El Gran Premio Literario (Spanish Edition) by Byron Rizzo (Independiente) Price verified 10 hours ago

«Cuando se decidió al ganador del Gran Premio Literario, edición 20XX, nadie podría haber imaginado el escándalo que iba a generar. La naturaleza de su problema no radicaba en algún cotilleo irrelevante, un ego herido venenoso ni jurados bañados en parcialidad, como suele ser lo usual. Sino por las leyendas que circulaban entre la comunidad especializada, el público y su ambiente, acerca de quién recibiría el codiciado galardón. Un nombre confuso, lleno de dudas, representando a su desconocido autor. Tampoco era la primera vez que se entregaba dicha ofrenda de mérito a una persona detrás de un seudónimo. En aquella oportunidad, lo novedoso fue que las malas e informadas lenguas, decían que se trataba de un autor que no estaba vivo. Otros afirmaban que no era una sola persona. O quizás, ni siquiera cuadraba dentro de la raza humana.» Un libro que en otras épocas se hubiera podido considerar ciberpunk o de ciencia ficción, hoy es una perturbadora mirada a los avances tecnológicos que vivimos sin darnos cuenta. Acompaña a un joven periodista en busca de la verdad detrás de los secretos editoriales del Siglo XXI. A través de inteligencias artificiales, escritores colectivos, foros plagados de hackers y desinformación mediática. Cualquier parecido con la realidad, queda al criterio del lector.

Valerie is a mature, energetic, and resourceful woman, with an independent lifestyle her work as a technical writer facilitates. She is a woman who has seen a lot, loved a lot, and cried a lot. As a single woman raising her daughter, she'd had a difficult, long-term relationship, and one Valerie fought hard to put behind her. That man had a hold on her that became a lifelong obsession for both of them. For her in particular, it was quite the rocky road. Try as she might, she was never able to balance the scales. Did all the good times with him outweigh the bad, or was it the reverse? Had he ever intended to give her the life he'd promised her for decades? It was so vitally important to her to be able to give her daughter the life Valerie believed she deserved, with a mother and a father, perhaps a sibling or two, and maybe even a house they could call their own. After many disappointments, Valerie had put that man aside for a while, and filled her life with other highly rewarding experiences with family and friends. Ultimately, however, she couldn't stay away from him. It wasn't until she crossed paths with a man unlike any she'd ever imagined she'd meet that Valerie was finally able to see what she'd been missing for so long. It was love, the way it was supposed to be, not the way she'd experienced it for so long. She was truly happy in this new and fulfilling relationship, just as though it were designed especially for her. Still, letting go of her past was not quite that easy. She had a few more hurdles yet to overcome. This is the story of a woman's determination in the face of insurmountable odds. Her courage, persistence, and creativity, plus the openness of her heart, were all put to the test of a lifetime - nearly her entire lifetime.

I always thought I had the right answer - and hair color -- for any occasion. That is, until Marcia ran up loads of debt and ran out on her husband and kids, and I was left helping to pick up the pieces. Her husband, James, is a lawyer who I hate on principle alone. But for a guy who's just lost his job, his marriage, and his expensive toys, he's keeping it together -- and making me rethink my feelings toward him. It's not that he's traded in his conservative suits for sexy jeans. It's that he's not giving up what's important to him, and oh baby, I'm a sucker for a guy who hangs tough. That doesn't mean I'm ready to step into Marcia's designer shoes now that she's gone AWOL. And it doesn't mean I'm going to fall for James's easy charm... not again, anyhow. Besides, I've had a lifelong policy of not being mistaken for my twin and I'm not backing down on that one now - no matter how convenient it might be for a certain sexy (and persuasive) man...

Matt Brandon has it all -- wealth, power, looks, and talent. Women want him; men want to be like him. When a freak ski accident strips him of one of life's most basic needs -- his sight -- he struggles to accept the possibility that his blindness may be permanent. Enter psychologist Sara Hamilton, a woman who has known her own share of grief and loss and may just be the one person who can help Matt redefine his new world.

She's loved and lost once and has been so emotionally scarred, she's not willing to risk those feelings again. Of course, she's never met a man like Matt Brandon.
