Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am 25 years old from Panama City, Panama. I started writing three years ago. Since then, I created Inner Truth Books to help children and adults strengthen their emotional intelligence through stories that teach: Self-empowerment, authenticity, empathy, values, and more.
With the proper emotional tools, everyone can achieve their fullest potential, and the world would be a better place. It’s easier for kids to conserve what they already have. That’s why I write for children. Plus, it’s extremely creative and fun.
For us adults, it’s not as easy as for kids to have emotional intelligence because we need to get rid of all the defense mechanisms we created as kids, and to do so; we need to be aware. It’s challenging but doable!
That’s why my stories are meant for adults as well but written in a childlike style.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
“Dancing Together.” The taught came to me when I saw birds flying over my window. I realized they don’t have a home; their home is each other. It inspired me to create a story.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Probably, but it’s usual for me. I only write when I get an idea, out of pure creativity and honest emotions.
