Lola Núñez
If I am not teaching children, you will find me editing and writing books for them. I have published some series for 3 to 12 years old children and many stand alone books with different publishing companies. I work on stories which can breed kids’ love for reading and develop their learning skills to live. Friendship, solidarity, respect for differences and the attitude of curiosity are the lines that guide the stories I write. My books show children that goodness is a reflection of intelligence and happiness. So, some of these stories have been chosen in many schools to work values such as friendship, integration, responsibility… I love meeting the readers, talking to them and answering their questions (that is one of the best things of being a writter!). Right now I am writing a novel for adults, located in Sardinia.

Niño Cactus
NiñoCactus sprouted in Salamanca in the spring of 1979. When he was little, he barely liked eating and loved books instead, so his parents promised to exchange a book with him for each kilo he gained. He doesn’t have a clear remembrance of the time they gave up with this, but it was too late anyhow. By then, his mind was full of imaginary characters creating their own world. As he grew older, a southern wind taught him how to play clarinet, and a twister of puppeteers introduced him in the art of ad-libbing smiles. He also learnt how to catch dreams, plow the ground and sail with no compass. Even if there’s a lot of treasures left to be discovered, some of those he has already found out, have been turned into stories.
