Hi Renee,
I'm sorry for not having answered in due time. I've been completely off for two years and restarted my activity a couple of months ago. Only now I'm back at Goodreads. Just updated my blog and the books published. Please have a look. I'm still updating my Goodreads' page.

All the best.

THIS MONTH RELEASES

I have released two poetry books this month: one in English (A Lamp and a Gargoyle); the other in Portuguese (Encostas de Lava).

Here are the cover poems:


A LAMP AND A GARGOYLE
