Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I was born in São Paulo, Brazil. I had a nice childhood, surrounded by toys and the affection that every child needs. As a teenager I had my fun, but I’ve always been a fan of the motto, “health and judgment.” I’ve also always liked to write. …
I also always loved it as a child scribbling drawings and later in my teens I started painting some paintings and even recorded a new character in comics that I have kept.
My first book were Poetry’s,Lyrical Chronicles and Thoughts.
My second book title is “A distância não vai conseguir separar você de mim in Brasilian Portuguese. The distance will not be able to separate you from in the English language that speaks from the high school adventures of the 80s.The first one is Poetry’s,Lyrical Chronicle and Thoughts.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The last one,The distance won’t be able to separate you from me is inspired by the teenage adventures of the youth of the 80’s and 90’s.A time when the internet was still a novelty and our only concern was to read more and more books for inspiration, to get good grades at school and to have a lot of culture.Things weren’t chewed up.We had to read and think nothing compared to these modernities of today.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I have many drafts and notes in notebooks and files saved on hard work from old computers. In the old place I was more annotator and observer and any inspiration that came I would get a piece of paper and pen and write so as not to forget the initial idea.A lot of ideas have come up like this but now I want to turn a lot of work into music.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Of course everyone who is from the world the arts, literature and music ends up discovering their own talent but sore read a lot and loved history books mainly about World War II but no one does anything without reading the point of view of others.
Being so at school I liked very much rde a book that inspired called School writing, analysis,synthesis and Extrapolacso, Illustrated Grammar with its hilarious comics to explain my language and other books since Agatha Cristhie, Hercule Poirot,The Little Prince at school, Albert Einstein and bibliography of world famous leaders
What are you working on now?
At the moment, I am spreading what I already have and looking for partnerships in the sense of composing music with my works and recovering the files of old HDs where there is more material saved for other books.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I think that currently there is no better method not what exists and be recognized for its talent and dedication even because for whom and beginner, unknown and does not write at the level of Shakespeare due to this not being my native language much criticism.And there is a lot of boldness in the said modernities.So people are very immediatist with videos and crazy stories but and a sieve I do not seek my 15 minutes of Fame as the saying goes in my country but something lasting in the people need to wake up mainly young people but all in general for what is lasting and not immediacy.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Enjoy what you do, never think of reward that recognize your talent is priceless and study, improve yourself.Everything and like a diamond that needs to be cut.
Having firm feet on the ground that these modernities have also brought with them a lot of illusion and lies making people create false expectations which is very boring and sad.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
First of all from my father who is gone: have your feet firmly on the ground and study, improve yourself and from my mother who always believed in me
Of my dear Portuguese Language teachers who praised
From one or the other friend:move on you get way to the thing
Of a church and its young people: never give up your dreams
And of Art Seeman who said:What we get is an open honest appraisal of Young’s energy and his view of life. This is good poetry. It is honest and not self-seeking. ”Art Seemann ” AICW – ” The American Institute of Creative Writing
What are you reading now?
I think more than want to read just this or that book and need to have a general knowledge of everything to have creativity and point of view.
Being so and I need to read everything as in fact I have always done since childhood until now.As I always wanted to be a teacher, journalist,philosopher,historian, finally something related to the arts and humanities I love to read articles from newspapers that speak from important facts at the national and international level Passing by historical figures.
What’s next for you as a writer?
In fact, to make the world know my words and to be able to write and sing music since they are related arts. Have my channel on the radio or tv or be a commentator. On YouTube I already have a channel but I want to grow more . That today you have to be a different all-rounder than you used to be.
It does not advance I to want to begin anything new without at least the persons in whole world to know of what it has already promptly. Oh as it is said that the dictation in mine country:There complicates isn’t it Jon Doe?
If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
Something on survival surely
Another book on love not to lose heart
Other on history not to forget of as it was the world before me to be in this island.
