I like to unlock every now and again the golden coffer of memories, letting out the cheerful notes of my old guitar. It fills the air with music just as it used to in the past among our group of university friends. I can see our home with its spacious garden all bathed in sunlight, where I used to daydream in wistful solitude for hours, conjuring up image after image, and jotting down rhyme after rhyme… I tenderly recall the prizes I have won throughout my sports career, as well as my mates from those times.

Why did you choose the romantic genre?
Because I only profess the faith of the eternal love of God. There is one universal truth that holds together human relationships, and carries in itself infinite healing power and all the beauty of life. I did my best to create my characters in line with this giant plot. Once you've been touched by true love, it opens up bright horizons for you and guides your way here on earth. But such enlightenment always goes through the pain and strife of all life lessons, that happen to us. It is a step-by-step process which usually passes through an initial phase of naïve uninformed innocence and continues right until reaching a revelation about the universal wisdom planted within every person's life.
