José's Journey: From Cuba to the Australian Literary Scene
Born in the vibrant city of La Habana, Cuba, José’s early life was steeped in the rich culture of his homeland until the Cuban revolution of 1959 dramatically changed his trajectory. At the tender age of eleven, José was sent alone to an orphanage in Washington, Georgia, a move that marked the beginning of a challenging yet formative chapter in his life. Despite these early hardships, José’s resilience and determination saw him through high school and into the halls of Georgia State University where he studied Business Administration. His career initially veered towards finance, working with prominent institutions like the First National Bank of Atlanta, before his passion for storytelling led him to the creative realms of writing. Settling in Camden, New South Wales, José immersed himself in a local writers’ group, where he crafted his debut novel and developed his signature character, Danny Monk. Today, José is an esteemed author in Australia, known for his captivating short stories and novels that often draw from his intriguing life experiences. When he’s not weaving tales, José enjoys observing life from the bustling local mall, gathering inspiration for his next great character, or enjoying serene walks with his wife around Camden.
