My books
I write to spark the imagination. Our brains often blur reality and illusion, experiencing both intensely. When immersed in stories, we see, hear, and feel alongside the characters, inhabiting another world within our minds. This mental journey triggers real physical reactions, as if we were truly there.
Pleasure and reward centers in the brain ignite, making the experience deeply immersive while quieting our critical judgment. We're simply transported. This is narrative's magic: fostering empathy, illuminating the human condition. My role is crafting the canvas; your imagination brings the tale alive, making it uniquely yours. It's a shared journey with the power to transform us both.
Writing feels like a vocation, a privilege to join the timeless tradition of storytelling that shapes societies and captures existence. I strive to be a conduit for this fundamental human impulse, reviving ancient wonder, awakening imagination. This is my why: to spark enduring visions, glimpse life’s mystery, and embark on transformative adventures. Because writing, reading, and reflecting – these acts make us feel intensely alive, helping us escape the 'immobility trap' Julio Cortázar so acutely described
