I’m the author of My Father the Yakuza, published by Kurohana Books and translated into Portuguese and Spanish. Before turning to fiction, I built a career in civil engineering and later in the audiovisual world—working across film, television, and advertising on projects around the globe. Somewhere between structure and story, I became more interested in what breaks people than in what holds them together.
My writing blends cinematic precision with a raw, visual sensibility—drawn to the psychology of identity and the quiet violence of choice, the moment a person crosses a line and the silence that follows. My favourite film is Se7en. I’m obsessive about coffee—usually a Kenyan espresso, or a V60 Geisha from Peru when I have time to slow down.
I’m currently at work on Four Women in the River, the second novel in the Emily Watson Series—returning to the same world, digging deeper into the consequences that place the reader between the legacy of blood and the burden of truth.
