The Artist

By




We are particularly honored to announce the publication of The Artist, a Michele Iacono's book (Checkpoint Charlie) originally written in Italian, here translated by the magic keyboard of Giusi Nigro. 
It was a long work in which they participated among others: L.H.Davis, author of The Race, the novel published by Hoffmann & Hoffmann in the recent year 2017 and F. Guzzardi author of the novel in Italian language "26 Days". 

The Artist, is the story of a failed artist painter, who suddenly finds himself, thanks to a series of circumstances, projected into a world made of wealth and sweet living, but also of corruption, greed and perversions at every level.

 
The novel is drawn on the backgrounds of an Italy with numerous artistic and cultural treasures. Suspended between philosophy and raw realism, coexisting with extraordinary lightness, until the drama of existence and its absurd inconsistencies; traveling through the alleys of a sunny and grotesque Naples in a Turin full of youthful memories and to which the author leaks some pearls of memory.
We move from the eternal city to the sweet Tuscany, where the events of the artist painter intertwine with characters on the margins of society and others to the edge of our imagination.

 "What forced the good Samaritan to cede the mantle? He
asked the artist. A top prize is answered, a place close to the
blessed. And the martyrs? An inquisitor, when he tortured
and killed, did not want to affirm goodness, forcing men and
women to deny wickedness and demons? Were they crucified
to assert themselves in their hardened hearts? What greater
gift could make a woman to a man, if you do not have the
goodness to open her thighs to have it put in?"

  The artist can be purchased worldwide at your local bookstore, or in Amazon, Barnes & Nobles, Indigo and in any online bookstore. It can also be ordered directly by the publisher and through "Ingram" distributor for wholesalers and retailers.

Will music interfere or help with writing?

By Nazanin Marzban
      Image Source: Becca Clark Will music interfere or help writing? I used to believe that music would interfere with writing. However, I  later discovered that it actually boosted my creativity. I then began experimenting listening to different genres. To my surprise, any song with no singing in the background helped increase my imagination. I started listening to ambient and movie soundtracks (love, action, drama etc.).  I am now unable to write my stories without listening to some type of music.   One of the benefits of listening to a song while writing is that it can play the role of a writing prompt. When I listen to a soundtrack, the next time that I start playing it, it takes me back to my writing without any effort. If I am  writing a scene that I need to revisit, the same soundtrack will help bring my memory back.  Music can also trigger different emotions within the writer. I find that when  I am working on a tr...

Creating Heroines

By
Heroines are always a complicated subject to tackle. They are similar to villains in that you have to know their back story before you begin. The advantage with most heroines though, is that the whole book is about them. The reader will learn the back story as the book moves along. The same tips and tricks for villains can be used for heroines and even heroes so be sure to read that post first. I think most writers have trouble writing heroines. The tendency is to make them hard and unforgiving. They are written like a man with a few female traits thrown in to remind the reader they are female. A lot of writers forget that they are women first. The heroine may have been raised under the harshest of conditions, but they are still women. They think differently than men. They may be able to shut off emotions, but they are still present and can still cause problems. A good heroine is a woman first and a hero second. It sounds odd I know, because you never think of Wonder Woman cryin...
