*Mommy, I am a PACER! Book by #MOI because I believe that children are the future, the change…
Yesterday, I lost my cousin to COVID, he lost the battle, although I told him to hold strong, not to let go… yet, he lost! & I am crying now, have been crying since, and Oh Lord, I cannot stop! As I was standing out on my balcony, staring at the skies, waving him to fly safely to eternal life, I started wondering why was I crying so much… I know his departure made me sad, broke my heart, the call to his mom devastated me, a die solo thought ate me alive, his wife and kids alone while us not able to hug them, be with them, and stand by them, made me feel as if I was betraying him, yet, it was more… Thinking about the COVID patients, sleeping alone, living the fear alone, the pain, the anxiety, the solitude, makes me wonder, how are they feeling? Am I scared? Am I worried? Am I anxious? Well, I guess it is all of the above; I know I am, and I know I am sad for my cousin, for all those losing the battle for #covid… My heart has always been with you, but I guess now I know better how you feel! Dear cousin, our angel in heaven, you shall be missed, and instead of crying your death, I will try and remember your smile, and celebrate your life among us… Until we meet again!

*Mommy, I am a PACER! Book by #MOI because I believe that children are the future, the change…
“What does it take to please a woman? Well, I tell, out of the experience, it is easier than one could think! Age is important, and relevant to the need, but we all want the same thing. Probably, there is a priority, acts that come one after the other, but basically, it’s always the same package.
A man approached me via Facebook messenger. Usually, when I receive a friend request, I check how long he has been on social media, his posts, whether he has extreme affiliations and statuses, I try to understand his character from his posts, whether he ever posted real photos or has a famous person as his own photo, I try to see whether he has men among his friends or whether he is collecting women, I check the comments on his posts and common friends, and if he passes, I accept the friendship request with my policy of innocent until proven guilty and reservation in communication! I usually do not extend to phone communication but after few attempts, having common friends, I decided to speak to him. Hello, Hello… Of course, he was married, with the version of living under the same roof, different rooms, still together for the sake of the children. I am not yet giving you my opinion on that, I am simply reporting facts. When I knew and directly guessed he was married, I pulled back; of course, he was complimenting me for being a strong woman, beautiful, and how much he admires my posts… to me, the conversation ended when I guessed he was married. He tried to push the conversation talking about me, so I told him, you appreciate strong woman, does that mean you are going to answer and accept my words, his answer was yes! so I started, you know, I wish you invest the time while talking to me on your wife, instead of wasting it on a stranger! Marriage is a business investment in the family you dreamed about, and as you have expectations from your wife, she does too. He answered offensively, I come home tired, with a lot on my mind, bla bla, and she is not there to… I said to what? he wanted to take the conversation in the intimate direction thinking he would intimidate me, so I asked when was the last time you offered your wife a flower, he answered I always do on Mother’s Day, because the woman is first and last a mother, I treat her as I treat my mother; I stopped him, I said you have an intimate relationship with your wife, your respect her motherhood, but you have to treat her as a woman… He cut the conversation, made the mistake of admitting the flower was one of the fights they argued about, and then when I told him that many times the couple forget they are husband and wife, and they need to work on each other to keep the sparkle of passion alive, he claimed he received a visitor and hung up!
To say no more, relationships are an investment, and it is up to the couple to make them succeed. I am not saying there are no blocked endings, I am saying if one wants to invest in love, the partner has the priority! This topic is a long debate, that comes in different versions, but this was one out of many!” #MOI when it comes to love, invest in passion!

· Book Synopsis: In the context of poverty, particularly, when you live among people who lack basic needs, your voice is broken. It is broken because of crying day in and day out. However, in those crying intervals, there are also intervals of laughter and jokes. The famished people have time for love. They bear children who bring joy among them. That is the irony of life. I find myself in that context. The symbols of land, flames, nothingness and humanity run across this collection, reflecting the richness, the vagueness and the variety of life. The life of those lost in poverty yet struggling to survive and live.
In my attempt to find a voice, I have discovered that my voice is broken. And any attempts to gather the fragments together have proven to be futile. This is, therefore, a collection of my cries… Broken. That is why it is titled Fragments of my Broken Voice. The poems have been divided into five thematic chapters: cries of anguish, mating cries, cries of laughter, celestial cries and cries of sorrows. Come, join me in crying for we are a people who are born crying and are escorted to the grave with cries. Crying is our living. Crying is our survival.

“Badiaa, what’s on your mind? as Facebook says. Let me whisper the truth, and confidentially. Yesterday morning, I woke up wanting to spend the day in bed, under loads of heavy covers pinning me down… No it wasn’t the cozy mood, it was rather the I am tired and disgusted mood. Did you ever feel the same? I felt really anxious, empty, and not oriented. My friends were expecting me to get up and cheer them up, they expected me to boost their day as I usually do, but truth be said, I had to take a day off. A while after, I got myself together, to the kitchen actually where I fixed myself an omelet, I had my coffee, and sat by the window, on a chair, in the corner, talking… to myself! Dear #MOI, thank you for understanding me today, thank you for listening to me during my low-end days, and thank you for understanding my solitude! & suddenly, life flashed back, to the days where I was surrounded by a crowd but alone on the inside, the days I promised myself that I might be alone but will never be lonely, & suddenly, again, I gained my energy remembering, I am alone by choice, situational because of COVID-19, but deep in my heart I am not lonely!” #MOI Did you ever feel the same? #Cheerup, You are not alone!

“The working, mom… Good morning Mommies, what a great feeling! Today is my youngest birthday, she is turning 26! No longer young I guess, but I feel selfish thinking about myself on this day, what can I say!
To begin with, let me tell you, according to many around me, they all say I have done a great job raising my daughters, they turned out… I am simply not mentioning how they turned out, although I am very proud of their achievements, both, today, I like to discuss, #MOI, the working mom.
Seriously, being a woman, a mom, a working mom, is not easy! & please note that I have super, great respect for the 24-hours non-working moms, I believe they are on non-break, no-relief time, they are on an ongoing mission.
To me, work was not negotiable, whether I needed it for financial security or not, I loved working, I loved the early wake up to go to work, I loved the stressful day, and since I can remember, I used to work, as a workaholic! As well, having a family and being a mom has always been a priority and a dream that I would never let go of. So, my life, my life on the go, my life during the ups and downs of marriage, my life at work, and my life as a mom… they rolled like a roller coaster with no regret to any. A marriage that gave me two daughters… A marriage that ended up with a divorce… A career where I succeeded, a career that I have developed, a true pride to me, but was not the favor of my marriage partner… Was it among the leads to the divorce, probably, but when I evaluated the situation, especially that it was not one of the elements I would jeopardize, I had to keep it as one of the basic entities towards my future.
As a working woman, I learned to that I needed to stand in a skirt but feel that I am wearing a suit, I learned not to fear the suits around me, and not allow them to intimidate me, I learned to stand my grounds… but wait, isn’t this what a woman should do at home, with her husband, and as a mom… probably not all I said applies to you all, but many men try to intimidate women at home and at the work field, many try to say the first and last word, and many try to overpower women simply for the purpose of gender inequality, and, while this, to me, shows great inferiority! As a woman, I love strong women, I love when a woman shows sparkling spirit in the society, I love when a woman shows strength and confidence, to me it means she is well supported emotionally, she is seen with a bold eye, respected, and loved. As a mom, whether working or not, the respect to this person is immense. No words can ever describe this person’s life. It is not about a line of duty, it is rather about what this person thinks starting when bearing their child, the fear she has to outcome during sickness, child’s emotional malaise, during growing phases, love and unhappy phases, and during every day I guess, I tell you, talking about the load of men in uniform, this person is wearing a uniform called motherhood!
So, connecting those together to reach the working woman, and dissociating them to the initial starting point, the woman, I salute you every step of the way, I salute the giving spirit, I salute the fighting spirit you have in the work field and as a mom, the spirit you raise in the children, the leaders of tomorrow, I salute your smile despite the worry, and the ongoing strength despite what is happening inside your life, and mainly…. hear this, hear me clearly, I SALUTE THE MAN THAT DARES TO STAND BY YOU, BE THE POWER BEHIND YOU, AND SHADOW YOU!
#MOI Cheers to you all!

Book Synopsis:
El juego de los errores is the fourth book published by this author and it brings together the first stories, the first stories, that he has written since 1987 and they are not related to each other since each text is independent of the other. What are they about? They are narratives that are born from life experiences, where the author moves away from poetry, uses aspects of reality typical of journalism to arrive at the narrative and fictionalizes in a plot that belongs to a possible world. Says the author “I took the title of one of the stories, to represent the book. It is a rare title, meaning it is not found in other books often.
The new book by the Latin American writer Antonio Rolando Arenas is already on Barnes & Noble “El juego de los errores” with its main narrative successes “Un error en Borges”, “No creas en Natalia”, “Un periodista sin trabajo” in which narrates the vicissitudes of the newspaper HOY, “Otra vez sangre”, “El diario de una villa” with which he won the Ana María Agüero Melnyczuk Prize for Research – 2014, and that merit made him realize this book. Also in: Apple Books, Rakuten Kobo, Scribd, bol, Mondadori Stores and Smashwords.
What would you like to say to the readers, a word from the heart.
I am very excited about the result of this book because I have managed to enter the different online bookstores that promote my book through Google. I have access to different interviews in which I can express my feelings, my intentions and my experience as a prominent author with a career that goes beyond the city where I live. I am reaching readers from other countries and I find satisfaction in projecting myself with my book written in Spanish. I know that there are readers who expect my literature in English, so I share here the narrative “ON THE STEP”.
Antonio Rolando Arenas(ALL REPORTED BY THE AUTHOR)
“Sharing a personal moment… Pretend you have a magic wand, what will you do?
“You might be looking at me, the background, you might be trying to read what’s written on the mug… let me share with you something, I just opened Facebook to see this picture popping up in the memories among others, but all I could look at was this picture, and all I could see is the hand holding the mug, & remembering my feelings that morning!”
“Good morning today Good morning whichever day Are you ready to end the week, or Are you ready to start the weekend? The days correlate one after the other The news duplicate from one country to the other Number of people infected with the virus, to Number of people we lost to the virus, to Number of people suffering from the virus, to Number of people who survived the virus… Are we becoming a number, Do we still have an identity?
My heart is aching Aching for a paused life A life we learned to value A company we learned to cherish A hug, a kiss, a hand to hold
My heart is aching Missing getting dressed to work in an office Missing putting lipstick and not smudging it under the mask Missing shaking guests’ hands Missing… your smile
My heart is aching Aching for those exiting this world alone Aching for those isolated with the virus alone Aching for those no one can near Without protective clothing, masks, gloves, and shield My heart is aching, for you my dear”
My heart is aching Aching for the frontline health workers Aching for YOU, those transporting the VIRUS Aching for YOU, those caring for the VIRUS Aching for YOU, those treating the VIRUS The VIRUS, my heart stands by you dear patient You might be lonely, and physically alone, but hope you hear WE STAND BY YOU, KEEP HOPE FLOATING, FIGHT, FIGHT FIGHT As for YOU frontline health workers, YOU ARE MY HEROES! God bless you all and your loved ones! Keep safe, Keep distance, Keep sane! #MOI
