: About Me

Born in Argentina, 1963, I flew non-stop to Atlanta in 1998 and I've been living here since.

I work as a newswriter/copyeditor for a TV network. This job allows me to make a decent living so that I can focus on my journey as a fiction writer.

Currently, I am working on a a screenplay. I want to reach out to other writers and get their feedback on my work. This is very important to me because, as you can tell, English is not my first language yet I want to become a successful fiction writer in this language, which I love by the way.

As far back as I can remember I have embraced global communications, the internet being the ultimate vehicle to connect with people from all over the world. I have the feeling that this site can help me achieve that purpose. Also, I think the people I eventually connect with can inspire some of my writing.

She may be quite unprepared for a man like me with two divorces in my bag, and a number of disrupted, unreforged relationships. But I want her. I have to make sure that she knows I am ready for the next step. "You know, I feel close to you." "Likewise," she says in a whisper. "You touch my heart and take my breath away."...
