Mea Culpa Oct 29, 2018

by Celerina Avellano

$3.49

At long last...

After sitting in a shoe box inside the closet with four others for almost twenty years, I finally have the courage to publish the second installment in a pentalogy of autobiographical stories about a need and desire so strong it transcends time and death.

Ask yourself:

What are you prepared to give up for freedom? How far are you willing to go to follow your heart's desire? Would you put everything on the line for something that cannot last? Do you have enough courage to challenge the status quo and go against the flow even if it is for the wrong reasons? How important is a family for you? Are you willing to sacrifice them for a moment of madness, for a fleeting glimpse of what could have been?

This story will question everything you believe in and more…

The Two of Us Oct 28, 2018

by Celerina Avellano

$3.49

This is the third installment of five autobiographical books I have written more than twenty years ago and hid in a shoe box inside a closet. Time is running out and I want it to be out there before it's too late.

January 15, 2000. Michael is on the verge of becoming a man and meeting the love of his life and future wife. But life is never been that straight forward and seldom obstacle free. The woman he set his eyes on is not only married with two kids, she is also his teacher. Can Michael bridge the gap of age, education, background and social status between them? Can true love really conquer all?

This book is a collection of true to life short stories of real people, tales of ordinary individuals like you and me. There is no dramatization or special effects added to the narratives to make it more compelling. I tell them how it is. I serve them to you raw, with no embellishment, without trimmings. If you find yourself having trouble believing some of it; remember, reality is stranger than fiction…

Open Wounds Nov 10, 2016

by Celerina Avellano

$2.99

They say the worst wounds, the deadliest of them, aren’t the ones people see on the outside. They’re the ones that make us bleed internally. It reminds me of what J.K. Rowling once said, that some wounds run too deep for the healing. True, but I want to do something about mine; I can’t nurse them forever and continue bleeding so, I followed Oprah’s example. She said: “Turn your wounds into wisdom.”

What I did was gathered all the poems I have been writing for the last two years, bundle them into a book and published my first anthology of poetry. They are about pain, longing, desires, dreams, hope, life and love done in a variety of formats.

Here is an example:

Graffiti:

Out in the open
Here I am you can judge me
Scrutinize my quirks
Nothing to hide look closely
My life = a complex graffiti

The house across the street Sep 24, 2016

by Celerina Avellano

$3.99

What if everything you believe in turns out to be nothing but lies? What if everything you hold dear is nothing but a figment of your own imagination? What if the love that you thought was for keeps doesn't exist at all? What if you don't know anymore whom you can trust including your own self? What if you begin doubting everyone, everything, even your own sanity? What if your almost perfect world suddenly crumbles around you and there is no one you can turn to?

When R.M. came home one day from school and found out that the house across the street wasn't anymore for sale he thought: Finally, a new neighbor. He never suspected that the seemingly simple and ordinary occurrence would start a series of events that will change the core of his existence and will have a great impact on his future. For R. M. life was about to change that day and not for the better...

The first book in a pentalogy of semi-autobiographical/fantasy series about a need and desire so strong it transcends time and death. Each book in this series can stand alone and can be read in any order.

"Five is dignity with a trailing robe; whereas one, or two, or three acts would be short skirts, and degrading." -George Meredith

"Five acts the play must have, nor more nor less,
To keep the stage and have a marked success." -Horace
