THE BOOKS
The Speed of Dark is one of my favorite stories. It's an inspirational paranormal fantasy and coming-of-age tale.
There are some people you never forget. In the summer of 1964, Luke D’Angelo falls for one of them–a mysterious girl named Celeste. Like Luke, Celeste is an outsider struggling to find her identity, but unlike Luke, Celeste has special powers that have the potential to destroy everything Luke and his friends believe in.
Luke and his mentally challenged sister become fast friends with this curious girl. Set in upstate New York, in a town that's home to a shrimp cocktail plant that belches a foul-smelling tomato and fish fog, this coming-of-age tale about a girl with a dream and the teens who want to help her fulfill it, is a balance between the comic and the profound. The story resonates with the message that inside each of us is a light that burns so bright no dark can extinguish it. But at what cost?
Hard Head is a suspense novel with romance and paranormal elements too! If you like tales set in foreign places like Italy, or secret societies, this book should appeal. It's about a journey taken by a Mom and her troubled teenage daughter.
When Rosanna Sweeney defies her father’s deathbed order that she never go to Italy. she and her teenage daughter journey across Italy to the Calabrian town of her father’s birth. In their quest, they find romance, learn about one another, and uncover a past that links them to secret societies far worse than the Mafia. Can they survive their dark legacy?
In 36C Tressa Connell dreams of finding the right fellow, of putting her graphics art degree to work, and of traveling to Venice. The reality is that she's stuck in a dead-end job selling lingerie to rail-thin women who prowl the high-end Manhattan boutique where she works. Hounded by a helmet-haired boss, befriended by a troubled Latina makeup artist, and wooed by a Jewish cop, Tressa also has a giant grandfather clock strapped to her back, a bushel of eggs in her arms, and her mother cracking a Pampers whip over her head. This one's a fun chick lit set in Manhattan.
In Slings and Arrows, when massage therapist Ellen D'Este separates from her husband her life begins to unravel. In an attempt to reinvent herself, she encounters a female spiritualist and a handsome stranger who turn her world upside down. Can she find love, faith and meaning in life or will she be the unwitting pawn of a charlatan? This one has paranormal and romantic themes.
