The love of literature started when I was young, thanks to my beloved father who was good in telling stories.
After supper we used to sit around the fire where he used to tell us a lot of stories. For the love of spared some time to tell us beautiful stories.
I started writing when I was seventeen years old. I first started writing my father’s stories then latter. I started reading book written by local writers: José Craveirinha, Mia Couto, Paulina Chiziane, Luis Bernardo Honwana, Calane da Silva and many others, and international writers like Fernando Pessoa, Pepetela, Jorge Amado, Cecilia Meireles, Sophia de Mello, Luis Vaz de Camões, Eça de Queiros and many others.
