awards). Some are very international likewise.

I looked for 2 famous filmmakers on Twitter and I offered them my novel. One of them was J. A. Bayona and the second one is Álex de la Iglesia. None of them has answered my tweets but I felt great contacting them.

MOVIE PRODUCERS-LINKEDIN
Another thing I have done is to look for movie producers on Linkedin. There are a lot, but not all of them are rich and powerful or are interested in reading my novel. I got one person interested and I am going to send him my novel. This is positive and it is what I need. I need professional people who have influence and power and are interesting in the novel.

IN THE END
At least I obtained something positive. There is one professional filmmaker who made a movie set in my village and based on a novel. I contacted him and he wants to read the novel.

It would be magical if someone relevant reads and loves my novel, making a movie thereby. I know, I should have a literary agent to do this kind of tasks but I have not I am afraid.

I was filled with emotion contacting professional producers and famous filmmakers. However, I do not know if one day somebody will make a movie inspired by my book!!!
