Twelve O'Clock-Tales And After-Hours Thoughts, a hybrid memoir full of heart, nightlife vibes and intimate confessions –seasoned with cocktail recipes designed by friends. For years, Ana Íñigo Olea was a Genever Diva at the heart of the spirits industry. Then she stepped back. What followed were 65 vignettes, 29 illustrations, 18 recipes, and a long-gone spotlight.
Step by Step, uh, baby... It's how things get done.
I thought I'd drop a word today to thank all of you once more, dear supporters. You might like to hear that your early sponsorship of the project has helped create enough buzz and interest to smooth the path through the production process.
In addition, you might like to hear that the manuscript has developed nicely during these past few months. A translation into Castilian as standard presentation, turning the book into a bilingual experience; the content has also grown and you will encounter a few more vignettes than originally planned along with a few more illustrations and cocktail recipes.
Though this is probably the hardest of times on this publishing road, I'm still ultra motivated to see it come to life; it only comes to show how much I believe in it, a funny test of proof of certainty that this had to be done, right here, right now.
Much Love,
Ana

Pasito a pasito, suave, suavecito... una buena manera de hacer bien las cosas.
Pensé que ya era momento de un nuevo comentario para recordaros que todo va viento en popa. El manuscrito, ya completo, ha pasado por algunos cambios y adiciones; os encontraréis con algunos relatos, ilustraciones y recetas que no estaban incluidos en la versión original. Cada contenido requiere sus condiciones atmosféricas específicas y el tiempo me lo demuestra una y otra vez.
El apoyo de la preventa ha tenido una repercusión muy positiva en el proceso de publicación. Gracias a todos, una vez más, por vuestro apoyo a ciegas. Por mi parte, aunque esta es, probablemente, la fase más dura del proceso: la espera, sigo plenamente motivada, prueba irrefutable de la certeza de que este proyecto tiene que ver la luz, aquí y ahora.
Con mucho cariño,
Ana
