The Shout of the Phoenix is the dramatic unraveling suspense story of Angel, a bisexual man who from the initial frame, dies. Before his death he was a sexual addict who had it all, fame, power, lovers, prestige, and the expectation of a massive inheritance. After his death, and upon being given a second chance at life he ultimately looses it all, falls from grace, encounters powerful opponents and adverse difficulties that ultimately force him to undergo an internal as well as an external spiritual journey that takes place in New York, India, Africa, and Greece. Along the way and as a result of his tragic accident and traumatic HIV diagnosis, he fails to remember a very key piece of this intricate puzzle, whose answers lie on a mysterious book which slowly unravels a big reveal for a story that goes back and forward between the present, past and future. Mixed with the search of his true love, posing philosophical questions with the surrounding of beautiful scenarios, and in conjunction with his best friend Kathleen's similar fate, everything comes full circle in the poetic finale.

In one swift movement of my hand I reached behind Sapphire's neck and released her hair from the low ponytail it was in. She gasped at my action and looked at me with feverish eyes. I thought I saw the colour gold flicker in her eyes, for a few seconds before I lifted my hand near her face and tucked a strand of her wavy hair behind her ear, before I said: "I fell in love with you, the first second I saw you reading that Tolstoy book in the library." She looked up at me, her warm beige skin looked like it was glowing now and she said with pure sincerity in her eyes "per sempre, in ogni dimensione, per sempre in ogni vita, solo tu fino al mio ultimo respiro amore mio" It meant (Forever, in every dimension, forever in every life, only you until my last breath, my love) I snaked my hands around her waist and pulled her close to me. Before kissing her the way I wanted to all this time, i looked into her eyes and said "Me too my love, me too." My first novel is about soulmates. And reincarnation. About, how many bodies a soul has to live in before they finally become their true selves. And before they finally get to be with their soulmate. It's about how love has so many faces. It's about how we never know what roads life will force us to cross. And what emotions we will be gifted to feel. And the things we're blessed with that sometimes we neglect. It's about giving yourself the time to grow and evolve before you give yourself to someone completely. And it's about not to take the love you have in your life for granted.

Highest rank #3 on whodidit on 11/05/18 "Life is a flight of Icarus, if you fly high; you burn, if you fly low you sink. Staying away from both ice and fire is near impossible. Decide what you're going to do, since you're already inside the labyrinth. Either; you can fly with me, I'll give you the wings of wax and feathers or you can wait here for the death to come. Ah, anyways I promise you no better chance at living, but at least, you'll die a free soul, isn't that better? Don't look at me like that, as if you read more than there is written, as if you can see beyond my face or beneath my eyes...no, stay away, there is no need to come closer. I feel nothing! I don't want to feel anything! Why do you laugh? What's funny? You don't believe I'm a monster? Fine, your problem; don't tell me I didn't warn you before. Leave; run; hide; whatever! Just don't break my walls. It hurts to feel again, it hurts to cool off...I like burning, I like fire, just stay away, stay safe. What have you done to me? You were my ace, my pawn, my weapon, why am I suddenly acting like your shield? Break this charm, break it right now... The last thing I want is to fall in love! Don't forget...not for a moment, that you're Icarus and I am your sun. Stay away, stay safe!" "A thing is not necessarily true because a man dies for it" Oscar Wilde A woman convicted for murdering her love... A man forsaken by his family.... Both with dark pasts, broken hearts and bitter souls, thrown together in to a battle of wits, egos, hearts and desires... Will they end up saving each other or dueling to death? After all life is a flight of Icarus, a moment of lost balance, a moment of ignorance is all between destiny and death. Cover credits to @lucky03m

Dialogue with Death

5 parts Ongoing Mature

How often do we confront the sobering reality that tomorrow is not guaranteed, that each breath could be our last? What thoughts will flood our consciousness in those final, fleeting moments? Whose faces will flash before our eyes? The inescapable nature of mortality often haunts our sleepless nights, a reminder of our fragile existence.In this narrative, we embark on a journey through the lives of diverse individuals, each offering a unique lens through which we view life's pivotal moments. These characters serve as mirrors, reflecting facets of our own humanity and underscoring the urgency of chasing our dreams, living without the burden of regret, and embracing each day as if it were our last.As we navigate these stories, we are challenged to consider: When we engage in our final dialogue with Death, will we be able to meet its gaze with a serene smile, confident that we have lived a life true to ourselves? This exploration invites readers to contemplate their own mortality not with fear, but as a catalyst for living more fully, more authentically, and with unwavering purpose.
