About the author

Antonio was called to write at various times in his life. When he was young the writing consisted of plays and short stories. Then he explored the fine arts and literature, earning a bachelor’s degree in the latter while minoring in art history.
In his studies he was fascinating by and enjoyed analyzing characters, their personalities and motivations. To him it’s always been the characters that make a story special.
Once again writing has taken hold of him. In the past it was just an amusement, but now—for Antonio—writing is a passion to live, eat, and breathe.
