José Vergara

From lawyer to web developer to writer, I’ve taken a less-than-traditional path to find my true calling. Along the way, I also traded boxing gloves and kickboxing for salsa and bachata shoes. Now, my days are spent doing what I love most: writing stories and dancing, always striving to improve both mentally and physically. I started out writing non-fiction, and for a brief moment, my book "Double Your Reading Speed in One Evening" climbed to #3 on Kindle Mexico—right behind me at #4 was Harry Potter. That’s a story I hope to tell my grandkids someday! But now, I’ve turned my focus to novels, enjoying the thrill of creating characters and stories that I want to see in the world. You won’t find me writing about cops (we’ve already got Michael Connelly and Jo Nesbo for that), but if you’re looking for a Mafia family set on the Costa del Sol, or an art investigator from southern Spain who occasionally dabbles in the occult, you’ve come to the right place. Born in Málaga, Spain, I’ve lived and worked in Granada, Miami, L.A., London, Qingdao (China), and now Madrid. My curiosity has taken me across the globe, meeting new people, exploring cultures, and always searching for what fulfills me. Today, I’m based between the page and the dance floor, married to a wonderful Venezuelan woman, and father to our non-identical twins, who are half Spanish, half Venezuelan.
