Author Bio
Juan Sebastian Cornet Arce for as long as he can remember, his passion for stories and love/hate relationships with his imagination have been a constant in his life. Still, not until he watched “Pink Floyd: The Wall” did he try his hand at writing. After five years of mind-numbing schooling, penning embarrassing “novels” that boasted far more adjectives than characters, parental conflicts, hopping on trains all across Europe, rewriting the same novels to resemble actual literature, jealously reading his favorite writers, going to college in a foreign country, telling society to find some other fool to mold, and falling in love with girls that either lived on the other side of the Atlantic, stood him up, or were engaged to be married, he believes he is ready to try his luck at becoming famous.
