Chickens, Mules and Two Old Fools
**New York Times bestselling author**
If Joe and Vicky had known what relocating to a tiny mountain village in Andalucía would REALLY be like, they might have hesitated…
They have no idea of the culture shock in store. No idea they’ll become reluctant chicken farmers and own the most dangerous cockerel in Spain. No idea they’ll help capture a vulture or be rescued by a mule.
Will they stay, or return to the relative sanity of England?
*Includes Spanish recipes donated by the village ladies.*
Victoria Twead is the New York Times bestselling author of “Chickens, Mules and Two Old Fools” and the subsequent books in the Old Fools series.

More Ketchup Than Salsa
When Joe and his girlfriend Joy decide to trade in their life on a cold Lancashire fish market to run a bar in the sub-tropical, Tenerife sunshine, they anticipate a paradise of sea, sand and siestas.
