The writer has been putting pen to paper since childhood, shaping short stories in youth, crafting thrillers during adolescence, and now turning attention to children’s and youth literature. The journey is ongoing, with a curiosity that hints at exploring new genres in the future.
With a background in journalism, the author has built a career as an educator and currently teaches at a university in Elche. The aim remains clear: to inspire through storytelling and to share knowledge with the next generation of readers and writers.
One central belief guides the approach to books: a work should invite immersion, offer distraction from one’s own life for a while, and simultaneously blend enjoyment with learning and a good command of language. A book should be entertaining, informative, and linguistically rich.
The Six Friends collection evolves into a series of adventures where a close-knit group of friends unravels mysteries. The goal is to introduce readers to the history and cultural diversity of the country, illustrating that many problems can be solved through cleverness and teamwork. Each installment opens a doorway to new places and ideas, inviting curiosity about regional traditions and landscapes.
One standout feature is how the first book introduces readers to the concept of a granary and explains its role, all within a setting that celebrates Asturias. The second entry shifts to Granada, painting vivid scenes of the Alhambra, Sacromonte, and Guadix with its famous cave houses. The third journey transports readers to Alicante, weaving in the legend of the Face of the Moor and the island of Tabarca alongside tales of pirate raids. The overarching idea is a book for each community, with a handful more planned for the future.
In Six Friends and the Curse of the Ghost Galleon, the action centers largely on Tabarca, offering insights into pirate raids, the impressive lighthouse that once served as a school for lighthouse keepers, and even a nod to the legendary singer Sara Montiel set within the narrative. The story blends history with a sense of adventure, inviting readers to explore maritime lore and coastal life.
The three books present distinct flavors. The Top Six Friends and the Mystery of the Abandoned Granary leans toward sweeter, more puzzle-driven clues. Six Friends and the Secret of the Alhambra channels a mix of Christie-esque suspense and Indiana Jones-style adventure. The third entry, Six Friends and the Curse of the Ghost Galleon, amps up the suspense and targets readers around twelve years old, offering a more intricate and thrilling experience.
Recognition came when the author received a notable prize for children’s and youth literature at an international book fair in Barcelona in 2022. In addition to published works, the writer creates personalized stories for family, partners, or friends, offered through a dedicated storytelling service that crafts tailor-made narratives for special occasions and memorable gifts.
The conversation closes with a hopeful note, encouraging aspiring readers and writers to pursue their dreams with determination. There is a belief that limits should not be placed on oneself; dreams deserve effort, and effort deserves action.
