EbroRose is the Voice of the Ebro.

I am Rosie Reay, the author of  the new childrens E-book series called “The Chimona Chronicles”. I am a well-travelled author, as you may have already guessed. I have lived in Africa, England and Spain, apart form my travels in North America. My first book was inspired by a road trip a few years ago from California, USA to British columbia, Canada and it has infact triggered the whole Chimona Chronicle series. The bonus poem The Squirrel from Wirral I have weaved into this story was written sat at the window of our apartment one evening in Benifallet (our first home in Catalonia) . The sounds and images are true to that evening in this riverside village, along the River Ebro Banks. Why? All because one little Expat boy, George (…read the poem!) was mortified that he had this huge book of stories and not one about a squirrel.

Salquin to the Rescue Book Two : The Chimona Chronicles  due out in the autumn of 2009.

I currently live in the olive and mandarin countryside between Barcelona and Valencia, Catalonia, Spain – above the lovely meandering river Ebro valley. I am surrounded by my own crowd of pets.

I do actually work as a professional U.S. naming consultant. (See BrighterNaming where we understand naming and branding.)

I come from a well-seeded background of International Marketing and Advertising and have worked in major consumer financial institutions in South Africa and the UK before moving to Spain. I have a good understanding of promoting your business enterprise.

We are BrighterSpain where you can advertise your  Restaurants, Hotels and Cafe´s or any business venture to help the locals and Expats integrate. I keep on hearing Europeans and Tourists from all over the world asking; “Where are the best places to stay? Do they have good restaurants? What entertainment is local – bars, clubs, cinemas, art and cultures, museums, places of interest to visit? Where are the sport facilities and are their indoor swimming pools open all year around? Basically, where is the action? Where can I buy…? What is the best building merchant, plumber, electrician to use?”

Catalonia is still an affordable holiday destination during the crisis, where you have choices, choices and more choices.

Holiday Rentals, ”Casa Rural” (Spanish approved and regulated) and Expats Bed & Breakfast or Self-catering Apartments  - you can advertise them all with us.

Why not rent before you buy. We can introduce you to Jeff Greensmith at www.FincasDirect.com a reputable and very experienced agent, if you are property hunting, for whatever reason – coast or inland in this part of Spain -Catalonia.

The Voice of the Ebro will advertise for you through Blogging and networking and international contacts,  when you advertise with BrighterSpain. Then you can leave us a supply of your business cards and we help to spread your work.

I am currently working on a new and exciting project called One Million Expats. So please write and tell me where you are an Expat from, along with some fun and foibles of where you have relocated to and how you are finding life and work or retirement there – be it different, the same, better and hopefully not worse than your motherland. You may write to me in English, French, German, Dutch or Spanish.

Do you have a story you want to tell? Tell us and we will “ghost” write it for you. Lots of photos you want to include? No problem – we can sort out all your notes, scrapbooks, diaries and bring them together into a wonderful article or e-book for you. Maybe, you have already written your book. They say everyone has a novel inside themselves. Now what? We can edit and proof-read it for you. We would love to hear about your tales of “the Good, the Bad, the Ugly, and hopefully, the Funny side” of living in Catalonia .Tell us and we tell them. We live to write!

At the Voice of the Ebro and www.BrighterSpain.com

We are your feet on the street

In the villages and up the hills we meet

In cyberspare or blogosphere I chatter

Because the Terres de l´Ebre people do matter!

Would love to network with you all .Send me a message at: RosieReay@FodenPress.com
