Born in the small country of Uruguay in South America, I have somehow made Miami my home. I am a classical singer who spends lots of time either practicing stratospheric high notes, reading about impossible Gothic romances, or writing about impossible Gothic romances.

I also watch over a veritable army of pets, which include five cuddly snakes, (yes, cuddly) and my mynah bird, Loki.

You can find a large number of my poems in different literary magazines, such as Popshot and Penumbra, among others. I have been nominated for the Pushcart Prize and the Best of the Net prize.

My debut novel, The Rose Master, has been called a “strong, satisfying effort” by Publishers Weekly.
