I enjoy writing funny and entertaining stories for the readers. My books are full of characters that chapter by chapter are creating their own personality. So much, that in many occasion, it seems that they are take their own positions and I can only attend as a mere spectator to the development of the story. I find it fun to assigned to the character eye catching features that I have observed in different people, that’s why sometimes, the characters do absurd or extravagant things but deep down, I believe that’s why they are so dear you ever get attach to them. Who hasn’t put the foot at one point? Gathering a bunch of characters in this way, in the same story, comedy is inevitable. I only limit myself to tell about their relationships in the most natural way possible.

Years ago I went to Italy, in Florence I bought a local newspaper to entertain myself on the train to Bologna. Among all the news, one caught my attention. In a small town in Calabria with no more than a thousand inhabitants a neighbour had won the Italian lottery but several days later he hadn’t appeared to claim it. That anecdote is a conducting thread to A Lucky Day.
The biggest price in the history of the European Lottery fell in a small town of the French Riviera, the novel starts the day that the prize expires with out the winner appearing to claim it. The plot is just an excuse to enter in the lives of a bunch of unique characters with real situations taken to the limit that turn out to be at the same time funny and exciting.

Write, write and write. You don’t have to think in wanting to write, you have to do it and be constant, create a routine. There is no other way.

I am working on a new novel that up to recently I dared to englobe it within no gender. It has suspense, romance, a crime and, obviously, a good dose of humour. Recently I discovered the Cozy Mystery gender and I believe this novel could fit well in it.

That question is easy. My wife absolutely. Not only does she inspired me and keep inspiring each day but she also forces me to sit in front of the computer. She always stays till late to read what I have written during the day and seeing her smile or get excited encourages me to continue writing. I owe it all to her.
