The Ring Of The Witch: The Curse Of Apollo' was a project that originated in social media back in August of 2016. I wrote and released the original story through unedited chapters week after week in one of the most famous social networks - getting thousands of views each week (as well as hundreds of comments). The commercial edition of the story was published on May 12th, 2017 after a successful campaign on a publishing-focused crowd-funding platform, and it's available through a worldwide network of 39,000 booksellers, online retailers, and libraries.
The story is much more than just a modern adaptation of mythological characters living among us... or a frenetic search of four items that would create chaos for humanity if reunited. Through its characters and their dialogues, I intended since day one to deeply explore some of the key cultural values and social stereotypes we experience every day in one way or another. That required an intensity beyond narrative prose, and that was the primary reason the book was not written as a traditional novel, but in a style that resembles more a stage script (in order to better immerse you in the center of the story). I also integrated several spiritual and transcendent aspects of the human experience within the framework of modern psychology.
A big thanks to all the fans that followed the original story, and to the ones that just discovered it. It's an honor and privilege for me to have the opportunity to share with you the first book of a planned trilogy. In partnership with Seven Hearts Publishing, LLC (SevenHeartsPublishing.com), and their "Sette Cuori Press" Division, it will be translated in multiple languages, and the audiobook will be reaching Audible, Amazon, and iTunes by August of 2017. It will also be participating in Industry-Recognized awards, such as the '"Reader Views" Literary Choice Awards', and the '"IPPY" Independent Publisher Book Awards'. Welcome to 'The Ring Of The Witch: The Curse Of Apollo'. The ring is calling...

[I've been here before... This darkness... The trees at each side of the narrow path, making a tunnel with their branches... A giant raised pond full of water hyacinths floating on it... A rusty '53 Bel Air frame covered by undergrowth... Where am I?... Wait! Something moved!!! For God's sake! That thing moved!! It's... a... woman... Her face looks... gaunt... She looks like... a witch... Is she dying? Oh, my God, Is that a...? Does she have a wedding dress? It is almost disintegrated by time... I can still see the silk sleeves with the crystal elements. She still has the tiara and veil... She has a dead bouquet, a pearl bracelet, and a turquoise handkerchief in her hands. She looks... familiar... Her fingers are so thin... Is that thing glowing... a wedding ring? I've never seen anything like that before... I feel the urgency to... touch it... I don't know how to explain it... I need to touch it... Touch... it...
WHAT THE!!!!!! - The witch sat down in an unexpected violent movement. He fell down, and started screaming, trying desperately to run away from that place - falling down over and over with total lack of coordination. The witch was shaking uncontrollably, screaming repeatedly in an unsupportable high pitch..."VAHN!" "DAH!" "KORA!" "VAHN!" "DAH!" "KORAAA!!" "KORAAAAA!!!!"]
