The only important thing for Robert Salvatore is writing. Rock criticism. To an audience of eleven followers - ten, excluding himself.
Moreover, he takes a parked routine. Feels bored at work, but is content with low income. Pushes a discouraged relationship with Valentina. And at thirty, still lives with his mother.
An adultery takes Salvatore from automatic. He questions the world has created for himself. Reinvent his life in the Lollapalooza festival can be the solution.
In the company of insane friends and with his ex-girlfriend on the trail, he goes for a break away. Looking just the frenzy, chronicling the experiences on his blog, 'The Tyranny of contingency'. Beyond a text with soundtrack, Salvatore search from the music an essay about what chance brings.
Amid the journey he faces important choices. The type of decision that forges an adult and reflects throughout life.
A story about relationship and affirmation. Narrative that speaks of dreams and emotions of those who live in twenty-first century, capturing the sound of the great festivals.
"Upbeat mood. Friends together, waiting for a great afternoon of madness. Within hours, the lights will shine the stage. The granulated sky hangs above the crazy and happy crowd. Somehow, being here makes us feel alive, a point outside the daily sultriness. A burst of sound energy and psychotropic substances.
Experiencing a festival is more than seeing a succession of good and bad bands. It is a fraternity of people doing what they love: listen to rock and burst eardrums. Scream choruses, punch the air and play imaginary guitar solos.
Something the next day is just steam in memory. One thing we can't explain what it is for, but keep going.

Robert Salvatore"

A Vegas Mishap (#2)
I stared at the person sitting on the chair in front of me. That instant I realised that I didn't know this person at all. This was not the person I have been living with. This person just looked like that person. There was nothing same except the looks. The pose, the expression, the emotions in the voice, nothing matched. I couldn't believe that it is the same person. "Doesn't mean anything?" I asked with a low voice as anger filled me. "Yes, it was only a Vegas Mishap." ********************************************************************************** When Ophelia Russo traveled from Italy to the United States, she had no idea what was going to happen to her. Wanting to forget all her worries and the stress of managing a fast growing business, one night she finds herself in a bar in Las Vegas, and in the company of the very handsome businessman, Ethan Welsh, who himself is on a vacation for a break from his womanizing life in Greece. Two hot people, one lively night in Vegas and a few drinks down, what do you expect to happen? No, no. If it was just a one night stand that had happened, it wouldn't have been this bad. What had actually happened was no less than the worst nightmare for Ethan and Ophelia. Suddenly, it becomes more than just a vacation for the Italian girl and the Greek man when they wake up married to each other. What follows is a love story, you think? It's a messed-up destiny, I bet. After all, it can't be just A Vegas Mishap. ************************************************************************************************** Warning: Contains mature scenes and swearing.

Waves - Book #2 [completed]
Mason 🎸 My life's in shambles. Okay, that's a little dramatic considering that my band broke up. But I don't know what to do with my future, my career and my life going forward. So I do the only reasonable thing and run as far as I can go - to Australia. Nobody here knows (or cares) how famous I am. Especially Riley doesn't care. She doesn't even like me and has no problem telling me how much she thinks I suck. Riley 🌊 He's the most arrogant person I've met in a long time. Demanding, entitled and conceited. Charming and pretty too. Urgh. Mutual friends force us to spent time together again and again. I just can't escape him. I don't want him and I don't need him, yet he's the constant dripping that will wear away the stones I've put around my heart for a good reason. ~~~ Waves is a "we don't like each other"-to-lovers book with a strong-minded female lead who has to learn to allow feelings again, and a cocky and witty (maybe unlikeable at first) male lead with a failed rockstar attitude. But I promise he's sweet underneath it all. 18+ ONLY (strong language, sexual content, swearing etc.) Trigger Warnings (may contain spoilers): 🚩loss of a loved one 🚩mentions of drugs ~~~ I'll try to update twice a week, but without a schedule this time. I may throw in a couple extra chapters here and there depending on how writing goes. Love, Izzy 🌿Complete

My Girl
Cal Jackson's new life as a rockstar fails to account for one thing: the existence of the girl he loves. ***** "What are you thinking about?" she asks. "A song," I say. "A new song."

"You're destined to be someone big, Cal." "Really?" "Yeah." ***** She's perfect in every way. Beautiful. Smart. Her bright future is right there in front of her eyes. While here I am. Ruined.

Manic Crush (Book #1 Crush Series)
Every girl has 'that' crush. You know what I'm talking about. The one boy who's the first thought on your mind when you wake up, and the last thought before you go to sleep. The one you carefully select your clothes for, don your best makeup, and style your hair perfectly for. I had 'that' crush. Brock was hot; he was sexy and alpha, with dark smoldering eyes and tattoos that littered his rock-hard body. My poor seventeen-year-old heart had no clue how to handle it, because my badass crush wasn't a boy. He was a man; a nightclub owning married man, who also happened to be my best friend's stepdad. I wasn't the only one who was crushing on Emma's stepdad. He knew it too, but the best part about Brock was that he looked like a badass, he acted like a badass, but he treated every single teenage girl in his home with the utmost respect. He had plenty of admirers, but Emma hated anyone who flaunted their shit in front of him. He'd taken her dad's place. He'd moved in not two months after she'd lost him and had tried to 'parent' her. We hated him together; but secretly I adored him. I spent almost three years in a hoodie, scowling at the hottest man in L.A. The day he left Emma's mom was the happiest and saddest day of my life. If you're going to lose your crush, though, ripping it off like a band-aid is the best way to do it. One day he was there and the next he was gone. And now, seven years later, I'm about to walk into his nightclub and audition for him. He's not the man I remember. He's sexier, more intense, and has connections that are not exactly as wholesome as I assumed. But that only makes me want him more....Complete
The Impossibilities of Us
"What are these feelings you're talking about?!" he questions still yelling. "That I fucking like you, Daniella Jamie Grey!" I yell. "And I fucking like you too, Arabella May Jhonson!" he yells back. And the next thing I know is that we're no longer yelling. I hadn't even noticed that we went closer and closer to each other until I felt his breath on my lips and his nose nuzzling against mine as he bent to my level, his body towering over mine. I pull him to me and smash my lips onto his and it barely took a second for him to respond to it. ~~~~~ Arabella Jhonson and Daniel Grey unite. How they met each other, you may ask? They met each other because Arabella's cousin and Daniel's father are dating. There's definitely a spark when they met and the spark began to grow as they hung out with each other day by day, especially since they'll be living under the same roof for a little more than three weeks. Oh and not to mention that Daniel lives in Australia, away from Arabella, and he's only come to visit. But that's when the impossibilities come in to play. For one, aren't they technically going to be related if her cousin and Daniel's dad get married? And not only for that reason, but many other reasons that will be revealed as the story progresses. This'll be a story about two teens who go through struggles and a romance between them that seems more than likely to be impossible. Not only do other people get in the way of this romance, but their minds as well. Their minds that remind them why they can't work. And their minds that have their own fears. But can their romance find a way through it all? Or will it all just fall apart? Warning: Contains strong languageComplete
Cacophony
Sydney didn't have much, but that was fine with her. She didn't need much. Growing up on the Washington coast in a lonely beach town, working quietly behind the scenes was what she was good at. Living on the beach was much less glamorous than most people imagine. Her home was a beat up old Winnebago that she had shared with her father until he passed. Her father had been a detached parent. He loved his daughter of course, but he was by no means an affectionate man. She had grown up fending for herself, working backstage at a bar that hosted live bands using a fake ID. After the death of her father she saw an ad for a guitar technician for a local Seattle band. A love of rock and roll had been the one thing that her and her dad had in common. Selling everything that she didn't need she packed up her pickup truck and travelled north to the city, leaving the sleepy town in her rear view mirror. She didn't expect to embark on what would become the adventure of a lifetime. For someone who had hardly left the town she grew up in, the opportunity to get paid to travel the country and listen to great music was a dream come true. The band became her family, and life on the road was a perfect fit for her. Chris Cornell instantly became Sydney's best friend in the whole world. They were in love, that was plain as day to anyone who paid attention. Yet, sometimes love isn't as simple as it should be. Sometimes, love hurts.
