Words are a shelter; stories are a journey.
Writer and Author
Writing is how I remain. How I preserve. How I tell my truth… quietly.
I flee among those words that guide us and remain… deep. I’d like to believe I give home to emotions that don’t find a place in everyday life.
I started writing when I realized that I wanted to create new worlds and invite others to visit them; that I wanted to give birth to characters, and get to know them, as they grew.
My stories seek me out and, although they often generate from my most remote memories, they surpass me, and I become myself a voracious reader of them.
I founded Gatchò™ as a place where style, identity, and stories meet. I publish with Gatchó Books for those who want to experience the emotion of living other lives and perhaps, in those lives, rediscover themselves.
Welcome.

MY BOOKS
Each of my books tell fictional stories, but true. And, if one page will find a way to speak to you, then perhaps, the others will too.
7 Doors begins in Baltimore, in 1978, with 22-year-old Jerry sleeping inside an iron lung that keeps him alive — the machine in which he has spent most of his life. His sleep is violently interrupted by an evil dwarf, and a mysterious energy breaks the machine, giving Jerry the strength to leave his room. Suddenly, 27 doors appear, and each one forces him to step through. Covered in blood, he encounters a child and his mother. Realizing that Jerry is lost and perhaps injured, the woman takes him to the police station. There, the police database reveals a horrifying truth about Jerry. With every door, Jerry must face his own soul — a journey toward redemption that spans from New York to Florida, from Las Vegas to Brazil.
Time, space, and people will take on entirely new meanings… and Jerry’s life will find a new dimension.
A love story between two people, seen directly through their own eyes — an emotional journey of regret, escape, and hope.
A man and a woman, through anecdotes and impressions, recount their marriage in the first person — a union born of love, whose true nature remains to be discovered.
When love shows the way, you never lose your path. Because true love comes only once in a lifetime.
how i write
I write spontaneously, to follow the flow of the story, before the characters become my editors.
For me, writing is an adventure into the unknown.
Places and characters intersect, sometimes return, in a universe yet to be discovered.
I want the emotion of reading to drive the plot forward.
My stories begin with “a man lying in bed, a husband talking about himself, a couple at the altar”, and end with, “Once upon a time.”
I seek my voice, until the more interesting voices of the characters overshadowed me.
I know that once closed and published, the book is no longer mine, but becomes a living being in the soul of all readers, myself included, and it will grow, following its own path.
JOURNAL
Thoughts
This is not a blog.
It’s a place where I lay down words when I still don’t know where they belong.
Here I collect unfinished thoughts, half-born sentences, small notes that might one day become something. Or maybe not.
I write to remember. To bring clarity. To leave a trace — even a tiny one — of what I live and observe,
through the lens of someone who’s never stopped searching for meaning,
even in the simplest things.
