One thing every independent author knows is how darn hard it is to go from idea to writing to publishing, all on our own. Whenever any non-writer says, oh I could totally write a book, I have to imagine they’re not aware of all the snags that come with the territory — writer’s block, the lack of time, the sleepless nights, the urge to edit as you write, the pain that is the formatting, the marketing… which one can only put up with when the passion for the art is bigger than the desire for the money.  That’s why it’s a BIG deal for me whenever I finish any piece of work.

Dante Casanova is a short story that had been in the works for some time and I finally finished it! As an indie author, it is one of the greatest feelings to see your work come to fruition; to see people from random parts of the world pick up your book and actually read it. That is so special. It inspires and motivate me to create more and BETTER. Grateful for the support.

The book is available on Amazon, iBooks, and most reading devices! I don’t believe it falls under one specific genre; it’s brief prose — a little contemporary romance, a little drama, and a little women’s fiction. You might like it! As I’ve said before, every writer has a story; every story has a reader. I hope you enjoy it. (Read book description below.)

When recent college graduate Adriana Ruffo realizes that her professional and love life are not going as planned, she declares it ‘a catastrophe’ and decides that, for once, it is time to let her hair down. She meets Dante — a popular young visual artist living in Los Angeles — on a night out in New York City and the two hit it off.

Adriana’s beauty and personality captivate Dante from the start — and now he has to have her at any cost.

For Adriana, the strong attraction, she soon accepts, is mutual. But she’s being held back by a past experience — an undissolved breakup. Pressured by her best friend, Adriana considers proceeding with caution, but her plan backfires when she discovers Dante has a questionable reputation.

They tell us to be careful with our words because they cut deeper than a knife. But without our permission to be powerful, do words really have any meaning? ‘Daddy’ may have a sweet connection to many people, but to others it may be bitter as gall. In this relatable brief story, the narrator tells us about the struggles of growing up with a single mother and reconnecting with a father who was never present.

Quotes from the book: “It is one of those weird mysteries of life, that when you’re not looking for something that’s when you find it. I didn’t seek love, but one day, there was this open path leading to it and, without hesitation, I took it. And when I got there, it was beautiful and I felt…jazzed. Life suddenly made sense. Someone warned me that it was like a highly addictive drug, and I said to myself, ‘I think I want to be high.'”

This short book is about that “boobless” life in America; stories of how society shames small-breasted women and perpetuates the belief that when it comes to our chest, bigger is best. This is a message of support and empowerment, reminding all women that they’re more than their breasts — and that they can certainly look like a star in their own “flat” chest.

Convinced by the praise she receives from family and strangers, a young woman decides to attend model castings to test her luck. One of them leads to what she believes could be her big break, but what she encounters instead is a fraudulent scheme. This a story of deception, crushed dreams, shameless crooks — and a lesson to be learned.
