I'm an award-winning writer from the National Writer’s Association and studied at Florida International University with Creative Writing Director/Author Les Standiford. I am the author of “Jane” a collection of short stories, “Beyond The Thinking Mind” a book of sutra-like writings for the soul, and “The Black School” a successful underground Magic and Mentalism instructional tome for the trade.
My short novel “Someone, Somewhere, Some Other Time”, is a tale based on true events in my life; dealing mostly with relationships, it is a story for those who’ve lost faith in finding that special someone. A shift takes place ... and hope is introduced.
This book has been optioned to be made into a film.
I was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, but grew up in California, Maryland and Texas. A frequent traveler, I currently live and write in Miami, Florida with my daughter Paulina and our three cats, Prince, Harry, and Kwai Chang Caine.
To your enemy, forgiveness. To an opponent, tolerance. To a friend, your heart. To a customer, service. To all, charity. To every child, a good example. To yourself, respect
What is Christmas? It is tenderness for the past, courage for the present, hope for the future. It is a fervent wish that every cup may overflow with blessings rich and eternal, and that every path may lead to peace.
Happy Holidays my dear friend. May you have love that never ends, lots of money and lots of friends. Health be yours, whatever you do and may God send many blessings to you. XOXOXOXO
I’m rather excited because I have a small part in an upcoming film based on Steve Aylett’s book LINT. Remember how “Spinal Tap” was a spoof on Heavy Metal bands and “The Ruttles” was a take-off on The Beatles? Now, Science Fiction has LINT!
Here’s wishing you a fantastic day filled with fabulous friendships, fanciful festivities, and frolicking phantom footstools.
I was wondering if you'd do me the honor of checking out one of my short stories, which you can read online for free at my officially official website. I'd love to hear what you think.

"I will not die an unlived life. I will not live in fear of falling or catching fire. I choose to inhabit my days, to allow my living to open me, to make me less afraid, more accessible, to loosen my heart until it becomes a wing, a torch, a promise. I choose to risk my significance; to live so that which came to me as seed goes to the next as blossom and that which came to me as blossom, goes on as fruit. ~~~ Dawna Markova
O Great Spirit, whose Voice I hear in the Winds, Hear me -- for I am small and weak: I need Your Strength and Wisdom. I seek Strength, O Great One, not to be superior to my Brothers -- But to conquer my greatest enemy: Myself. I seek Wisdom: the Lessons You have hidden In every Leaf and Rock so that I may learn And carry these messages of Life and Hope to my People. May my hands respect the many beautiful things You have made; May my ears be sharp - to hear Your voice. May I always walk in Your beauty; And let my eyes behold the red and purple Sunset So that when Life fades with the setting Sun, My Spirit will come to You without shame.
HAPPY NEW YEAR MY DEAR DEAR FRIEND!!!! 2008 WILL BE FULL OF JOY, LOVE, PEACE AND ABUNDANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!"
