About Me
I'm an award-winning author and screenwriter.
I started my journey publishing a novel and several short stories, mostly in the fantasy/sci-fi genres. I was later staffed in three animation shows: Starlit Adventures, in development; Five Kids Club, in development; and Bubu Fun, available on Youtube.
After working on the TV format, I had the opportunity to start writing for games: Detective Sklue: Bue Bayou Blues – an interactive fiction, dark humor investigation game (for the web), Aspire: Ina’s Tale – a story-rich sci-fi/fantasy platformer (PC, Xbox, Playstation and Switch), Wonderbox: The Adventure Maker – an adventure game that lets you create your own adventures (Apple Arcade), The Serpent Rogue – a sandbox alchemy game set in a Dark Ages sort of world (PC, Xbox, Playstation and Switch), and Wardens Rising – a fantasy sci-fi tower defense hero shooter (PC, Xbox and Playstation). Plus a couple of NDA projects which will be revealed in due time.
You can find my work in several different places, as I jump from one media to the other, always trying to create fun, entertaining stories with an eye out for mystery, adventure, and colorful characters, all wrapped around thought-provoking ideas and an evocative plot.
