Dear Hans,
I was very interested in your blog and would love to read your book when it becomes available in English.
You might be interested to know that in my novel Pilgrimage to Heresy I have written about the Santiago myth quite extensively in the form of the story of Priscillian of Avila whom I believe (as do many)may very well be the occupant of the tomb. What a delightful irony if all of us "pilgrims" are walking so far to the gravesite of a known "heretic"!
In the meantime I am researching the next book in The Camino Chronicles series to be entitled simply "Compostela". In this book I continue with both the historical and present day Camino (this will be a time-shift book like the first) and in particular will introduce Diego Gelmirez - what a monster he was, but what a fascinating man! If you are interested at all you can follow my blog on the subject at www.pilgrimagetoheresy.blogspot.com
Pilgrimage to Heresy is also avaialble in Spanish as Peregrinos de la Herejia.

Hans Rottier:
Dear Tracy,

Thanks for the reaction.

Although my book is not a novel and as such very different, I think that the idea that Santiago is not buried in Compostela is shared by both of us. From there I take a historical view and not a novelist view. The book is an exercise in interpretation and should be seen as a pilgrims report and as a creation of a working hypothesis for historical interpretation.

The translation will probably not be available to you before you before you finish "Compostela" but maybe the fragments on the site are of use to you.

Good luck writing "Compostela"!
