I have been writing andcomposing since the day that I created a prelude, composing some notes(which I still have recorded on my brain) on a small piano toy at theage of three. But I first put my two feet at the theatre, playing theflute to a big audience at Mackenzie Institute, when I was seven yearsold. Since then I fell in love with the performing world. Then Igraduated in Arts in 1990 with license in Artistic Education at theUniversity FAAP in Sao Paulo. I started my career at an early age,performing in the Opera Carmina Burana at the Opera House in SaoPaulo, also dancing for the Young Ballet of Sao Paulo, at TheNutcracker for the Metropolitan Ballet Theatre in Washington D.C. I started to write andillustrate my poetic books and fictions when I was nine, just toentertain myself but I always dreamed of making other kids enjoy mycreations as well. When I was eleven years old I created a series ofcomic books, which I still keep on my hometown treasure island ofSantos in Brazil. Since then, I wrote novels for adults based upon mylife and Picture Books and Nursery Rhymes for children. I wrote poemsand short-stories for an anthology by Mackenzie Publishing (1984). Iillustrated the cover of the magazine Magia in 1990 (Editora Ondas). Mypoems were published on the National Literary Magazine "Mirante"(sept/2006) and on the ezine Aphelion (July/2007). One of my stories ispart of the anthology Spiritual Visitations by Zumaya Publications and I recently published "Life is Too Short...Make it a Big Shot" by Devine Destines. My writings can also be found on another anthology"A Thousand Voices" by Adventures Books of Seattle.

There, God claims her and lays a trail of miracles that lead her from her native England to a new husband of faith in Atlantic Canada. <br />Though she is upfront about her ending, you’ll find yourself longing to learn the next step in her discovery of new love and deeper faith journey. This is one of those books you just can’t put down. Potentially, you’ll be following the twists and turns of her journey into the wee small hours. <br />‘A mysterious rug with a life-changing message, a Ruth-type love story, fascinating interactions with other believers, poetic descriptions of landscapes many native Canadians take for granted—and a message of God’s love and salvation,’ writes critic Margaret Welwood. ‘Bobbie Ann Cole’s story is a little too strange and untidy to be fiction. As a true story, it will leave you satisfied, yet wanting to know more.’ <br />‘Often times, life will take us to the end of our rope, leaving us helpless and at our wit’s end. Yet, even in such dire situations, our God is not helpless. He will bring in plentiful harvest – a harvest of renewal, hope, joy and happiness in our life,’ says Khamneithang Vaiphei. ‘She Does Not Fear the Snow is an incredible testimony that will have a profound impact on you.’ <br />If mystery, romance, women’s faith issues, the Jewish roots of Christianity, Christian living or outreach appeal to you, you will find much to enjoy.</div><div> </div></div>
There's always a story behind a story. This one in particular was inspired by a boy I once knew in my infancy, and his name was Roy. He was actually my brother's best friend, and basically an important person in my life as well, for he was not only smart, but he showed me, without saying a word, that it was cool to go to school and that we can learn so much more when we befriend people like him, who used his intelligence and yet was so humble to not overlook anyone and maintain his love of studying as much as of playing.
