books & novels
As a storyteller, books are another passion of mine! My first story was published in the anthology "O Último Dia antes do Fim do Mundo" (The Last Day until the End of the World) by Novo Século. I also self-published on Amazon KDP the young adult series Magia das Sereias (Mermaid Magic). The first two novels are available for purchase in Portuguese, and the final book is under development.
YOUNG ADULT NOVELS:
BOOK 1 of MERMAID MAGIC series. The first 7 chapters are available in Portuguese on Wattpad. You can buy the full novel on e-book on Amazon!
​
SYNOPSIS:
Celine is 15 and in love with Gabriel, the hottest surfer in her high school. Unfortunately, his attention is totally on Bruna, a popular girl whose life purpose is to make Celine miserable.
When Celine is forced to spend school break at her crazy aunt's house, she finds a weird flipper that, when in contact with sea water, gives her a mermaid tail!
Where did this magic flipper come from? And why is it in the middle of her deceised grandmother belongings??
What is worse, Celine soon discovers she is not the only mermaid hiding in the beaches of Rio de Janeiro...
Diving into a whole new world underwater, Celine gets the help of her new half-girl, half-fish friend and learns how to use her mermaid charm on Gabriel.
Between love triangles and mermaid adventures, Celine uncovers a deep secret about her past and her family.
BOOK 2 of MERMAID MAGIC series. The first 6 chapters are available in Portuguese on Wattpad. You can buy the full novel on e-book in Amazon!
​
SYNOPSIS:
Celine learned her lesson with Gabriel. She will value herself more and not let a boy determine her worth. After finally getting over her old crush with the help of her girlfriends Dani and Serena, Celine is slowly discovering her feelings for Taikun, her best friend and body-guard.
Things could be easier if she wasn't expected to spend all summer underwater on the mermaid kingdom of Rio de Janeiro, receiving the royal family of Amaranto from the Northern Seas.
How on earth will she spend that much time in the water without raising suspicion from family and friends? Who should she tell her secret to? Why is prince Roy giving her so much attention?
And most importantly, how do you know if what you feel is true love?
More mermaid secrets come to the surface as Celine grows up and gets even more involved in the mysteries of the ocean.
SHORT STORIES:
My first text published was the short story "Lillies for Antoinette". Together with other 11 authors, the publisher Novo Seculo compiled a collection of stories about the end of the world.
