Welcome

Welcome to my new website. In this news section you’ll get the latest updates on my novels and my life as a writer, so that you don’t miss out on anything.

Entre algodones is an excellent mirror of modern society. It brings thought. It has intrigue, it’s not predictable, and it has a good character study. They vibrate and have blood in their veins. Without a doubt, behind this novel there is a great writer.

Entre algodones is a realistic, contemporary novel with a touch of fantasy. A seemingly happy couple, but not really. Along with them, there is another protagonist, which is a space: a hotel where several lives unfold.

Do yo need to be a little crazy to write? Judging by this picture, one would say yes. What you see on the wall is the outline of my latest novel, “Entre algodones,” scene by scene, so I don’t know if if some craziness is needed but a lot of thought is. In the end, it paid off, because I won an award with this book and got published.
