Autor: Joaquin Renero

Joaquin Renero was born to Gabriel Renero Lara and Olga Mejia Gonzalez on April 19, 1983 in La Paz, Mexico. He was the youngest of four siblings. As a young man his passion for writing started when he began writing articles for his state newspaper “El Sudcaliforniano” (The Southern Californian), where his work was very well received. While in boarding school and high school he published poems in the Kiski“s literary and art magazine “Springs.” Joaquin was so impassioned about writing he would start short novels at home, bring them to school and polish them and try to put out a best seller by recess. One of his favorite books was The Little Prince. Much of his writing has the same air of the fantastic and magical that Antoine de Saint-Exupery’s writing had. As an ESL Student in America he became fascinated with American Literature among which were The Catcher in the Rye by J. D. Salinger and To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, which inspired him to write his first novel in Spanish, Lejos de Casa (Away from Home), which is soon to be published in his native country of Mexico. He graduated with a B.A. degree in Business Administration from the San Diego Christian College, and is currently pursuing his Masters in Professional Counseling through Grand Canyon University when not busy writing. Though his passion for expressing his inner struggles and philosophy in the form of creative writing is strong; it has also carried over into his writing the music and lyrics to hundreds of songs over the intervening years.

To date he has completed and is in the process of publishing two major works in English, Christmas Colors and The Enchanted Scrapbook. Mr. Renero now resides in Phoenix, Arizona.
