about: As a Portuguese chunky kid born in the late 80's, I used to read a lot of comic books, fantasying with the day I could write them. 2011 was the year when the dream came true, starting out in the world of comics as writer and co-editor of the Portuguese anthology Zone BD, focuses on discovering young Portuguese and Brazilian artists. Since then, I wrote a dozen short stories in national and international comics anthologies, as well as 4 graphic novels published in Portugal, the UK and Brazil. In the worst year of our recent lives, I wrote my first literary short novel, realizing that not every story is suited for this medium.I live happily in a semi-isolation state with my wife and newly born daughter in a small village by the sea.Awards:Nom As a Portuguese chunky kid born in the late 80's, I used to read a lot of comic books, fantasying with the day I could write them. 2011 was the year when the dream came true, starting out in the world of comics as writer and co-editor of the Portuguese anthology Zone BD, focuses on discovering young Portuguese and Brazilian artists.
