    About this ebook

    The Author by Raquel Pagno
    Evil will always heed the callings.
    Simas Sigmund is about to release his first book: My Demon. Encouraged by his wife, Margaret, he eventually persuaded himself to resume the old dream of youth.
    But being the author of a book full of demonic invocations causes him an unexplained discomfort and an ominous shiver every time he has to face his own work.
    Not only the nervousness of the debut, Simas suffers from nightmares where his demon blackmails him and threatens the people he loves. Everything seems to be nothing more than a mere joke played on his unhealthy mind, until the nightmares become real.
    The devil needs a full life, and only the pen that put him to sleep forever in the last pages of the novel can bring him back.

      Mar 29, 2017

      This week marks the 73rd anniversary of the time Astrid Lindgren, mother of two, fell down and sprained her ankle and decided well, why not spend the time she was laid up writing down the stories she’d been telling her ten-year-old daughter? It was i

      May 11, 2018

      A few years ago, in a moment of white-hot inspiration, I wrote the climactic scene of a book I had only half finished. The novel is a love story, and at that point, one of the few things I knew about how it would end was that one of the characters wo
