Hello! here is a little introduction of myself.

My name is Carlos Herrera, I am a novelist, poet and an eternal romantic since I am aware that love is the cure for this sick world, my novels, for now, are seeking to explore my creativity in classical vampirism but they try to expose the romance and it does not have to be a cliché that contradicts the nature of the immortal being. I have a novel already published, another very close to being published and many others in development.

I'm a devotee of the love that I feel for my companion, wife, girlfriend, friend, flaming soul, stellar soul, goddess of my eternity, my beloved, my everything. I found her again in my life fourteen years ago and now it is the need of my existence.

I am fortunate to be in the care of two cats and a dog, which for me, left behind the concept of pets and adopted their place in my heart as relatives.

I grew up under the love and care of my mother and with the constant presence of my father, who belonged for more than twenty-five years to Capital district's fire department, I never lacked love from any of them, his greatest legacy for me were the moral principles that they instilled me.

I also had the opportunity to be raised by a wonderful being, my maternal grandmother, who also published a book of stories, but unfortunately, it could not be marketed for sale to the public (for now). With great pride, my grandmother very excitedly boasted of my ability to read and understand reading thanks to her; homework was always supervised for her, it was tedious at times, she was imposing and authoritarian, but I would give everything to return to those days, because she did it with the best of intentions and love.

At an early age I began to imagine characters and search a necessary complexity of finding logic in their existence, after generating a more developed consciousness, I met with friends who had a great talent for drawing, talent that I did not develop (at least in this timeline) and in front of them, I exposed my ability to imagine and create characters for comics, many projects were lost, but the ability to argue characters and stories remain.

From the seemingly mediocre jobs in which I worked, I learned a lot, especially the social aspect of contact with the public and colleagues, it helped me a lot to understand the different personalities that individuals develop throughout their day to day, I analyzed the pattern of survival in each one of them, and I grew individually, although at the time I did not notice it.

As a kid, I always had a sensitivity to paranormal phenomena, what at that time I think was fear, it was nothing more than the awakening of the mediumship that I did not know I had then, which, as usual, aroused my parent's restlessness. For no child is easy to live with the fear of the unknown.
After many attempts to control mediumship, I submerged in religious dogmas, which anchored me to the dependence of wanting to learn from them and exploit them. I discovered that this mediumship did not need to be controlled, much less exploited, I just had to learn to live with it; in those days of experience, I met my spiritual guide, who helped me a lot with orientation, promote my own freedom away from dogmas, and also teach me to know myself deeply.

In my future posts, you will find poetry, romance, spiritual reflections, and experiences related to my very complicated life learning, I hope to get followers who love these topics, I would like to make poetry the way that inspires to dream, and also touch those people, who lived situations similar to mine and can sincerely find if we are crazy, or just see if I'm just a poet who wept in the wind and dried his tears in the apparent loneliness that took him away from a world that was crazier than me.

Thank you for reading me, and we'll see you next time!
