Augusto Meneses

Author, blogger, spin writer, SEO, artist, designer, all rolled in one — that's me! I have a thousand and one ideas that are bursting in my mind and I want to share it with everybody. Hoping and praying that some my dreams, ideas, fantasies and whatnots can make, in a good way, a big difference in one's life. I consider myself, a jack-of-all-trade, whilst trying to make a dent in our world to make it a better place to live in. ​​​​​​​Born in Sta. Cruz, Laguna, Philippines. I've worked for twenty odd years, in 2 leading publishing houses in the Philippines (Vibal and Diwa), as layout artist, illustrator and art director. Somewhere along the line, I established my own Desktop publishing shop, specializing in book layout and design. Not long after, I started writing and producing my own e-magazines. My first book, titled "Kritterland" is all about the world of ants running in parallel to us, and, wheeww, it has been and still is a-work-in-progress for almost 20 years (and running). By then, by offshoot, I started making comic strips out of it (Ants World, Silent Witness, David's Adventure, etc.), and turning it into a humor-fantasy book. ​​​​​​​Finally, I discovered that I have this itch for writing. I started writing in social media sites until I said, what the heck — if I'm this serious in writing, I might as well publish my own books. And thus, the author in me was born. Nope, I'm not a supercalifragilisticexpialidocious author, but just someone who just loves to write. My former boss once told me that I have a talent for writing, so here I am. Of course, and I admit, I have a waaaay lot to learn, when it comes to writing and everything. Ugh! Even my grammar is always faulty. But one thing I'm sure — I write from the heart. Everything I write comes from the goodness of my heart. That's why, I'm a hopeless romantic ergo I like writing romance-comedy stories, especially with kilig-to-the-bones narratives. Although not everybody will admit it, everyone of us are romantic fools. That's why I love to write love stories that will make a profound impact in one's life. ​​​​​​​Uhm, every once in a while, I write non-fiction books, too. But don't hold your breath waiting for a new one. ​​​​​​​Happily, writing and producing my own books has become my happy pill and safe haven.
