Acerca del autor

Franklin H. Perez’s first short story was published in a New York City literary newspaper in 2009. The story, “The Adventures of the 3&5 Horned Rhino Beetles,” was inspired by Perez’s childhood. He constantly played with these beetles and dreamed that he was like them. He wanted to fly and be strong like them and have super human strength. According to Perez, he found his love for writing for children while growing up in Yaguate. “There, the sweet aroma of sugar cane wafted all over us, bringing a charm and a sense of delirium that we couldn’t resist,” said Perez. His childhood, his son, Sebastian and his many experiences inspire Perez to write from his imagination. Franklin has written 25 children’s books. After earning a B.A. in Liberal Arts from City College (C.U.NY), he has had many odd jobs, including a school family para-professional, licensed real estate professional, driver and a licensed tour guide of New York City. Through these experiences, he became a jack of all trades. More importantly, these experiences enriched his life and inspired him to write more. Though he will always embrace his Yaguatense side, he is a New Yorker at heart, and is currently living in Greater New York. If he’s not working on his latest story, you can find him reading, learning a new language, exploring a new travel destination, watching a television series or imagining flying like his rhino beetles!
