Jordana Blasco

Biography

I really enjoy reading the kind of books that are not too long and can learn something from (so no, I have not read War & Peace and skipped most chapters on the Quixote when I was at High School). I also like those books that transport you elsewhere. When I was a kid I liked the "Choose your own adventure" ones.
Music (any) and dancing salsa and bachata are other things that I love and, apart from that, food will be the next big thing. My favourite is the smell of bread as it is baking in the oven.
I try to practise what I preach and I have learnt to always look at the sunny side of things even when everything seems to be falling apart. It is difficult but achievable.
Writting makes me happy. I can make worlds of my own. I can write my own rules. I can share with whoever is willing to read.
My family always comes first and, even when I think I write nonsense, there will always be a little voice saying: "I love your books, mommy".
I am grateful every day I open my eyes. There is nothing more amazing than feeling alive.

You can become a 'Dreamer' if you want. If Justin Bieber can have Beliebers, why can't we be Dreamers?
