Official Biography
Born and raised in Venezuela from Italian immigrants, I completed a BA degree in Political and Administrative Cs. before moving to the US.
Although I built a career as a Business Analyst / Accountant since 1987, I also have kept myself active as a Freelance writer in the US. This year I finally took the plunge to the publishing Industry and currently work as the Editorial Assistant at Reader Views and First Chapter Plus while dedicating the remainder of my time to my own writing.
A little Note about myself:
I have been writing essays and poetry in Spanish since I was 13 years old, and started playing with some short poems in English, once in the US, but never took it seriously until I listened to my father tapes.
In an effort to get to know my father, I had asked him to tape some anecdotes so that I could type a little memoir for his grandkids to read when they were older. Two years later he changed my life by giving me his life in 5 tapes.
It took 14 years for me to learn how to write in English, research, and write Innocent War, which is book 1 of a series based on my Dad's and my Mom's lives was published in 2009, as well as create a small writer profile with few small publications.
I have been influenced by my parents, grandparents and my uncles my whole life. I imitated them in most of my decision making as I grew up, and yet I had no idea of who they were, no clue on their amazing life.
I always wrote as I whispered to myself, my motivation now is different. I write to share who I am, to share life lessons through story telling...my family's stories, my own stories. I meant to find my father in those tapes, instead I found myself, and the writer within.
My goal now as I write is to help generations connect and learn from each other.
