I wrote my first short novel when I was 8, and always knew I was born to write. It was organic, nobody taught me, I just wrote! (My daughter, 13, is finishing her first novel. It is so amazingly good it's scary! Writing is something that comes with you.)

I published my first novel in 1994, about the time I became an attorney and got an MBA (I have to pay bills too!).

Then I published a business book on Globalization and Regional Integration, and forgot about writing for the next 10 years... I was too busy developing real estate, was doing really great... and then the market crashed!

Failure is the way destiny reminds us that we are on the wrong path... And although making (and losing!) money was okay, I was born to write!

So, I corrected course, and from 2009, I have been writing frantically, publishing novels, books on entrepreneurship and motivation, and original translations of great motivational books like Think and Grow Rich (Hill) and Prosperity How to Attract It (Marden).

In 2014 I published the first two novels of four, of a series named KNIGHTS OF NOSTRADAMUS, on Prophecies, Nostradamus, Pyramids, the Holy Grail and Ancient Secrets. Apparently, something did happen on Dec.21, 2012, but we won't know for a few years...

"The Circle of Power: Four Prophecies" hit the market like a storm, immediately followed by "The Pyramid of Apocalypse". Currently, I'm working on novels 3 and 4 of the series. Hopefully, people will think they are as cool as I think they are, ha!

I also just published YES! TO SUCCESS, a book in which I poured my soul. I am sure people will be motivated. The whole idea is that we all improve and seek greatness!

I am enjoying my life like never before, I get incredibly happy when I receive emails from readers, and want to write as many novels and motivational books as I humanly can.

Now, I'm absolutely sure this is how I fulfill my destiny.
