    Reading is my passion since my childhood. I started to write young and I was loving it. When I had my first computer I could write for hours non stop. Later, very late, I learnt English and then started to love that language and I started to make traductions. I still read alot and my favorites books are erotica and fantasy. I do love writing erotic short stories. Now I write and self-edit my books, under the pseudonyme of “Drakinan”, and then sell them. I think that litterature should not be put aside of our lives and also because reading is my passion. Everyone should read a little story once a day. The stress goes away and peace of mind come back.

As it was known that they were to have great fortunes, several eminent merchants made their addresses to them; but the two eldest said
