  1. Hi John! I´m Ana Campoy. Alfred & Agatha´s author. Thanks for mentioning my book on your blog! I enjoyed make little Alfred Hitchcock and Agatha Christie met with Houdini. It was amazing! For the time our adventures have been published in Spanish, Italian and Turkish, although we hope that in the future may be available in English too. Thanks again for your words and greetings from Spain!

    1. Hi Ana. Thank you for commenting. So that Alfred Hitchcock and Agatha Christie? I didn't get that from the translation. That's awesome! :)

      Yes, here's hoping it gets an English translation. Good luck and stay in touch.
