mem-gamblersfolly1Come on.  Just one quick peek. Gambler’s Folly is a paranormal fantasy romance involving shape-shifters, futuristic worlds, and a woman who’s life is forever changed by one hand of cards.

Open the door of the Stella d’Oro and look in on the world of Damiano Leone and his new wife, Karianna.

****

 They took their time browsing the gaming rooms. Damiano placed one or two small bets.

“Kiss me for luck, amore,” he said the second

time and she made sure he felt it down to his toes. She hoped he’d

lose, as he usually did. He claimed it was bad for business if he won

very often.  So naturally, he won. Raising a glass of champagne, he

addressed the patrons, “A toast to my lovely wife. May she always

bring me good luck.” The kiss she received was at least equal in

firepower to hers.

Shortly after, they saw Marco, who met them with a wide grin on

his face. “So, Damiano, are you planning another night like last

night?”

“Once was enough. Why?”

“Your scent is in the air, amico, and that of your mate. The

atmosphere is beginning to have an effect.”

As they looked around, the patrons who came in together as

couples were more amorous than usual, especially on the dance floor.

The singles among them were hunting, searching for someone who

might give them a chance.

Damiano laughed. “I hadn’t really given it much thought. I

suppose since we’re mated, the scent isn’t as obvious to me as it

would have been. But I can sense it now. It is different than before,

no?”

“Yes, it is,” Marco confirmed. “You are now a mated pair,

hunting together. Of course you are mainly stalking each other it

seems”—he grinned—“but your scent speaks of sex and the hunt.”

“Do you suppose it will be bad for business?” Damiano asked.

“I don’t know. It seems good tonight. Everyone is happy.”

“Then, my little Topolina, maybe we should dance.”

“Topolina?” Marco was confused.

“You know, a little furry plaything the smaller cats toy with.

Which if you’re very careful, you can play with for a long, long

time.”

She thought Marco was going to wet himself.

Black and white

Well, do you?

Picture a world which is a pleasure center. It offers anything you might want :  shopping, skiing, beaches, mountains, lakes, adventure, leisure–and gambling.

Picture a woman coming here with her husband, hoping they can put their marriage back together. Only to find his addiction for gambling has just landed her in a most dangerous situation.

Picture a tall, handsome, dangerous man in his late thirties. He has money, power, and rules most of the underworld syndicate on this world. Now he has something else he wants–the woman of his dreams.

The world is Gambler’s Folly.

The woman is Karianna, who’s husband lost her in a bid to wipe out his gambling debt to–

The underworld ruler, Damiano Leone, who’s word can save a man’s life, or sign his death warrant. Who’s dark side holds a secret most couldn’t even imagine.

CommercialHave you written a book, but you need help promoting it? Do you have a story to tell to the world?

Let me introduce you to Bavarlee Bernstein and his Facebook series, Let Me Tell Your Story. Each Saturday evening, Bavarlee introduces a new book on his program by reading an excerpt from the first chapter.

So far, I’ve found the books to be interesting, and there are several I want to read. My new novel, Gambler’s Folly, was featured in episode 12 of his program. I am also a nominee for the BBFBP awards in the Most Artistic category, as are several other extremely talented people.

If you’re looking for a new author to read, or if you have something to share, check out Bavarlee Bernstein’s Let Me Tell Your Story.

You won’t be sorry!

In the meantime, look up Gambler’s Folly, my new Paranormal Fantasy Romance–with shape-shifters.

CommercialWith Gambler’s Folly published, I’m working on Viviane: First Lady. Second draft is done, so I’m working with our daughter, Dawn,  to polish it up before sending it off.

I know they say never to ask friends and family, but Dawn is a godsend when it comes to editing. She says what she means and has some great input for changes.

So check back soon. I hope to send Viviane: First Lady to the publisher by the end of August.

In the meantime, go over to http://www.bookstrand.com/gamblers-folly and check out Gambler’s Folly. It’s still at a 10% discount through July 23.
