As an independent author publishing through my own imprint, Black Trumpet Press, I've built this book from the ground up.

I think readers who are tired of safe thrillers will find something here that doesn't pull its punches.”

“Carlo Levare (ok, a little weird writing in 3rd person) writes books because talking to himself in public is “frowned upon.” Indie author, professional overthinker, and part‑time philosopher of grocery store checkout lines. Powered by dark humor, lukewarm coffee, and the belief that every life crisis deserves at least one punchline.

When he’s not revising sentences that were perfectly fine the first twelve times, he’s wandering Colorado pretending it’s “research.” Known for turning everyday disasters into literary therapy and insisting that deadlines are merely “suggestions with attitude.”

Carlo’s stories blend heart, grit, and the kind of honesty that makes relatives shift uncomfortably at holidays. His readers laugh, cry, and occasionally text him “are you okay,” which he considers a rave review.”
― Carlo Levare, Counting the Days of Our Lives
