Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am from Mimoso, a small village in Northeastern Brazil. My passion for literature began still in adolescence. I readed the books made available at the Library of a Local Foundation. It was my only opportunity because I did not have money to buy books. With the maturity, I became a writer with more than twenty books written and translated into more of a dozen languages.
