author's bibliography

Marcia Gioseffi was born in Rio de Janeiro.

I'm from Rio de Janeiro. I attended the best Catholic schools. And I grew up inside a Candomblé terreiro.

I was raised by my aunt, my foster mother, after my father threw my biological mother out of the house without any right to property. I am a descendant of European immigrants. Italians and Portuguese. And with great pride granddaughter of Nordestino. From the hinterland with distant kinship with Lampião and Maria Bonita.

I almost got married when was young during law school. I have great memories of a fantastic mother-in-law of a great two-year relationship. I am a single mom. I was left pregnant. My ex-boyfriend helped a lot by providing a place in the public network for my daughter. So thank you very much. Great memories of the Méier neighborhood on Rua Dias da Cruz. My ex father-in-law made the best fried sardines in the world.

My family on my father's side lives in the Anchieta neighborhood. My biological mother with the grace of Olorum rebuilt her life and found a good husband and an adopted son. She lives in the city of Armação de Búzios. A warrior who started from scratch after a great betrayal. We don't get along very well, my stepfather and I because of an RPM LP, a classic he threw away. family quarrels. I never saw my daughter's father again. typical like so many other men who run away. disappeared in the world. And after twenty years... Well if it showed up I wouldn't even recognize it. And you don't need to. Twenty years is a long time for a man to learn to speak. I hope that Xangô's justice returns his good harvest of contempt. I strongly believe in the law of return. And certain things are unforgivable. Like abandoning an unborn child because I had thyroid problems. So you don't even have to show your face after twenty years. It didn't matter to me. It wasn't a man, it wasn't responsible or it had character. The DNA test is available, my dear.

I am the granddaughter of a naval officer. I have two fantastic uncles. I currently live in Maricá or in the Magé farm.

I had my daughter alone. I have never been married. I was engaged. At least for a few minutes. Soon after the marriage proposal was accepted, there was no time to put on a ring. My fiance was run over inexplicably on the road in the Praia Linda neighborhood in the city of São Pedro da Aldeia.

I have three brothers. My older brother is dead. It was Professor Caixote. Capoeira teacher. The biggest passion of my life: my nephew Philipe. So a big kiss to Celine, my ex-sister-in-law. And kisses for the youngest puppy.

I have my middle brother, younger than me and a lawyer. Graduated from UFF in Niterói. He lives in Piratininga. He had a terrible accident after the death of our father on the first day off after the burial. He was nearly brain dead. He recovered with much help from Praia Linda residents and prayers from the Assembly staff.

For years I attended the Evangelical Church. Hurt that I was a single mother and the archdioses didn't support me to baptize my daughter. That's why I introduced the girl to the Evangelical Church. I sincerely appreciate all the help and many times I only ate at home because of the Church's help. My brother's recovery after the accident and the separation from his wife were difficult times in the family. The year 2005 was the year in which many deaths occurred. My aunt on my father's side, shortly after the death of my father, who had a heart attack.

Despite the disagreements with him due to the abandonment of my daughter's father who never wanted to know about the girl, even though he knew his life was at risk, I was by his side until death. My passion has always been medicine. At the time I didn't have the necessary score for study by the public network. I wish I had studied veterinary medicine. Good thing I didn't do medicine. First-aid procedures. I sincerely thank my teacher of Educational Biology in the Magisterium course, Ligia at Baptist Shepard College. She saved my daughter's life when she was three days old who had respiratory arrest. I almost saved my father. There was not enough time to call the ambulance with the second heart attack. It was fatal.

I left Rio de Janeiro for lack of work options with a small daughter and a single mother. I worked for years in a telemarketing company. Almost ten years. I have always been an employee of the Claro cell phone company.

Log after my father's death I worked in a family home as a maid and cleaning lady. I'm not ashamed to say. Shame is stealing, lying, deceiving and harming others.

I always wrote. Since young. I participated in the Biennial Book Contest at the age of thirteen. I wrote several books. I never had any encouragement from my father or family to register the copyright of works with the Writers' Union.

I am physically disabled. I wear dentures and my thyroid doesn't work. I worked for almost ten years and was fired without just cause. Until today I have not received the termination of the contractual fine because Caixa Econômica blocked the payment. I was informed that I would receive the anticipation of the birthday withdrawal and the amount of the fine, which unfortunately did not happen.

I currently write on the DREAME platform with some works sold with bonuses. My special thanks to the company where I worked because otherwise I wouldn't even have Unemployment Insurance. It took months to get the entry and it was only possible because of the HR staff at Tel Telemática in the Personal Department that generated a key to withdraw interest from the FGTS. Otherwise, he was probably on the street for service provided at the bank. I made several complaints, opened calls and ombudsman and nothing. Too bad labor rights don't work as they should for those who weren't fired for just cause.

I had amnesia problems due to the tragic deaths that happened. I did treatments at Caps because of memories. Currently, while posting resumes in companies, I dedicate my free time to writing.

So, I've never been married in my life. my fiance died before. May God have Marquinho's soul. I returned to the Candomblé terreiro in 2021. My daughter grew up with difficulties because of her father's abandonment.

God is only one. God I call Olorun. Jesus of Oxalá. I am the daughter of Iansã do Balé and Ogun Beira Mar with great pride. As a friend said. In bad times, we can bend, but bamboo doesn't break.

As a friend used to say: "Who beats paió on the corner, doesn't walk alone..." I attend an incredible terreiro with mainha and Pai de Santo Eduardo. Some losses are deliverances and are the Orixás working.

Eparrey, My mother Oiá.

Ogunhê. Patakoto, my father, Ogun. religion is respected. Same policy.

Saravá and Axé for those who are from Axé. I live in Feira de Santana Bahia.

"Warrior, Iansã is different from the other Orixás for her claw and strength. She was definitely not born to stay at home.

"Oh, but Iansã's son is very quarrelsome!" And they are! Temperamental, they fight and explode over anything.

Sarcastic way of telling acid truths. They are true boxes of surprises.

Visionaries, Iansã's children have no patience for people with retrograde worldviews. They have above average intelligence and can see things that other people cannot.

Professionally, Iansã's children are fighters and independent. They use all their determination, strength and dedication to achieve better positions and build a stable career. They love to command, they were born to be leaders.

We are 8 or 80. If it's not to go crazy with passion, we don't even go down to play.

So if someone falls in love with a child of Iansã, they need to have strong nerves and be safe. It also needs to be tough and not sticky. They like independent partners. They hate it too much and that they take away their freedom."

I almost got married in Bahia. Gratitude. troubled relationship. Drinking, alcoholism and violent temper. I never had any kind of contact again, not even with the family. I wish them good luck. Each in their own corner. I had only one daughter from a frustrated relationship. So I guess forgiving isn't really my strong point. I believe more in the Law of Return. Everyone reaps the evil they sowed in life. So don't complain about the Law of Return.

I love animals. My passion in life. My cat named Chocolate. A little puppy. The cutest thing. All black and with dark eyes. My treasure. I found it on the street. It's huge. Fat and spoiled. I'm single. Widow of the wedding on account of the death of my fiance. I do not have a boyfriend. Free, light .
