THE HUNT FOR DESDEMONA ( Missing Variables Ch.7)
"Open your books to page 288." That's how Marika's senior year began at Pellico High on that Wednesday morning, with a critique of bourgeois economics and the problematics of alienation. First period: PHILOSOPHY!... An icy shower after the warm summer!



"Vendramini!" The teacher tried to get her attention, while Gloria poked her from behind to wake her up. "Hey, Marika!" Once again she would be sitting behind her for an entire year. "You awake?" The teacher raised his eyes to the heavens, resigned and puffing out his cheeks. "Vendramini, would you please begin reading from page 296?"
"Yes." Marika hurriedly flipped through the pages of her book. "OK, I found it."
"About time," the teacher said, bored and impatient and thumping his fingers against his desk. "Come on now, don't be shy!"
"For Marx, unlike Hegel and Feuerbach, alienation was a concrete fact of a socio-economic nature, which can only be overcome by...." And while her eyes scrolled through the philosophy book, the only image that occupied her mind was that of Matteo living it up at the beach with a steady diet of B-grade television actresses and movie extras, drinking fruit-flavored cocktails straight from their opened lips." [from Ch.17 ECLIPSED HEARTS]


Let's go back to Ch. 7, after Mardi Gras...

My Independence Day!

«I'll be forever grateful to the United States of America for giving me a chance to do something good in my life. My native country has never given me one, you did.
That's what makes your country great. I can't thank you enough.»

The magnificent setting of Missing Variables (The Rook Café #1) is one of these vacation destinations for book-lovers ✪‿✪

We’re all crooked lines.
“That’s why He is able to write on us; otherwise the history of the world would just be a bunch of blank pages of an unwritten book.”

Absolutely heartbreaking day after attack against ALL of Humanity.
Pray For Orlando



Excerpt from Missing Variables
«Marika walked up the short path with a single thought in her head: Eve is still Eve, and nothing could ever change that. “Hey!” She sat down next to her.
“Hey.” Eve couldn’t even look her in the face, as if she were guilty of something. “He told you.”
“Yeah.”
“And so?” she sighed.
“So what?” Marika rocked back and forth, gently knocking against her.
“And so now you’ll run off, or in the best of hypotheses you’ll just avoid me like I had some kind of disease.” Her voice sounded bitter and desperate.
“I’ll do nothing of the sort.” She felt deeply saddened by the thought of the frustrations and disappointments that her friend must have lived through over the years. “This doesn’t change anything for me.”
“But you aren’t in love with me.”
“I care so much about you, really!” Marika hugged her, though Eve’s arms hung limp at her sides. “But we can’t have any more scenes like this.” She laid her head on Eve’s shoulder. “Because even if I didn’t love Matteo with my whole being, and I wasn’t so confused about the bond between me and Federico, I would still have to follow my own nature. Which is exactly what you are doing.”
“What do you see in those neanderthals, anyway?” She raised her head.
“What can I say?” She shrugged. “They’re hot!”
They burst into laughter and began making fun of one another, until Eve made a bitter observation. “Did you notice where we’re sitting?” She slapped the palm of her hand against the stone steps of the little church. “I’m a heretic... I shouldn’t even be here.”
“Don’t be ridiculous!” Marika stood up and looked her sternly in the eyes. “Heresy is a man-made creation.” Created by ignorance and fear of things people don’t understand. It has nothing to do with God! “You know, He loves you, just the same way that He loves me.” She sat down on her heels in front of Eve. “Maybe He even loves you a little bit more.” Because she still needed Him in order to survive in this decadent world.
Tears had blurred their vision by the time Federico reached them. “It is said that God knows how to write straight even on crooked lines.” He smiled, hugging them both to him.
“Are you calling me a crooked line, you poser?” Eve gave him the finger.
“We’re all crooked lines,” he whispered, embracing her tenderly. “That’s why He is able to write on us; otherwise the history of the world would just be a bunch of blank pages of an unwritten book.”»

YES, I actually do have a sequel for my very first book:) I can finally announce that The Rook Café series is a duology!

Marika and Matteo's story will be continuing in "Love Equation" ( title revealed for "Missing Variables" book sequel! )



They deserve to know whether their love will stand the test of time and Serie A.
I'm working on it now! Stay tuned for details about the second and last book in the series! I can't wait for you to read it.
