Dante XXIII

Awakened in the future

Imagine being cryopreserved and waking up two hundred years later. What would you feel? What would the world you find yourself in be like?

  • About me...

    I was born one cold November in Madrid. And I have northern blood from my parents and grandparents. That's why I have always felt attracted to the Celtic and Viking mythologies. Their culture, their music. That inspired me to write my first novel before joining the university to study Geological Sciences at the Complutense University of Madrid (UCM).

    I attended various writing workshops, and narrative and novel planning courses taught by authors such as Arturo Pérez-Reverte, Clara Peñalver, and Rosa Montero, among others.

    I was always interested in drawing and writing and loved manga and anime. I have always enjoyed drawing, inventing characters, and creating stories around them. This led me to create a video game with other 3 friends, I made the characters and animations, and participated in the script of the point-and-click graphic adventures "Legend of Badminton" and "Badmintown Fair".

    I love science fiction, cyberpunk, horror, vampire stories, and medieval historical fantasy.

    I emigrated to Ireland and later to Germany where I currently work and live.

  • Inspiring Novelist and Writer
    • My first novel is Donde mora la bestia (Where the Beast Dwells), which blends historical fantasy with Celtic mythology and is set in 15th-century Scotland. It was published in 2016 by the Seleer publishing house; in 2021 it was reissued by Caligrama, including sheets and drawings of characters made by myself, and obtained the Talent Seal.
    • Also, in 2021 I published my Poemario: Vivir, Sentir, Morir in audiobook format (Spanish), with fantasy as the predominant genre.
    • In 2022 I published my second novel, Saol Eile, a psychological horror thriller in which the lives of various characters are intertwined, and different topics are dealt with, such as reincarnation and past lives.
    •  Also, this year, I published my first book of short stories Sueños del más allá: Relatos Cortos (Drems of the Beyond Short Stories) within the horror, fantasy, and science fiction genres.
    • In 2023 I published Dante XXIII a cyberpunk dystopia.

    All these books have been translated into English and are available in Spanish and English on Amazon and other platforms.

    I started sharing my writing knowledge and experiences on my YouTube channel Mi Biblioteca Oscura, also, I created my first online writing course "Convierte tus ideas en tu novela terminada" to help others to write their works.

  • What am I doing lately?
    • Scriptwriter for an audiovisual project: Being part of The Circle of 13 is part of my first audiovisual project collaborating in the creative part with the director and producer Giuseppe Giacri in a project that will be developed into a series of 13 chapters of the mystery, suspense, and horror genre.
    • Collective writing: I also participated with other writers in the writing of several collective writing books with different themes: fantasy, paranormal, autobiography, and awareness-raising on animal adoption, against mistreatment and abandonment.
  • Citizen of the World

    The experience of living and working abroad - first in Ireland and now in Germany - is allowing me to meet people and cultures from all over the world. It enriches me as a person. It helps my creativity.
