A Spanish Police Procedural
Zarzo I was born in 1978 in a working-class neighborhood in Madrid, raised between the capital and Extremadura, where my parents are from; I currently live in Andalusia, since 2013. I have an 11-year-old son to whom I dedicate all my books; I also use some of his expressions. I'm writing a novel with him as the protagonist.
I studied Audiovisual Communication and I'm always creating stories, both written and audiovisual. I do this not because I'm passionate about the craft itself, but because I'm passionate about the effect it creates in you, the reader. I write by and for you.

About the author
Zarzo Escribano
18 books112 followersZarzo Escribano son mis apellidos; para alguien que escribe no están mal, ¿verdad?
Soy un autor independiente con ocho libros publicados, y en este perfil encontrarás aquellos pertenecientes al género negro.
Thrillers, novelas policíacas, de misterio, de suspense, secuestros, asesinatos... De ese estilo que te gusta con crímenes y policías y corruptos y personas que viven al margen de la ley.
Si lees alguna de mis novelas te prometo horas de entretenimiento por muy pocos euros. Tú me pagas y yo te entretengo. ¿Es un buen trato, no?
Puedes buscar en la infinidad de libros que hay en Kindle y seguro que encuentras alguno que te guste. Pero si estás leyendo esta página de autor no has leído alguna de mis novelas, estás perdiendo el tiempo y el dinero: te garantizo que te van a gustar, y si no es así, me escribes y te invito a una cerveza. Los cafés los dejamos para los que quedan en Tinder y el whisky para las películas.
No te molesto más, pero antes de despedirme te cuento un par de detalles más de mi vida personal, que sé que te gusta curiosear (como a todo el mundo):
Nací en 1978 en un barrio humilde de Madrid, me crié entre la capital y Extremadura, de donde son mis padres; en la actualidad resido en Andalucía, desde 2013. Tengo un hijo de 11 años al que le dedico todos mis libros; también uso algunas de sus expresiones. Estoy escribiendo un libro con él de protagonista.
Estudié Comunicación Audiovisual y siempre estoy creando historias, tanto escritas como audiovisuales. Lo hago, no porque me apasione, sino porque me apasiona el efecto que crea en ti, lector. Escribo por y para ti.
