Hi there!

I’m Kaoseto, an indie Franco-Spanish fantasy writer. I live in the Basque Country. I’m fully dedicated to my writing ever since I finished, in 2014, my essay about the romantic Spanish poet José Zorrilla. I love telling stories that, hopefully, make the readers dream :)
Since I was a kid, I have always been a literature and fantasy fan: even before knowing the alphabet, I would spend hours imitating writing. Kids have strange habits! In my teens, I have been strongly influenced by reading works of authors such as Tolkien, Robin Hobb, Sean Russel, and Salvatore. Thanks to all of them, I began writing my first sagas, either in French or Spanish, but they remained unfinished, and it was only with the Cycle of Shaedra that I finally decided to share my stories. Since then, I have published several series.
I support the free culture and free software: that is why all my stories are published under a free license (free as in freedom). In 2021, I created the Kaosfantasy project, dedicated to my libre writing.
I’m an anime and manga fan! One Piece, Barakamon, Serei no moribito, Samurai Champloo, Natsume Yuujinchou, Sanzoku no Musume Ronja, Ore no Monogatari, Hoozuki no Reitetsu, Chihayafuru, Nichijou… and a lot more!
I’ve also read a lot of fantasy korean manhwas, specially the stories that take place in the Murim world, which heavily influenced my writing of Zangsa.
Librely from my keyboard,
