I was born in Tocopilla, a small fishing and mining town in the north of Chile.

My passion for creating worlds started when I was around 5 and realized my tiny town in the middle of the Atacama Desert lacked the excitement my young mind craved.

The sun in that corner of the world chases you like a rabid dog, and I would ride away from it on my bike while imagining worlds full of adventures and dangerous monsters.

In 2001 I decided to emigrate to the United States, looking for adventure and a less hostile environment for LGBT people.

After 15 years of writing columns for local newspapers, starting and closing blogs and sharing my thoughts on social media, I embarked on the dangerous quest of writing a novel.

My first book, The Catcher's Trap, will be available in a bookstore close to you in the fall.
