The moment of the final verdict arrives for Carmen Mola. Will she follow the path of success or will her followers abandon her once her three-headedness is already discovered? Or…, on the contrary, will all the noise created by the origin or not of the three authors behind the pseudonym in…
Ireland entrusts its summer to a Gulf Stream capable of reaching those British latitudes, like a strange marine spectrum, with much more pleasant temperatures than any other region in the area. But make no mistake, that Irish summer also has its dark side among the inexhaustible greenery of …
There comes a time when the writer's creativity is unleashed. to the good of Lorenzo Silva gives him the opportunity to present novelties of historical fiction, essays, crime novels and other memorable collaborative works such as his latest four-handed novels with Noemi Trujillo.
