As every year, I would like to take a moment to wish you all a happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year 2025. I sincerely hope that you can enjoy a little peace these days with your friends and family, along with moments of laughter, joy and good food.
2024 has been another whirlwind year, with many new things, challenges, surprises and battles that have opened up new horizons for me. It has been another crazy year for me. I started by returning to Vietnam, initially for three months, but in the end I have been there for more than half a year. I did so with the clear intention of continuing to develop the contacts I made in 2023 and I am very happy to see that they have germinated and given fruit in the form of Barbaros Group, the restaurant group in which I have been involved.
So this year I have combined the support and development of restaurant concepts such as Barbaros Restaurant, Truc Bao, Bun Cha Khoi or the imminent Bianco e Nero, with the publication of ‘El loto de piedra‘ and ‘Sí, pasarán‘ in English, along with new reissues of ‘El camino a Valhalla‘ and ‘Ragnarok‘ in Spanish, as well as ‘El despertar‘ in English. I have recently published ‘The Dark Hybrid‘, the first bonus chapter of ‘Mark of Odin: Ragnarok‘ and have developed new websites such as new versions of ‘Mark of Odin‘ and my magazine ‘GoMultiplayer‘, as well as all those related to ‘Barbaros Group‘.
By 2025 I hope to continue growing the universe of my books, with new extended content and bonus chapters of ‘Ragnarok‘, as well as publishing in English both this book and the previous one, ‘Road to Valhalla‘. All of this to be able to finally get to the point of being able to tackle the final draft of the fourth and last book of the ‘Mark of Odin‘ saga. In addition, it is time to launch the remake of the first video game we developed at Megapop Games, Trolls Vs Vikings Reborn! Not only that, in this new year I hope to return to Vietnam soon to continue developing my projects there and, who knows, maybe we can finally make the leap from my books to film, television, animation or video games. Will this be the year in which someone will realize the potential of my intellectual properties? We will see.
I say goodbye wishing you good health, happiness and that you enjoy the meals with your family and friends. Take care!
