I was born in Ourense in 1958. I have been living in Madrid since 1964. I have studied English, French and Photography. I shall try to make a good translation from Spanish into English of my Short Stories, mostly History's, Memoir's, Action/Thriller's, Humour's and Children's; Articles, fragments of a finished novel and a few poems.


Background Information

I have written since very young from my habitude of reading  and  most  of  my  writings are autobiographical.

I am in debt with many writers of short stories, especially English and North American, Spanish and American-Spanish. I could mention many, of course, but I will Edgar Allan Poe and Jorge Luis Borges like masters to whom I am grateful to for the exciting and enriching times.

As for the writers I am in debt with for doing things very similar or kind of as I have done, I am deeply moved to mention John Steinbeck's Tortilla Flat and J.D. Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye.

Concerning essayists I would name as many as I can, but again comes up the name of Jorge Luis Borges, who taught me also how to confuse the enemies and be expectant for Revolution not giving up learning.

Regarding Poets I am happy to have enjoyed, I must mention William Blake, Pablo Neruda, Lorca, Antonio Machado, Emily Dickinson, Sylvia Plath, Louise Glück, some  Irish bards for the magic gifts, and many others, known or not, but the list would be long.

Regarding playwrights not only just to let you see I do not leave anything unforgiveable, I know it certainly be reasonable to mention the ones who kept me intrigued when I was only ten years old: Eugene O'Neill and Luigi Pirandello.

With respect to witticisms I am still astounded and spellbound about, how could I forget Mr. Oscar Wilde.

I hope you will enjoy my short stories and my poems.
