The feast day of Sant Jordi last night camenzaba to 23 in the Llotja del Mar, where the magazine does Read organized the ceremony for the 11th edition of the awards. The late Stieg Larsson, for "Men Who Hate Women" and also absent, Carlos Ruiz Zafon, for "The Angel's Game," were honored in the award. Zafón sent us his thanks from the 10000 miles that separated him from us, in a video (albeit high quality), and Josep Chain, CEO Read what we read a shocking letter from the widow of Larsson.

course the media also failed. The glamorous Boris, the extravagant Risto Mejide, Follonero and Nuria Roca, among others, were there. I also had the opportunity to meet successful Eduard Pascual, who with his first novel is poised to become the next Reverte. No I have to explain how the party ended, as the champagne flowed at close range.
The next day I began the evening of Sant Jordi in my neighborhood, the great Jorge Larena Castejón in Orfila Pza. His novel "Shadows Fall", which was among the ten finalists for the 2002 Metro, is still playing hard. There she met another writer friend the neighborhood: Luís See García. "Locals", whom I have plugged into Facebook. Having cried a little, shoulder to shoulder, I went to the Rambla Catalunya to sign at the booth of Bertrand Library. In the library could not be not a soul and a generous Rambla Catalunya test endured human cargo.
's booth Beltrand met Marius Serra (to my left in photo), signing his hit "Quiet", and to my right I met Maria Carme Roca, who signed copies of his latest book "Barcino". As you can see was very well guarded. Do not miss the appointment of my mafia: friends, unconditional, passionate the thriller, and fans and followers of Boney M. As you can see people before the pair had to be finished.
The night ended with a stroll through the Plaza Catalunya and a burger with Gruyère in Heidelberg, where waiters in the bar were working up to the hilt and spent three quarters of an hour I was there growling pissed off against each other, without complexes and to the bewilderment of the customers who were about two feet from them. Thanks, folks.

I was visiting the Historical Archives of the Hospital de la Santa Creu i de Sant Pau to document. I attended his lovely Pilar Salmerón archivist. I clarified many doubts and breaks dates I had in the chronologies of the Asylum of Santa Creu, location goes my next novel. It is worth visiting and listening to Pilar history stems from his lips as naturally as does the water in the birth of a river, as if born to it.
Our meeting not only dealt with information I had gone to seek, but our talk also gave to get a word of blunders in the documentation work of our writers Best Sellers. I also taught the courses, the top floor of the archive, a place where Pilar has left the soul and where lies the bulk of the treasures of the Santa Creu. A wonderful spot to get lost and someone, tort, has described as "loft."
Maybe because they intend to take the historical archives of St Paul?
