Greetings to my readers and everyone who will be my reader in the future.  I have a new book. This awesome cover is made by Red Cape Publishing.

My thriller suspense is available on amazon:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09GFZPLXH/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i2


The blurb:
Living in different parts of the world, Dijana and Antonio would never meet. Dijana is a journalist who is looking for inspiration for a story. Antonio is a family man, a workaholic. When Dijana comes to Brazil to visit her younger sister, their paths will cross.
The event from the past is hunting him. The act of burglary will wake up his fearful doubts and bitter memories.
A reminiscence on the affair with a woman called Mermaid damaged his reputation.
His family is in danger. Who is hating him so much to want him dead?
Another victim will pay for sins, and whose turn is next?

The review:
Kristina Gallo delivers a tense and fast-moving thriller packed with buried secrets, tangled emotions, and startling twists. When Croatian journalist Dijana travels to Brazil to visit her sister, she’s unexpectedly drawn into the aftermath of a long-unsolved murder—one that unravels a web of deception and past traumas. Emotions run deep, as the reader can feel them with such descriptive language.
The story is filled with suspense and surprise. The plot’s strength and intensity make it a standout. Bold, raw, and full of intrigue—this thriller won’t let you put it down.


I have never been to Brazil, but I dream about it. This book was a way to travel in this country. This happened in the way that I write the story. My characters are Brazilian men and women, everyone has a secret and you will reveal the details.

The book based on true events

  A paperback version is on Amazon.  Genre: Contemporary romance, young adult short novel Place of action: Croatia Alert : based on true story The blurb:   Valentina lives in a small town. The priorities for women are to get marry in twenties.  Fighting with prejudices, Valentina has an open relationship with a local hooligan. The love story will develop in a wrong direction. Valentina will learn important life lessons. The review: Clear, sharp, legible, written in Kristina's recognizable style. An interesting, powerful, instructive story - when an intelligent woman falls in love with a bad man. This is a real-life story that happens to many women. The story shows that intelligent women and common sense are not immune to falling in love with bad men and the thought that they can change them. A love story that is not really a romantic story. Love is one-sided. Love is stronger than reason, but until a moment when everything has changed. Purchase link:  Seduced by...

Should we respond to negative reviews?

Recently I had a discussion in my social media about negative ratings. There was a situation in Goodreads, where I got two negative reviews on my two books. The point was in the way how the ratings were set up. First rating for my book "Body in the waves" was placed under 5-star review from another reviewer. While the reviewer praising my book, the troll came under to say "This is really bad book." Second rating was described as " Poor author needs writing lessons." Both reviews broke standards of reviewing, because there is no visible evidence that book was downloaded in Kindle unlimited or purchased. It was a clear troll act from a new page, without a profile photo and with a nickname. I reported this to Goodreads and they responded me they are processing this. Meanwhile, I heard from other authors that Goodreads failed to do anything about trolling.  In these terms, Goodreads should delete such profiles and forbid the access because of breaking rules.

Swapping books - a devil's deal

  "I will read your book if you read and review mine." This is an example of author's deal when it comes time for reviews. Reviews is hard to get. If you sell books, it is still not guarantee you will get reviews. If I could get a review for every book I sold, it would be great. People will buy book to collect it on the shelves and leave it un-read. Or, they will read but not rate it. Many reasons are for not getting reviews, but some people don't know where and how to write reviews or are not eligible. That is the reason why authors will turn to other authors, with a proposition for review. The danger of such review is on Amazon rules: author can't review other's author books on request. I love to read indie authors and they inspire me, but I have my circle and I never accept offers to read someone I never heard about. Once I got a proposition :" Hey, I saw your review for XX author, can you write it for me, too?" I ignored it. When you have a deal ...
