OK, so let's get down to business. I started to write when I was 12. First came the poetry (which I'm still churning out to this day). Then came the essays, when I found out about the web and how easy it was to make it a good avenue for self-expression. Later on, I tried short stories... Right now (1999) I am still striving to express myself as best I can, and BABYLON9000 is one of my finest efforts as far as web-design is concerned. (I am an amateur -- and by that I also mean this is an amatory exertion) This website intends to showcase my horror-oriented writing, which I hope 'passers-by' will enjoy.

As it is, my poor talents have always been scattered all over the World Wide Web, and I may add links to my other web-babies in the near future (ONE home-page is not enough for me; having a lot of dissimilar interests, I must find outlets for them all).

What I want right now is what a million others also want: to establish myself as a writer. What sets me apart, however, is that I'm trying to do it by using a language which is NOT my own. For the record, I am Portuguese, born and raised, and still reside in that little country, Portugal (I can hardly wait to get out -- and everyone tells me I should). I've got a knack for languages; why not use it?

BABYLON9000 exists because of my preference for gloom and horror in the arts...
so now you know. In due time, I will post my favorite hyperlinks, and you'll know more about me through my taste for the outr�. The old. The forgotten. The lasting.

With that in mind, enjoy my writing, and in case you've got a job for me, don't forget to drop me a line. I've got a lot of stuff that is just begging to be published.
