Pursue your happiness honestly or follow the mandates of society? Courage or comfort?

Eileen Cardet’s new book “”Urano”” is an intriguing novel about weighing life decisions, taking chances, and living out one’s destiny. A riveting novel that explores the chaos of the world, the temptations of everyday, and the tests of life. It speaks about how a group of friends live their life in a world measured by endless criteria and judgements.

On a personal level, she is a typical middle-aged 25 year old, scattered, friendly and waiting for butterflies again.

La cálida acogida de estas novelas confirmaron la calidad narrativa de Pedro Santana, y lo motivaron a continuar su carrera (encaminada ya por sendas de ferias del libro, varios eventos literarios, e invitaciones a entrevistas), a publicar LA MUERTE DEL COLIBRÍ, su primer libro de cuentos. Otro gran éxito entre amigos, lectores y escritores. En el 2021 pública su última novela, LO QUE EL TIEMPO DEJÓ, la cual logra una mención de honor en el importante concurso literario “Internacional Latino Book Awards”, como mejor novela romántica 2021.

Por estas razones ha sido relativamente fácil para él calar en el gusto de su público, y de los nuevos lectores que suma con cada obra.
