To date, Cliff is penning his fifth novel. His opera prima, The Captive Shadow of Americo Prakak, published in Spanish, has been well-received and garnered good reviews. In his second book, Magenta Obscura by the Cliff, which is his first book written in English, he continues to explore relationships in psychological depth, expounding upon themes of love, devotion and loyalty, but which, ultimately, may not be enough to avoid suffering, loneliness and heartbreak.
