About the author

I was born into a humble family one July back in 1970, to hard-working parents who struggled to raise their three daughters. It was a special day for everyone: I was the first daughter and the first granddaughter, and it filled my grandparents with joy.

I remember a happy childhood in the seventies, playing with my friends in unpaved streets, without the danger of today’s traffic. As a teenager I started writing little stories that helped me dream about boys, real ones or ones taken from the movies.

As I grew up, my passion for writing became more intense. But unlike many girls my age, who kept a diary, I chose short erotic stories.

I was fascinated by the world of sexuality and eroticism, and I loved creating stories that sometimes sprang from the smallest detail of real life.

Writing and I have always gone hand in hand. Since my teens I’ve carried paper and a pen in case an idea comes to me. I admit I’m still a little old-fashioned in these times when everything has gone digital.

Until recently I kept this passion a secret. One day I told a special person who was helping me through a difficult time, and it’s thanks to them that I’m here today, presenting my work. They put me in touch with people who believe in me and support my projects, and with that push I set off on this path.

I still have a long way to go, but enthusiasm and effort will help me move forward a little more every day. I invite you all to walk with me. What do you say?

Presentations and awards

2020

5th Gabriel Maura Award for short stories in Majorcan

I won it with «Es mirall. Tot una aventura». It was presented to me at Sa Fundació in Palma.

I had only been writing in Majorcan for six months, and I entered two stories: «Es mirall», the winner, and «Es lluitador».

My dear friend Carmen Sastre Clemente shared this moment on social media. Thank you, Carmen, for always being there.

“A reflection on second chances and missed opportunities. Through a story with fantastical touches and a mirror as its thread, the author offers us an unexpected journey of overcoming that changes a fate which seemed written forever.”
Gari Durán — historian, doctor (cum laude) in Ancient History and vice-president of Sa Fundació, who chaired the award’s jury.
