Biography

A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME

My first memories of childhood are my parents dropping me off at my grandmother's first thing in the morning and picking me up after work. Grandma Montse had never learnt to read but she was a gifted storyteller. Growing up, she told me countless tales passed down through generations. Creepy little stories with morals to keep children from misbehaving, and from sleeping as well.

​Grandma Montse passed away when I was 12 years-old. I watched it all happened from my hiding spot under the living room table as my family set up her death bed in the same room she used to tell me stories. After that nightmares took over, keeping me up at night, and I took up reading and writing to keep the ghouls at bay.

Many things have happened between now and then but I still feel her presence watching over me. Her weight on the covers, as she sits at the feet of my bed and whispers stories in my ear. Nightmares continue to haunt me to this day and I am thankful. For I can write them down and share them with the world, giving other people a glimpse of my dark, unconventional upbringing and passing my own stories down like she'd wanted me to.
