CASA IGUANA

Pages: 421 | EPUB, AZW3, PDF

A young woman dies in a hotel at a tropical resort. Her death is linked to a series of mysterious events, including the discovery of an unusual ancient coin. The investigation into this tragedy becomes a journey into a world carefully hidden from prying eyes, where the interests of powerful secret groups intertwine, erased pages of history come alive, and knowledge once meant to remain concealed continues to shape the present. A deeply philosophical novel told through the lens of magical realism, it explores the mysteries and contradictions of our world, raising profound ethical questions against the backdrop of extraordinary events.

The book is available for purchase on Amazon, Kobo, Barnes & Noble, and other marketplaces. You can also buy it directly from this site at a discounted price of $5.99 USD. Your purchase includes three electronic formats: EPUB, AZW3 (Amazon Kindle), and PDF (print-ready). Before purchasing, you are welcome to read the first few chapters for free.

XITONIA. THE FUNDAMENTALS OF TRANSFORMATIVE MAGIC

COMING SOON
SECOND EDITION - IN PROGRESS

A new scientific approach to understanding the mystery of consciousness, humanity’s place in the world, and our connection to the Universe. This book offers an exploratory journey into the hidden powers humans possess, including the potential to extend lifespan, strengthen resistance to illness, and create more rational and resilient social environments. It also examines, from a scientific perspective, the nature of magic and shamanic practices and shows how these traditions can be applied in everyday life.

This book presents the philosophical foundation of the Xitonia doctrine, which not only offers a new way of perceiving the world, but also introduces a new fitness system based on shamanic dances, as well as mental enhancement techniques and practices.

Estimated publication date of the new edition: April 2026.

SHORT STORIES

Short stories are one of the best ways for a writer to reflect on the events happening around us and the challenges that lie ahead, to share personal views and opinions, and to capture snapshots of the lives of people who have left a lasting impression through their actions and character. They also provide a space to experiment with new ideas, explore moral dilemmas, and develop characters before bringing them into a novel or a philosophical work. To me, short stories offer readers a rare opportunity to take a glimpse into a novel while it is still in the making.
