thanks again to everyone who supported the book. I know it won't be to everyone's taste so am grateful for the positive feedback I've had so far. Equally, feel free to trash it on Amazon/social media if you thought it was shit/boring. Prefer that to silence!
i've done a slot on local radio to play/talk about some music which is connected to the book. That was a lot of fun - will post the link as and when that's ready. I've also been angling to go on local tv to discuss it but not yet sure if that will happen..

I haven't got into it yet! Currently stuck at the beginning of another book and I'm a very slow reader. Need to try and make reading more of a priority when the weather is good..

it’s all cool. i briefly described a few ‘fictional’ characters i met in ibz but there’s nothing personal. any resemblance to anyone on this forum is strictly coincidental

Matthew Collin is a good writer. Really enjoyed Altered State when it came out
This is a decent article about his new book and where things are at

Anyone read this? Sounds interesting, originally released in Dutch...
IBIZA, THE EIGHTIES. At the dawn of the techno and ecstasy era a lonely teenager sees her world going into a tailspin. Marianne, born on the island to a hippie mother and a drug dealing father, is trying to keep the pieces of her life together while one of her parents is in prison in Liverpool and the other is chasing her spiritual endeavours.
When an officer from the notorious Guardia Civil offers her a ride and shelter, Marianne becomes deeply fascinated by him. Embarking on a vodka and drug fueled journey, she tries to build a bridge between two worlds that weren't meant to meet. With her father's villa on the verge of confiscation and her mother's rickety sense of reason plummeting to unmanageable depths, Marianne's fascination for the Guardia grows into a dangerous obsession. She might well be driving not only herself but everyone close to her to the brink of destruction.
IBIZA'S CHILD is a novel about obsession - blinding, all-consuming obsession - and about a desperate search for parental love, a home, a fatherland. It is also a book about Ibiza: Ibiza as only those who were born on the island or have lived there for many years can know it. A genuine, bizarre, enigmatic, magnificent, deadly, never-to-be-encapsulated Ibiza.
ESTHER J. ENDING (1972) grew up on the island of Ibiza. She moved to the Netherlands permanently in 1994 and debuted in 2004 with the novel After Valentine, for which she received the prestigious Debut Prize. Her second novel Silent People came out in 2012.
