Miami, FL – Indie writer Jorge E. Goyanes continues his compelling storytelling with his third entry in the Jose Castillo mystery series, Florida Crossing. Set against the backdrop of South Florida, the novel follows the main character, Jose Castillo, on a thrilling adventure across multiple Florida locales, including Palm Beach, Tampa, Sanibel Island, and the Everglades. Goyanes, whose distinctive writing style has made him a notable figure in the indie author scene, captures the essence of the region, blending humor, suspense, and a rich narrative full of twists and turns.
The story follows private investigator Jose Castillo, who, while solving a murder, works alongside his best friend, Metro-Dade Homicide Detective Nate Devine, to track down an escaped killer. Along the way, they are forced to contend with a serial killer hiding in the shadows, pushing Castillo’s skills to the limit. Goyanes’ attention to detail in portraying Florida’s diverse settings creates a gripping atmosphere that immerses readers in the locales and the culture of the state.
Jorge E. Goyanes’ debut in the literary world occurred in 2012 with the release of Miami Beat, introducing readers to Jose Castillo, a sarcastic classic car restorer and private investigator. Castillo’s character is a homage to the hard-boiled detectives of classic noir, albeit with a modern South Florida twist. The success of Miami Beat was followed by Miami Moon in 2016, which combined an action-packed, around-the-state thriller with Goyanes’ unique blend of humor and suspense. His novels are known for their easy-to-read style, which doesn’t compromise on the depth of characters or the complexity of the storylines.
For Goyanes, the path to success as an indie writer has not been without its challenges. The difficulties of gaining visibility in an oversaturated market remain a significant hurdle for independent authors. Despite this, Goyanes has managed to carve a niche for himself by focusing on distinctive, fast-paced narratives that offer readers a taste of South Florida’s unique culture and landscapes. His characters, while entertaining and complex, provide an authentic reflection of the diverse communities that call the region home.
“As an indie writer, breaking through the noise can be one of the most challenging aspects of the job,” said Goyanes. “But the opportunity to tell stories that resonate with readers, particularly those who appreciate a good mystery with a side of humor, makes the journey worthwhile. Florida is a place full of intrigue, and I’m proud to incorporate its many facets into my work.”
Goyanes’ books have gained positive recognition for their vivid descriptions, relatable characters, and page-turning plots. The third book in the series, Florida Crossing, is set for release in June 2025, and Goyanes is already working on additional projects that will continue to expand the world of Jose Castillo.
In addition to his successful mystery novels, Goyanes has built a strong following through his engaging online presence. Fans of his work can find updates, news, and insights into the world of South Florida mysteries on his official website, JorgeGoyanesAuthor.com, as well as his social media platforms, including Facebook, where he connects directly with readers.
While Florida Crossing marks the latest chapter in Goyanes’ mystery series, it is also a reflection of the indie writer’s resilience in a competitive literary world. His ability to balance action with humor and his deep understanding of South Florida’s culture are key elements that distinguish his work from other mystery authors.
