Author of the novels BILIS NEGRA (BLACK BILE), ARCADIA y HEROICA, and the plays The Silence, The Great Pretender, Topophilia and MEN. Founder and co-director of ARISTEIA PRESS, currently publishing COLIN WILSON'S OUTSIDER CYCLE. Creator of the cultural magazine LA CONQUISTA DE ARISTEIA Novels published by ARISTEIA PRESS, PLANETA, RANDOM HOUSE, LÜBBE and SAGA EGMONT in Spain, Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Luxembourg. ENGLISH/ ESPAÑOL My novels are a combination of mystery, psychological suspense and philosophical (or existential) proposals, starring singular and individualistic characters who go in search of themselves and after the big questions that are still unanswered (Almost all the important ones). I try to do this without giving up a plot that maintains interest and tension till the end. In addition to reaffirming our ideal of life and expanding our consciousness, a book should captivate us, entertain us, illuminate us, make us wiser, provide us with unforgettable epiphanies. Yes. All this and more. Let us not forget that the word has the power of an invocation, the power to create universes. I am perhaps the only member (Is there anyone else?) of a movement that should never have died: Romanticism. The best way to define my New Romanticism continues to be the one Novalis used on his time: "Insofar as I give a higher meaning to what is commonplace, and a mysterious appearance to what is ordinary, the dignity of the unknown to what is known, a semblance of infinity to what is finite, I romanticize it". Let's romanticize. ESPAÑOL Mis novelas son una combinación de misterio, suspense psicológico y propuestas filosóficas (o existenciales), protagonizadas por personajes singulares e individualistas que van en busca de sí mismos y tras las grandes preguntas que aún están sin contestar (Casi todas las importantes). Mi objetivo es conseguir esto sin renunciar a una trama que mantenga el interés y la tensión hasta el final. Además de reafirmar nuestro ideal de vida y expandir nuestra conciencia, un libro debe cautivarnos, divertirnos, iluminarnos, hacernos más sabios, proporcionarnos Epifanías inolvidables. Sí. Todo esto y más. No olvidemos que la palabra tiene el poder de una invocación, el poder de crear universos. Soy quizá la única integrante (¿Hay alguien más?) de un movimiento que nunca debió morir: el Romanticismo. La mejor forma de definir mi Nuevo Romanticismo sigue siendo la que Novalis usó en su momento: "En cuanto doy alto sentido a lo ordinario, a lo conocido dignidad de desconocido y apariencia infinita a lo finito, con todo ello romantizo". Romanticemos. Mis novelas han sido publicadas por ARISTEIA PRESS, PLANETA, RANDOM HOUSE y SAGA EGMONT en España, Alemania, Austria, Suiza y Luxemburgo.
