A self-educated man who later graduated from the University of Oriente, he entered the field of TV production, becoming a director and screenwriter.

The author of numerous novels and short-story collections, Tauler is also the author of a manual for TV and film production, the third edition of which has recently been published in London. The present novel represents Tauler's literary d�but in the U.S. He and his wife Irma live and work in Miami, while his two children and a grandson remain in Cuba.
