"Some stories wait their turn to be told, others just tap you on the shoulder and insist you tell them."

By one of those wonderful coincidences with which life is filled, I find that the first time the word alchemyst--with a Y--appears in my notes is in May 1997. Ten years later, almost to the day, The Alchemyst, the first book in the Nicholas Flamel series, will be published in May.

Every writer I know keeps a notebook full of those ideas, which might, one day, turn into a story. Most writers know they will probably never write the vast majority of those ideas. Most stories wait their turn to be told, but there are a few which tap you on the shoulder and insist on being told. These are the stories which simply will not go away until you get them down on paper, where you find yourself coming across precisely the research you need, or discovering the perfect character or, in my case, actually stumbling across Nicholas Flamel's house in Paris.

Discovering Flamel's house was the final piece I needed to put the book together. It also gave me the character of Nicholas Flamel because, up to that point, the book was without a hero.

And Nicholas Flamel brought so much to the story.

Nicholas Flamel was one of the most famous alchemists of his day. He was born in 1330 and earned his living as a bookseller, which, by another of those wonderful coincidences, was the same job I had for many years.

One day he bought a book, the same book mentioned in The Alchemyst: the Book of Abraham. It, too, really existed and Nicholas Flamel left us with a very detailed description of the copper-bound book. Although the book itself is lost, the illustrations from the text still exist.

Accompanied by his wife Perenelle, Nicholas spent more than 20 years trying to translate book. He must have succeeded. He became extraordinarily wealthy and used some of his great wealth to found hospitals, churches, and orphanages. Perhaps he had discovered the secret of the Ph

Valentino Rossi’s inseparable friend

In a video for motogp.com Rossi himself remarks: “I was the first to bring a friend into the garage. I paved the way there too. Before that there were other people who would help out or work, but I preferred to have my friend, so in the evening, if I was in Japan for example, I could talk to him about normal things, about what was going on in Tavullia. That made things less boring. He invented a job. That’s a great thing”. From then on, various riders would follow suit, from Marc Marquez to Franco Morbidelli.

Their friendship has lasted a lifetime: “Uccio grew up with me, he’s always been an assistant as well as my best friend ever since kindergarten. We’d go out and he’d come to my house or me to his, and now here we are, 35 years later".

"Uccio", Rossi’s right-hand man

But what does “Uccio” actually do? The man himself says: “From when he gets up to when he goes to bed, a rider has a thousand things to do. So I try to ease some of that work, removing anything from his mind that might bother him. Even little things, like taking his leathers, ensuring everything’s in the right place in the garage. Having a person you can trust”. After all, friends are the family you choose, a definition that couldn’t be more apt in this case.
