Unlike most authors, I didn't start writing books when I was five years old. In fact, I’d never been too interested in reading or writing. Hanging out with friends in the small Spanish town where I grew up always seemed more appealing than anything a book could offer.
It took about twenty-seven years and a global financial meltdown for me to discover the magic world of writing. At the time, I was living in New York City, and one morning I discovered I was no longer expected at my sixty-hour-a-week investment banking job. Most of my friends had very demanding jobs, so I spent my days wandering around on my own. Like other unemployed people, I started living through the nights and sleeping through the days. New York is known as the city that never sleeps for a good reason!
