He published the dark fantasy book Espíritos de Gelo (Spirits of Ice) in Latin America and Iberia (in Portugal the work was published by Gailivro[5] – Dom Quixote publisher) and launched the Fios de Prata – Reconstruindo Sandman[6] ("Silver Cords – Rebuilding Sandman") which appeared in a major soap opera.[7]

In 2013 got the 4th place in the best-seller list of Mexico (Random House Mondadori)[8] and the bestseller Brazilian writer Paulo Coelho quoted his name in Frankfurt Book Fair, in Frankfurt am Main, Germany.[9] He signed a trilogy with Rocco[10] where he already published Cemitérios de Dragões (Cemeteries of Dragons)[11] reaching the best-seller list and was the second best-seller book of Rocco Publishers in the São Paulo City Book Fair.[12] He sold a nerdy comedy script for Dama films,[13] owned by Carol Kotscho that is their next movie. After that got signed with the Latin American television network sector giant Rede Globo and was invited to write their next TV Series,[14] Supermax.[15]
