<Sturmfrei> (German) The freedom of not being watched by a parent or a superior; being alone at a place and having the ability to do what you want. ~~~ Veronica Marble, wasn't the nerd that needs to be saved, nor the smartest kid that stupid ones bully. She was in the middle of these with high grades, good friendships and full of kindness towards people. The only thing she hates? Disrespectful people. She likes school, playing some instruments randomly, and making jokes that only she laughs at. She has an unstoppable desire to travel and see the world's beauties. Asher Joyes, wasn't the bad boy that girls drool over, nor the football player who is famous. He was the guy who's bestfriends with the football team but doesn't play football. He was a bit arrogant sometimes but most of the time he was full of humor and playfullness. He loved playing the guitar and learning new languages. He would search for languages to learn, when he's bored. His grades weren't that bright but teachers would like him because he was talented both in art and linguistic areas. When the school decides to have a world tour and picks two of its students. What odds are Veronica and Asher come together? Well, life is full of surprises and faith just made their paths cross.

Fun and a bit of sex mixed with travels and introspection. That is "She Kills". This novel was supposed to be the sequel of "Abat-Jour", my novel published by Inknbeans in 2015, that was about four guys and a series of trips to Spain in the summer of 2001 to provide a slice of life of a generation, mixed with irony, surreal meetings and a good dose of introspection. For those (all of you guys, I guess!) who didn't read "Abat-Jour": the story starts from the end: Daniele, the main character, has just come home from the last journey. As he rests on his bed, he looks back on what happened in his life in the last few months, inspired by shadows and things in his room. What comes out, in the shape of this journey, is a search for answers to questions of an entire generation. The narrator, Daniele, takes the reader jumping forward and back in months and years, collecting emotions and memories with a musical trace of U2's songs, always present. Everything finds its own place, eventually, in the puzzle of Daniele's memory illuminated in his Abat-Jour.. "She Kills" is also a fiction novel with 58.000 words estimated. It's about what happened to them from 2001 to 2015. I could say there's a mix of fiction and a true story in both of them. They're full of irony and weird situations but they mainly represent a generation between what it was before and after a critical age (the attacks of 9/11 represent a big divide). They were thirty years old but not ready to become men yet. The main character has a lover and a love story that changes him a lot in both novels. In the first one the girl was Eva, a Spanish girl who seems to be more than a summer story. The novel shows how bad things can go when you don't wanna grow up. In the sequel, there's a German woman named Ele who will bring Lele almost to craziness. At the end, despite all the weird, dramatic and funny situations, Lele realizes that there's no more time to waste in silly relationships in the worst possible way.
