Sinossi

"Days and Nights in Cape Town" by Yena Marukeda is a truly captivating and unique piece of fiction. The author's genuine writing style draws readers into a world of unusual love story. The protagonist, Paul, explores the idea that life does not offer second chances. Despite experiencing moments of despair, he finds himself waiting for a miraculous change that never comes, silently carrying the weight of his unfulfilled desires. However, everything changes when he encounters Martha on the Atlantic coast. Both were screwed up by fate, losing years within life routine. Even the previous much-loved surrounds are an affront, a reminder of the days not lived, the experiences missed. Martha, with her realistic outlook, plans for a future that promises stability and prosperity, lest they wither away like flowers in an autumn field.
Yena Marukeda skillfully blends adventure, mysticism, and philosophy in a synesthetic style, creating a truly immersive reading experience. The author, though relatively unknown, has garnered much attention and discussion. Behind the piles of books, we discover a delicate soul urging us to break free from the constraints of tradition and embrace a life a new. There is a palpable sense that adhering to the principles of previous generations leads to a life of poverty and the possibility of dying alone at a young age. Yena Marukeda is an author who gravitates towards the unknown, preferring to remain on the enigmatic bookshelf. While the author may not aim to charm readers, their literary heroes possess an otherworldly flame in their eyes, making them all the more intriguing. Yena Marukeda continues to refine his talent, shielding their eyes from the literary critics. This enigmatic dreamer chooses to hide behind a pen name, which adding to the air of mystery that surrounds them.

Ruby Steele Cozy Mystery Bundle:...

Mia Gold

A bundle of books #1 (ON THE ROCKS) and #2 (EXTRA DIRTY) in Mia Gold’s Ruby Steele cozy mystery series. This bundle offers books one and two in one convenient file.

In ON THE ROCKS (Book #1), Ruby Steele, 30, beautiful, fit, seems just like any other ex-pat hiding out in the Bahamas and playing local bartender. But unruly patrons find out the hard way: Ruby is a mixed-martial-arts pro, and not one you’d want to cross. In fact, Ruby would be a champion if she hadn’t been forced to walk away and hide out in the Bahamas. Because Ruby knows too much. She knows where the bodies are buried. And she knows when it’s time to get out of town. But what Ruby doesn’t know is why there is a dead tourist in the dumpster behind her seedy bar. Or why, she, of all people, had to find it. Or why this guy was out at 3am when he had a pretty fiancé waiting in a hotel room a mile away. Or why the local cops are pinning her. Or why she’s gonna be forced into a choice: find the killer, or do hard time herself. For Ruby, good choices have never been her strong point. And this one’s definitely not going to be good…

In EXTRA DIRTY (Book #2), a 40-something female tourist seeks out Ruby, desperate for her help. She was out partying all night with her friend, both of them drinking way too much and doing things they don’t want their husbands to know about. The problem is, as of 12 hours ago, her friend is missing. Their husbands can’t know. The cops can’t know. She needs Ruby’s help. And she’s running out of time. Ruby, though, has enough problems of her own. Shadowy figures from her old life are getting close. Way too close. Can Ruby really play detective and take on someone else’s problems? Who is this woman, anyway? And what isn’t she telling her? Ruby can’t keep away from a bad decision. And this time, it looks like, won’t be any exception….

Welcome to the Bahamian world of Ruby Steele, replete with her local dive bar, her wily pet monkey, her major drinking problem, her (way) too many fights, her inability to get herself out of trouble, and her fists made of stone. Ruby’s life is a complete wreck. But there’s one thing she’s good at: capturing your heart. THE RUBY STEELE MYSTERY SERIES is a page-turning mystery/thriller series, one that will linger with you long after the last page is read.

Book #3 in the series (FULL-BODIED) is now also available.
