Never Can Say Good-bye: Finding Romance and Suspense
  Many of the most important times and events in a person’s life were brought about by coincidences-- chance meetings or sudden inspirations, which awakens us to new dreams or fresh perspectives. But how many of these incidences were actually brought about not by divine intervention, but by the decisions we made throughout our lives? Just think about thousands of choices we make every day. They lead us to one destiny or another. Yet how many decisions are based not on free choice, but on contracts made between souls to fulfill karmic debts? Using researching his new book as an excuse, Michael chooses to visit his friend Lynne in Coyote Springs. In his conscious mind, he wants to rekindle their romantic relationship; instead he fixates on the Randolph Bellow and his family. Through researching the dead lumber baron, he meets his granddaughter Shane Bellows. Nearly half his age, Shane arouses passion within him. He calls it love. Lynne knows better. He doesn’t love Shane any more than he had loved her. Lynne knows that there has been one woman who has always had his heart. Just because he has yet to meet her, it doesn’t mean she doesn’t exist. Against her and others’ advice, Michael and Shane marry. The town is shocked when the owner of the Bellows Mansion offers to allow the newly weds to move into the old house. Michael is ecstatic. Growing up, Shane heard how the ghost of her grandfather’s first wife, Sara Jane, had tormented his second family until they were forced to flee for their own safety. It was sold to Amanda Bellows just to be rid of the ghost’s curse. Although Shane fears the house, she loves Michael more and reluctantly agrees to live there. After moving in, Michael’s obsession deepens. It’s all he can think and dream about. He knows there is more to it than can be seen. He searches the old records and finds what he is looking for. Taking the panel off the wall does more than reveal the hidden room. Turning the knob, he opens the door to the past. Crossing the threshold starts him down the path, which could once again lead to obsessive love, betrayal, and murder as he reconnects with the past. In spite of her reservations, Elizabeth agrees to teach a writing course at a small college. Her instinct tells her to run in the opposite direction, but she never forgets a kindness and the man who asked was the one who made her career possible. Arriving in town, she instantly regrets her decision. But as much as she wants to run, the town draws her in, awakening old memories of passion, anger and fear. By the time she realizes what is happening, it is too late to run. The doors of her past have been opened and the memories overwhelm her. Love, guilt and betrayal intertwine in a kaleidoscope of memories as the past and present abruptly collide. Can they remember the love and learn from the past before they once again turn down the path of murder and revenge? http://www.wix.com/tirgana/never-can-say-good-bye | | Monday, December 19th, 2011 | | 7:48 pm |

Lori, Runaway Wife: A Romantic Myster
http://www.ValentineDmitriev.com A spouse abuse victim stands a much better chance of surviving independently if they possess career skills and other life skills. That is the central theme of the novel Lori, Runaway Wife (ISBN 1-60672-173-0, 2008 Publish America, Baltimore, 229 pages, $15), by Valentine Dmitriev, 92, a retired educator and author of several books. Lori Becker, a nurse at a Queens's hospital, is a battered wife who is intimidated by her brutal spouse despite being professionally skilled. Lori lives in the fantasy world of romance mysteries, idolizing their handsome author Ian Damion. Yet she is trapped until the birth of Ian's son sets her free and her life skills mould the opportunity to build self-esteem and create a new life of independence. The author spent 10 months writing and researching Lori, Runaway Wife. Part of Dmitriev's research was her experiences as a juror in the trial of a man arrested for attacking his ex-wife, torturing her all night, and raping her with the neck of a wine bottle. "Education gives women as well as men greater freedom to make better and more desirable choices," says Dmitriev. "For women especially, an education that prepares them for a marketable skill gives them freedom -- the chance to leave a bad relationship with the knowledge they can support themselves and their children independently." If Lori Becker did not have any skills, stresses Dmitriev, she never would have gotten a job as a nanny which provided the means of escape -- the first step in finding freedom, independence, self-confidence, and a new fulfilling life. Born in Shanghai, China in 1918, Dmitriev moved with her family to Vancouver, Canada, and as an adult settled in Seattle, Washington. Dr. Dmitriev, was a pioneer in infant learning and early intervention for special needs children and received national recognition for her Model Preschool Program for young children with Down Syndrome and other disabilities. Over a period of 15 years she traveled widely giving lectures and workshops in 40 cities in America and 11 foreign countries including Australia, England, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Russia and Spain. Dmitriev has written numerous professional articles, seven books on parenting, education and child development, and three other romance novels, Wedding Belle, Five Magic Words and Stolen Bride. Valentine Dmitriev graduated from high school at age 15, earned a BA from the University of Washington at age 19, and subsequently earned her master's in education and PhD from the University of Washington. About the Author Born in China and raised in Canada, Valentine Dmitriev settled in Seattle, Washington and spent 32 years working with normally developing youngsters as well as with the disabled and mentally impaired infants and preschool youngsters. A pioneer in special education, she published five books before taking an early retirement and moving to a retirement cottage in New Jersey where she has published two novels in the past two years. http://www.ValentineDmitriev.comNews contact: Book Publicist Scott Lorenz of Westwind Communications Book Marketing http://www.book-marketing-expert.com 734-667-2090 or scottlorenz@westwindcos.com |
