About the Author
I am writer and publisher living in Barcelona off and on since 1987 (currently on) . I have written several bestselling computer books about using technology to tell one's story, with and without the support of a large publisher. In 2011 I began to publish books about Catalonia and its upcoming independence in English, including a series of essays by Catalan experts, titled "What's up with Catalonia? " and a book of photographs illustrating the incredible creativity of this eminently grassroots, non-violent, progressive, democratic process called "Many Grains of Sand: A sourcebook of ideas for changing the world, tried and tested in Catalonia".
