About the author
Carlos Galinho Pires was born in 1987, he shared his childhood and teenhood between the city of Guarda and the village of Vale de Estrela. He currently lives in Porto. At school, his favorite Portuguese language exercise was composition, which he used to tame his fertile imagination. However, it is only later, in college, that his restless creativity manifests itself, when he is encouraged by his colleagues to write regularly in a comedy blog. Increasingly fond of the art of writing, it is after attending a course of creative writing that he discovers that he cannot live without it, and starts writing fiction stories regularly. Since then, this software engineer by profession has never stopped, having, until then, published 3 books and participated in numerous other anthologies as a co-author.
