Who I Am

I am a Peruvian-German writer and filmmaker, who divides her time between Germany and Perú. I grew up in Nigeria, Africa. I give spoken word performances in English, German and Spanish at schools, exhibitions, cultural events, etc. I am currently looking for a publisher.

My Works: In 2009, through self-publication, Overripe Fruits: a Garden of Short Stories fluttered out into the world. In 2010, I finished working on two novellas, Qayqa and The Double Closet, for which I am currently looking for a publisher. I am currently working on a third novel: Munay.

I adore works with magic realism and the powerful use of metaphors. My writing concerns the themes: spiritual growth, nature, circus arts, homosexuality, Peruvian cultures, and mystism. Currently, I’m experimenting with weaving Quechua, the language of the Incas, into my narrative. It’s my personal contribution towards keeping the language alive, so I’m curious to see how that goes.
