Charlie Monte
Novels & Short Stories
You already know
Life is full of exciting moments. Some spark our curiosity. Others keep us on the edge of our seats. And some change everything.
These are the moments when the line between good and evil begins to blur, when corruption lies closer than a new dawn, and hatred grows stronger than love has ever been.
They are the moments when the devil's wings stir the air, fear becomes our closest companion, and one person's courage turns them into a hero.
Not all of these stories end happily. But every one of them is about the precious time we are given in life - filled with greed for money and power, violence and passion, guilt and redemption, yet also forgiveness and love.
These are the stories Charlie Monte tells.
