Manny was born in Panama City, Republic of Panama. It is a souce of great pride for him that his Great-grandfather was the principal architect of that country's independence from Colombia.
He truly believes writing is a gift for which he is truly grateful. If not working on a contract project, he'll start a screenplay, look forward every morning to seeing what adventures his characters will have that day. It's something he does for the sheer fun of it!
Of the things he's written, Manny is most proud of the documentary he wrote chronicling the design, construction and installation of the magnificent Holocaust Memorial on Miami Beach, Florida which won a Gabrial award.
He's written over fifty, full-length screenplays, four self-help books and a novel along with several works for the theatre. Screenwriters and Playwrights inhabit two different worlds. One is in it for the money and fame. The other for love of the medium. Guess which is which.
Manny thinks what Amazon's Kindle program's doing is terrific! It has opened doors that for too long have been closed to authors, most especially to those men and women who have finished their first project and now have a totally receptive home where their efforts can be seen, recognized and agressively marketed.
