Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Well…I am from Brazil…and I am a very active person, or better, I am hyperactive. Professionally I’m a lawyer and a writer…I love to dance, to work out, to read and to cook ( I can cook some amazing dishes and now I’m learning Indian Cook…spicy!!!!). I am also addicted to movies.I love to learn foreigner languages and culture ( I speak English, French, Spanish and Portuguese) and I travel abroad whenever I can. I love art and I’m a museum rat and passionate about history. I love animals. All kind of animals. And I have two dogs, two beautiful girls, Gaia and Juno.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Behind The Door is my first and latest novel
Human nature inspired me. I love to observe people and try to guess why they behave the way they do…it’s all about hidden motives and we all have ours.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Whenever I have an idea for a scene I send messages to myself (whats app and e-mails)
What authors, or books have influenced you?
So many marvelous writers inspired me…to start with the classical ones like Emily Bronte, Stendhal, Dumas, Saad Marquis, Margaret Mitchell and modern ones like Marc Levy, Tom Clancy, Dan Brown, John Grisham and Colleen McCullough …but I could list a hundred here…the poems of Alisson Matos – a Brazilian writer – from Baudelaire to Allan Poe…
What are you working on now?
I am working now on Lara’s Diaries, the sequel to Behind The Door.

What’s next for you as a writer?
Keep writing, that makes me happy!
