Eleusis : Free Kindle Book

Editor's Note: Most people would think that being a mythical god/goddess would be a wonderful thing, but even the gods had family drama. 

Such an amazing story! I felt like I was on the adventure of a lifetime!

Book Description: Mythology and contemporary life collide when a woman discovers that she is the latest embodiment of a goddess who escaped from the underworld centuries ago. Hades sill hunts for her but times have changed and she's done running.

Fans of Stephanie Meyer, Rick Riordan, and Diana Gabaldon will enjoy Eleusis. 

Author's Inspiration: I was disappointed with the powerlessness that described Persephone when she was abducted by Hades in the original Persephone mythology. This is a reimagination of this mythology. The positive change in attitude towards I have witnessed towards women in the last 25years in society....and two hundred beautiful acres in South Carolina bordering a large lake that has seen the history of America unfold from the Native Americans to the early colonists and slaves up to the present day.

Actor Who Would Play the Main Character: Teresa Palmer

From the Book: High above them on the wooded hillside, the seeker scrambled to its feet, tense and alert. The wind ruffled its black fur. It stretched stiffly. Something was different. It sniffed the air again to be sure. It had been here so long, its purpose almost forgotten, but the scent, stronger now, stirred the creature, and it quivered with excitement. A low growl rumbled in its chest. Eager to alert the collector, it turned and quietly picked its way along the path through the trees to the opening in the rocks. It paused one last time to taste the air swirling up from the falls, then ducked its shaggy head through the entrance, shifted its shape, and slipped through the opening in the earth. The seeker was positive. The memory, although old, was strong.

She was back.

The Inferno Experience: Free Kindle Book

Editor's Note: this is a guide through Hell and Heaven in Florence: experience Inferno!

Dante's hell. In Florence.

Book Description:We visit 16 places that remind us of his Inferno. Do not fear, as we will visit 10 divine places as well, and we will end our tour in a church, close to heaven…

Fans of Dan Brown will like this book.

From the Book: Was it the devil’s work? Perhaps he did have a hand in the bizarre events that took place in January of 1600, when a massive lightning storm erupted right above Florence. It thundered and lightened like there would be no tomorrow. One bolt of lightning hit the sphere on top of the lantern of the cathedral’s dome, which came off and hit the ground with a resounding blow.

The Florentines took this to be an expression of God’s wrath – an admonition to gather under the dome of God’s church more often. When you walk past the cathedral, behind the dome, on the right side of the square, otherwise paved in gray, you’ll find one white round stone plaque, made of marble. This stone marks the place where the fallen sphere left a deep mark in the pavement.

Sara Bruni

 

Sara Bruni (1980) was born in Siena, where as a child she used to explore every last tiny alleyway. She studied medieval history at the University of Siena, because she was fascinated by Dante and his stories. After losing her heart to an American literary scholar, who shared her fascination for Dante, she moved to the United States.

At least three times a year she returns to the city where she was born, where the breath of the middle ages can still be wonderfully tangible. In honor of Dan Brown’s Inferno, Sara followed in the footsteps of Dante in Florence, Siena and Tuscany. In her eBooks, she shares these travels, so you can use them as the basis for your own trip. What is your favorite food, place to write, music to listen to, TV show?: I love Italian food, coffee and wine, next to good history and mystery novels. Although I live in the US, I visit Italy 3-4 times a year.

Oliver Booth and the Evil Socialite : Free Kindle and Nook Book

Editor's Note: David Sedaris fan? Well, here's a book that is right up your alley. Full of witty satire, it will have you laughing at the absurdity of high society! 

This book is wicked funny. The perfect book to read when flying from New York to Palm Beach!

Book Description: In OLIVER BOOTH AND THE EVIL SOCIALITE, Oliver Booth, the man readers love to hate, is back! In this hilarious sequel to the award-winning novel The Misadventures of Oliver Booth: Life in the Lap of Luxury, Oliver’s quest for fame and fortune leads him into the world of high-end real estate, where he becomes embroiled in a battle with a socialite who is not all that she appears to be. It’s a fast and funny satire you won’t want to miss.

Fans of Evelyn Waugh, David Sedaris, and John Kennedy Toole will love OLIVER BOOTH AND THE EVIL SOCIALITE. 

Author's Inspiration: I live in Palm Beach and I'm exposed to people with too much money and too much free time on a regular basis. I write my novels and my newspaper column in the Palm Beach Daily News to have a bit of fun with those people, but also to keep a bit of distance from their world, and I know I'm never going to run out of material!

Actor Who Would Play the Main Character: Nathan Lane

From the Book: Oliver Booth was not a professional parking valet, certainly not at his age. He also dabbled in the sale of antiques, although lately his role in that field had been limited to that of a deliveryman. Some months previously, he had attempted to defraud a certain Margaret Van Buren, the wealthy doyenne of Palm Beach society. Because of his status as the manager of an antique shop in town, Mrs. Van Buren had sent Oliver to Paris along with Bernard Dauphin, a young Frenchman who worked as a waiter at the Morningwood Club, to shop for furniture for her guest house at the Marché aux Puces. With Bernard's help, Mrs. Van Buren had uncovered Oliver's scheme to inflate the prices of the goods that had been purchased and thus his presumed commission and she had threatened to turn him in to the police unless he made reparations. Much to Oliver's chagrin, he had been required to cede control of the antique shop to Mrs. Van Buren and pay back all of the costs of his ill-fated trip.

SLOUCHING TOWARDS KOWLOON is an action packed roller coaster ride that will have you on the edge of your seat. Fans of Neuromancer and The Walking Dead will enjoy SLOUCHING TOWARDS KOWLOON. 

From the Book: Ruby watched the south entrance of the Victoria Clave market from the inside of an abandoned arcade until dawn came up on it, and it slouched into life. The Gitjihng moved into place at the market entrance like black burn marks against the corrugated steel walls, and what had been menace had shifted into terror. Their guns flashed with false promises. Their decay had been from the inside out, a profound kind of hypocrisy Ruby was beginning to understand the contours of. The line began for registration, rickshaws and individual vendors, carts filled with handmade goods and things found in the waste. A corpse lay in a pile of garbage at the corner of the market, in front of what had once been a stim pharmacy, and people walked by it, deliberately unseeing. She watched and waited for the Swede, for the Korean girl, but they didn’t come. She would have to go in after them.
