The Author
Hey I'm Cesar

I'm an English Middle School Teacher and I decided to give a shot at my long lasting dream; to become the first human in Mars. Haven't reached that goal yet tho. But in the meantime, I want to share a little bit of my ideas and my imagination with you.

Between teaching, making time with family and friends, procrastinating on almost everything, and having a second job, while also getting married, and look for a place to live with my other half. I somehow manage to squeezed some time to write about my crazyness, bringing us to here, 1276543 ideas, 9 books (1 down), 1 prequel (tbd), and a bunch of hair on the floor later and we have our little universe, which I really hope you get to enjoy as much as I did making it.

"Listen, smile, agree, and then do whatever you were gonna do anyway."

I believe that everyone should be free to decide what they want to be. That's why I'm Batman.

Between Shadows and Desires
Echoes of Her Mistake

The book that started it all. A story of desire wrapped in consequence, where one mistake echoes through every chapter of the life that follows. Two shadows. One city. A secret that rewrites everything.

Gripping, atmospheric, and impossible to put down — this is where the universe of shadows begins.
