My Work as a Writer
I have experienced that words are powerful enough to heal a broken soul, and I have developed a fascination with everyday heroes: the single mothers, the silent workers, the teachers, and so many others. I love telling stories but what is more important, I want inspiring others to tell their own.
Erase una Vez en el Magdalena Grande
It is the year 1922. The spirit of La Llorona haunts the nights of the people of Tamalameque. The village priest and a young musician seek the help of an old minstrel who, according to stories, possessed a magical accordion with the power of defeat the beings of darkness. Legend has it he even defeated the devil himself in a musical duel. But those days are long gone. Francisco Moscote no longer plays the accordion. He spends his days drinking and regretting his mistakes. He refuses to return to his old life, but when he learns that the young musician is his nephew, he decides to undertake one last adventure and finally heal the wounds of his past.
Sangre y Mortero
This collection of short stories weaves together tenderness and absence, shared laughter and the silence left by grief. Through the experiences of a father and son, the reader journeys into small everyday adventures set in a village where memory and imagination coexist. Each tale reveals the strength of family and community bonds: simple games turned into lessons, memories that weigh heavily yet also illuminate, and the way the ordinary becomes extraordinary when seen through the eyes of affection. These pages are an intimate and collective journey, where life unfolds in fragments—like a mosaic of loss, love, and hope.
