Eyone Williams, author of Secrets Never Die
(DC Bookdiva Publications)
Secrets Never Die is the first of a few novels that I have written that are based on true stories. I pride myself on writing real street fiction and urban tales.
The storyline for Secrets came from a female friend of mine that went through some very trying events in her life where she lost everything close to her and had to find a way to make it, living one day at a time in the D.C. streets.
The main character’s name is Niya, she young, smart, and at some times naïve. However, she finds herself caught up in a world where no one is to be trusted and even the one or two people she thinks she can trust turn out to be questionable. The weight of the world is on her shoulders as she is forced to take care of herself while trying to get her mother out of prison and find the person that murdered her sister.
Over all, this book is about a young girl growing into woman and learning everything the hard way along the way. No one is to be trusted freely.

Paloma Corredor, author of La gestión del yo
(Editorial Círculo rojo)
This is a story of love and self-help.
Three women: Alicia, Violeta and Diana. A man, Jorge. One goal: the pursuit of happiness in these times of obsession with “me”.
It all begins when Alicia, as the heroine created by Lewis Carroll, dives into the bewildering and attractive world of workshops and books about personal growth. A world ruled by the law of attraction, which says that “the secret” to get anything is to desire it ardently, and that the only obstacle in the way is the ego, with its limitations and requirements.
Alicia, tired of her boring life, wants to find happiness within and love without expecting anything in return, as does Violeta. The problem is that both women choose the same man, Jorge. The same one that Diana left years ago to choose a conventional marriage.
But things get complicated when the liberal Violeta tries to seduce Alicia.
Is happiness really a state of mind that does not depend on others?
If true love is unconditional, would you accept that the man you love also loves other women?
Those are the dilemmas faced by Alicia…
