About

Portuguese by birth and nationality, I lived most of my lifetime in my lovely birth city of Lisbon. But though I bring Lisbon and my beautiful home country always deep in my heart, my professional career took me to other cities and countries. I have been spending my life for some years now either travelling or diving into books. Writing for children is source of a enormous personal achievement.

After the publication some years ago of my first children’s book, I created the children’s project www.barry4kids.net that got me involved in various activities in different European countries, namely Belgium, France, Luxembourg, Germany and even Romania.

I followed university courses in the field of science as well as languages and literatures, and I was awarded scholarships twice. I speak six living languages nd write regularly in at least three. A few of my children’s tales and stories were awarded literary prizes in France at European level contests. As I write in more than one language, I therefore have books published in more than one country.

I have two grown-up sons.
