ABOUT THE MULTI-AWARD BOOK Winner:

When Lara dies at the hands of a Manhattan lawyer during a sex game, his defense attorney, Carl, hires Simone, a psychiatrist, professor, and author of books on sexual behavior to help him buttress his argument that Lara’s death was accidental. To help his defense, Carl’s client has written a detailed account of his steamy, year-long relationship with Lara. Carl gives the text to Simone for analysis. While evaluating the presumed killer’s writing, Simone continues to receive psychiatric patients with sexual disorders and unusual fantasies, to research strange sexual behavior for her next book.

Meanwhile, Simone’s clinical partner, friend and research colleague, Edward, is working with the police to capture a serial killer who is torturing and killing women. From hot and unusual sex and interesting psychiatric patients to the swing houses of New York and Paris, this fast-paced page-turner is a blend of mystery, suspense, humor, romance, and light erotica.

**Reader Advisory: This story has graphic sexual language and scenes—no closed bedroom doors (or other rooms) here!**

After looking death in the face, she tries to develop a new outlook on life—live in the moment! Carl, the charming lawyer, is back, asking once more for Simone’s help, this time in analyzing Lara’s journals, which were discovered by her siblings after her death. In her own words, Lara divulges all her secrets, and reveals a dramatic world of betrayal, passion, and the most unusual sexual behaviors, exposing the beautiful architect’s troubled life.

As Simone tries to deal with the contents of Lara’s haunting diaries, one of her patients gets himself into a bit of legal trouble, forcing Simone to return early from her vacation. Although she’s happy to be back on her home turf, she finds herself surrounded by a whole new set of problems. A killer is out there, and this time, he seems to be after the people Simone cares about most. Suddenly, people around her are dying, a stalker/admirer keeps showing up at all the wrong times, and Simone’s dear friend Edward has a new girlfriend—forcing Simone to analyze her feelings for him and her attraction to Carl.

 

 

The Brilliant Game (Hidden Motives) (Volume 3)

NOW Released! Book three the finale and readers say; “Fasten your seat belts before you embark on this roller coaster ride and prepare for the most unpredictable end!” – As Psychiatrist Simone Bennet feels like a pawn on a chessboard—as if some invisible, master chess player is toying with her life and the lives of the people she loves and cares for.

Struggling to stay afloat in the middle of a sea of chaos, Simone continues to receive her psychiatric patients and do more work for the New York attorney, Carl, while local police, the FBI, and Edward—Simone’s boyfriend, best friend, and business partner—are working hard to locate her child.

Simone is analyzing another set of Lara’s journals, and she becomes dragged into a vortex of sex addiction, suffering, and Lara’s struggle for some kind of balance in her life, while Simone battles an inner fight against her mixed feelings for the enigmatic lawyer. Filled with twists and turns, this final book in the Hidden Motives trilogy reveals a deranged, steamy, and disturbingly brilliant game of sex, murder, and mystery and chronicles a woman’s conflict between love and reason …

 And? Book Reviews Tell ALL! Her is Book Diva’s Review of “Behind The Door”

“From the moment you start to read this well-written story you find yourself becoming captivated and eager to turn the pages. The storyline seems so real that you just cannot stop yourself from falling head over heels with it all. This is truly a thrilling, sensual and erotic read, and trust me; you won’t want to put it down!!”

An Amazing Review For “LARA’S JOURNAL”

“Fantastic!! What a great follow up from Behind the Door! The suspense in this series followed by the sizzling steaminess left me astonished! I could not put this one down. Please A. Gavazzoni, don’t make your fans wait too long for book three! The cliffhanger in this one was so intense!”

Exceptional Book Reviews Already For “The Brilliant Game – The Finale”

This was a really good read. The simultaneous plot line between Lara’s journal and Simone’s real-life make it very interesting. There is a lot of sexual content which makes it a mature read but adds to the fun and story flow. Plus, by the end of this book, there are a number of surprises that surfaced to add to the impact. I’m very pleased. The way the author wrote the story, the turns, the mystery, the thrills and everything was amazing. If I would sum up the book it’ll be:

Story – Awesome
Plot – Interesting
Characters – Lovely [My favorite Simone]
Mystery – Ooooooooo
Thills- I still have goosebumps

Well, that is my book promotion tip for my authors and help them gain more exposure for their books. Here are a few books and authors I promote who have lowered the price of their e-books for Spring as some have won medals, some are new releases and check out all Cat’s books on my “Hot Book Picks” page while you are visiting.

About “Ancient Ways”

“What if monotheism always existed, and revelations were given to all human forms. There are hints to that effect. We should not assume primitive peoples weren’t smart enough to grasp the concept of a single Creator” …

Too often we tweak religion to reflect our personal thoughts rather than dealing directly with the Word of God.  Monotheism, today is represented by at least nine living faiths, yet praying to God alone is not enough, for many. Instead, we pray to prophets, angels, saints, ancestors, deities, even the universe.

This creates a chain of “Paths” and “Ways” which become stained, over time, by human desires for control and material benefits. And as darkness and materialism overtake one Faith, another is born, through the intervention of the Holy Spirit, which is clothed in a different form, with a new name, and very familiar teachings.

Like the Tree of Life, monotheism can be visualized as a chain linking prehistory and history, entwined with human additions, wisps, and twists that produce an undulating, ultimate Yin and Yang. This constant interaction of complementary, as well as conflicting, forces and energies, exhibits both organic unity and dynamism-even war. Those who suspect there is a unified core of basic beliefs should enjoy Ancient Ways.
Hopefully, you will find precious gems to take with you!

Editorial Review:  5-Stars and Very Enjoyable Read!
“An interesting and fluently written book about monotheistic faith and the links between its many forms throughout history. It raises some real thought-provoking theories, backed up with strong examples but written very easy and reader-friendly.  A great read!”

Cat’s next E-book Sale is “Find The Seeker!: The pathless path to fulfillment and happiness,” a new release and stacking up many fine editorial reviews! It is written by one of the few living Zen Masters of our time. Author, Genro Xuan Lou, Laoshi and Author, Clifford Stevens both from Austria! Was $9.99 and now on Sale ***$2.99****

Find The Seeker FACEBOOK and TWITTER TEASER SALE(1)

ABOUT:  “Find The Seeker!”

Find the Seeker! with the subtitle “The pathless path to fulfillment and happiness”, based on the tried and tested wisdom of a living Master and enlightened ones throughout the ages, accompanies us on a life-changing inner pilgrimage.

Find the Seeker! is a powerful, straight-talking wake-up call to people of all faiths and confessions, holding up a mirror to our worldly existence, suffering and the intricate workings of the ego. Immensely uplifting and rewarding, the book serves as a travelling companion and guide, enticing readers with a vision of what we really are -which can only be directly experienced – by helping us unfold our true nature and reboot our spiritual search so that we can abide in the one Self. In this way, seekers become finders, and we can enjoy the bliss and lightness of Being that is inherently ours.

Find the Seeker! has garnered extensive praise from spiritual teachers: 

“A unique, extraordinary and extremely valuable work.” – Ihaleakala Lew Pen
“Disarming and worth experiencing.” -John Tarrant
“Refreshing as a clear stream.” -Robert Meikyo Rosenbaum
“The book…touches your heart.” -Hue Feng

Editorial Review:  

“Find the Seeker! is fresh as spring grass and refreshing as a clear stream. The teachings in this book refuse to be confined to a spiritual checklist or manual of meditative techniques.

Instead, the authors, again and again, challenge readers to return to the vibrant truth of original nature. Going beyond optimistic self-help and nihilistic despair, Genro Xuan Lou, Laoshi and CliffordStevens remind us of how wonderful it is to let go of grasping and taste the vividness of direct experience.”  –Robert Meikyo Rosenbaum, neuropsychologist and psychotherapist, Zen and Qi Gong teacher, author of Walking the Way: 81 Zen Encounters with the Tao Te Ching, and Zen and the Heart of Psychotherapy.

Our Next Author, Ellie Pulikonda has both her current e-books on sale! “Split Second” and “Finding Faith” … One is a fast-paced psychological thriller read and the other a tender story and triumphs of three remarkable women.

ABOUT: “SPLIT SECOND” and  “FINDING FAITH”

Are You An Ideal Candidate For Publicity? Let’s See What Marsha From “News & Experts” Thinks.


Authors and Writers are an extraordinary breed

We work feverishly at the craft of writing and when we chose to publish our works, unless you make the “Big Time” it is difficult to work our way into “Main Stream Media.” Of course, we want our books to be found by readers all over the world who may enjoy our “style” of writing, be it fiction, a memoir, or mystery suspense reads. That is where an amazing PR Firm can help. And luckily I have a friend in the BIZZ.

 ~ CEO of News & Experts PR Firm knows not all authors can afford a public relations company. So she is kind enough to share many tips and advice with us from her sites and why I enjoy having her as a guest frequently here on my book promotions blog. She has been doing what she does for over 28 years now, and is passionate and caring about what she does and about helping authors gain the spotlight. So here is a new Guest Article she has shared in hopes of you gaining some knowledge on how to make you and your books shine through media!

Guest Article ~ Ready For The Media?

Here’s a question you might have asked yourself as you decide whether to take the plunge and embark on a PR campaign: How do I know if I qualify for the media spotlight?

If you aren’t someone the media is already beating down the doors to interview, you can get them to look your way if you have the right qualities and characteristics that will give them the assurance that you’re someone worth their time.

But just what are those qualities and characteristics? Let me share a few that I think make someone the ideal candidate to have a successful publicity campaign:

  • A book. One of the best ways to build your authority is to write a book. This can give you a leg up on others in your field because not only can you talk about the same things as your competitors, but you literally wrote the book on the subject! Some people try to beg off this one, saying they struggle to write a short essay, so an entire book is out of the question. Relax. That’s where topnotch ghostwriters come into the picture and can do the job for you. Do you absolutely need a book to have a successful PR campaign? No, but it immediately communicates your authority which helps immeasurably with gaining entry to the media.
  • Credentials. When we choose to take on a client, what we look for is that your credentials are in line with your message. The media must be able to trust that you know your subject and credentials are the primary qualifiers they use. They will be skeptical of anyone who strays too far outside their area of expertise. For example, a medical doctor who wants to talk about heart disease is a good fit. A medical doctor who had success with his own investments, and writes an investment book is not such a good fit. Why would the media interview the doctor when they could find a highly credentialed financial professional?
  • Experience and knowledge. When you’ve personally undergone, encountered or lived through something, then yours is a voice the media is more likely to listen to. For example, if a teacher who spent 25 years in the classroom says he has ideas about how to improve student learning, that will carry more weight than if it comes from someone who hasn’t stepped inside a classroom since their high school graduation three decades ago. Your experience can give you anecdotal stories to share with the media, and your knowledge helps put that experience in perspective for the media.
  • Passion. We always try to tap into a client’s passion because we know that if we set up an interview with the media it is more likely to go well if our client is talking from where their heart is. While we can present you to the media as an authority, once the interview begins it’s your passion that will engage them and their audience.

So do you think you have what it takes? Do you have the credentials, experience, knowledge, and passion – and perhaps also a book? That makes you the ideal person to launch a great publicity campaign.

Remember, you don’t have to be a household name to get started. But with dedication, tenacity, persistence, and commitment to this business-growth journey, you might become one before it’s over.

Ideally yours,

Marsha
