"A hero or a villain

To them it’s black or white

You’re a spectrum of a person

And none of them are right"


Alex's Spilled Ink is a compilation of Alex's poems, divided ​into three parts: heaven, earth and hell.

Heaven. Dip your hands in the warm, crystal water and ​reach for the words at the bottom of the lake. Inspiration. ​Hope. Love. Which will you take?

Earth. Keep your feet on the ground but look up towards the ​sky. What do you see? The moon, the stars, life passing by?

Hell. Fire burns but so does passion. You fight your battles ​and sometimes you lose. Hurt. Pain. Grief. Keep on fighting, ​there's no excuse.





Book

A poetry e-book titled "Alex's Spilled Ink" on ​Amazon Kindle, written under the ​pseudonym Alex Oliveira.







Book Reviews

I wrote honest reviews on Goodreads of advanced reading copies, ​provided by Netgalley and A Novel Take PR

Rewind is more than a book ​about two people who have found ​each other again. It's also a book ​that shines a light on issues such ​as homophobia, biphobia, and on ​how ignorant some of us are ​when it comes to the deaf ​community. (​...)

Ben and Milo's relationship felt ​very realistic to me. Most ​importantly - those characters ​behave like someone their age ​would. An older brother who ​worries and has romantic issues. ​A younger brother who is always ​bickering and has problems that ​teenagers don't want to admit to ​that they have.

It seems the author cherry picked ​philosophical teenagers and put ​them together to create this story, ​making it so darn quotable. It is, ​however, quite relatable to those who ​are also going through the same ​struggles as the main characters.

Are we glorifying ​their crimes, and disrespecting family ​members of victims, by watching ​content that tells these stories? Let’s ​see just how serious society’s ​addiction to crime really is.

This is for those of us trying to get ​their stories out there… If only we ​would actually write them.
