About Jakob Viñas
Jakob Viñas is a Spanish orchestra conductor, cellist, and writer trained at conservatories in Spain and Germany. His artistic career spans orchestral conducting, chamber music performance, and composition. For Goddesses and Demons, he composed and performed an original soundtrack on solo cello — making this, to our knowledge, the only novel published with a full musical companion created by its own author.
His literary sensibility was forged through a lifetime of devoted reading across centuries, languages, and traditions — from the classics to contemporary speculative fiction. Goddesses and Demons is his debut novel and the first installment of a planned saga.
