Editor’s Letter

Writing helps me grow personally and professionally, and this year, I hope to share new crime novels with you. 2025 is for living, dreaming, and moving closer to my goals. Happy New Year, 2025!

Christmas card

Christmas is a time for heartfelt reunions, shared laughter, and cherished traditions around a table filled with love and warmth. It’s more than decorative lights, adorned trees, and the flurry of gifts—it’s about connection, gratitude, and reflection. Amid the joy, there’s space for nostalgia, as we remember those no longer with us, their absence felt but their love enduring. Life’s fleeting nature teaches us to treasure the present—the laughter of family, ...

Henri Cartier-Bresson

I never thought I would enjoy sharing a coffee with Henri Cartier-Bresson, perhaps because until now I hadn’t had the opportunity to closely examine part of his work. That was precisely the feeling I had after leaving the exhibition organised by the Mapfre Foundation in commemoration of the 20th anniversary of his death. Henri Cartier-Bresson was one of the most important photographers of the 20th century, not only for being ...

It’s raining

The text reflects on the nature of change, symbolized by the rain. While it may seem like the same rain, it’s not. Time has been shifting in subtle ways, and change often comes unexpectedly. The rain represents the essence of change: it falls with intensity, bringing renewal and freedom. It is in the rain that the author finds their true self, embracing the freedom and movement it symbolizes. The text ...

Like Artemis

Working Women's Day and I think of Artemis, the Greek Goddess of the Hunt, who coincidentally went hunting with her bow and arrow, which Zeus gave her, but also with six dogs that Pan gave her. Curious that they were men, and only the men, those who provided the weapons to work. I also think of the story of Cinderella, that they only wanted her to work at home removing dirt ...

Before and after Clandestina

With the release of "Clandestina", it is almost impossible for me to have a moment to write calmly, although I always take any unexpected coffee to get pen and notebook, or to write down ideas, which I hope can materialize and develop, then, with calm that requires literary creation, that calm that all writers need to write better texts. Now I remember that after lifetime writing poems, stories and professional articles, ...

Sons of Autumn

“Autumn...the year's last, loveliest smile." John Howard Bryant I have started my special countdown to say goodbye to Autumn. It's something nonsensical I think, what do I do for the first time: I'm leaving for a season, and it's not precisely because I want to end this sweet Autumn that I am living, but on the contrary, I hope it will never end. But we must be realistic, as the good of ...

Phosphenes in the dark

Let me tell you a little secret: darkness always lurks, it's useless to ignore it, it's always there to corral you with its presence. Darkness is a kind of psychopath, intelligent, tenacious almost strategist, who always hides and then appears by surprise. It becomes that guest non grata, that nobody wants to appear, because it ends up frusting everything. Sometimes it appears late, fortunately very late, and in others, it arrives too ...

Our tribe

During our life, we ​​belong to different tribes. In some, we will find ourselves better than in others. We realize that we do not belong to a tribe when we feel rejected by it.

Changing from one tribe to ...
