To do what I can is normal. To go beyond my capacities is a challenge. Where my capacities ends, there begins my faith. A strong faith sees the invisible, believes the incredible and receives the impossible. Daisaku Ikeda

Welcome to my website! This is a space to share my work with you: books, curiosities, images and thoughts.

"I write because I have something to say and to leave a mark. I write to live emotions and because I love to do it with my characters. I write to get the best out of myself and others, because in each of us there is always a better part that we can't, or don't want to rediscover, or that life confuses rather than enhance.... I write so that others can enjoy the wonderful time that a good reading gives, and to relive the most intense moments, those that leave their mark, that are our strength and that make us what we are and not what life wants. I write because a world without books would be fragile, at the mercy of the wind, empty and without purpose. I write for my heart to beat and for my breath to give me strength. I write because this life (beautiful or ugly) deserves to be lived, always, despite us, despite me..."
