About this title

Synopsis

Perhaps if Joe and Vicky had known what relocating to a tiny village, tucked in the Alpujarra mountains, would really be like, they might have hesitated...

They have no idea of the culture shock in store. No idea they will become reluctant chicken farmers and own the most dangerous cockerel in Spain. No idea they will be befriended by an 85 year old spliff-smoking sex-kitten, help capture a vulture or be rescued by a mule. Life is never dull as they embark on their Five Year Plan.

At the end of five years they must decide. Will they stay, or return to the relative sanity of England?

Vicky and Joe's story is packed with irreverent humour, animals, eccentric characters and sunshine.

'Chickens, Mules and Two Old Fools' was awarded the HarperCollins Authonomy 'Gold Star'.

From the Author

Moving to Spain was undeniably a culture shock, but such an adventure... Who would have thought Joe and I would keep chickens and sell eggs to the village ladies? Every new day produced events either hilarious or heart-warming. Food suddenly tasted better, human behaviour was more fascinating, animals funnier, local events more interesting. It was like seeing in colour for the first time, and the book began bubbling in my head.

As I wrote, the book made me both laugh and cry. I love Spain, I love the Spanish people and I love Spanish food. I hope all this shines through in my writing, and if I have one wish, it's that the reader enjoys reading 'Chickens' as much as I enjoyed writing it.
