Lenora
Lenore is a Gothic New Adult novel and it has been published by Rocco, (Rio de Janeiro)one of the most renowned houses in Brazil. It has been purchased by the Brazilian Ministry of education and distributed all over the country to public schools and libraries.
The novel has featured debates at schools, literary foruns, book fairs, always with excellent reviews. Academic essays have also praised the novel as one of the best YA Brazilian novels. Its cinematic rights are currently being negotiated with Rilson Baco production company. Around a year ago, Alisha Rice, a researcher and translator from Illinois University, chose it as the subject of her masters dissertation. She got in touch with me and asked for my permission to study and translate it for academic use. When her work was done, I loved it, and I decided to try and publish the novel abroad.
Summary:
Anonymous confidences about Triaprima, one of Brazil's most successful rock bands in the 70´s are shared on their official site. Secrets about the use of magic, blending celtic and afro brazilian traditions are revealed explaining both the incredible power of their songs and the tragic fate of their members. Triaprima, meaning the perfect union of supernatural forces, was the name chosen by Duda, a Brazilian drummer and composer, Ian, an Irish guitar player and composer living in São Paulo, and the beautiful Lenore, a girl from the beach with a mesmerizing voice. Their meeting at a New Year’s eve party on the turn of the century will become a love triangle as well as a perfect source of new songs and exceptional musical performances.
Rivalry and jealousy will provoke the death of Lenore during a wild performance by the sea. Triaprima’s music becomes legendary, but neither Duda nor Ian will ever be able to go up on stage again.
The second part of the narrative is written by a young girl, also named Lenore, because both her parents loved the band and got together at a party, listening to their songs. She wants to know more about the original Lenore’s secrets because she also wants to become a singer, yet she is afraid she might share the same doomed destiny if she actually decides to follow her path.
When she also finds herself as a part of a love triangle she pursues her investigation even more diligently and end

Cultura acadêmica
To be young in two times - Essay by PHD Brazilian literature professor, Benedito Nunes.
"First of all, Lenora is a book written by an accomplished writer who doesn't emulate being young, but who would rather revisit her own youth in order to create a coming of age narrative. In this sense, Lenora binds two different times, in order to provide a reconciliation with the past, a rite of passage in which maturing is the best way to rejuvenation."
