Algeria: The Latest Hot Spot


Little did I realize that 10 mmonths after the release of my nove, Marcel's Gift, that , one of the settings I used, Algeria, would be in the national news.

Talk about perfect timing.

I was intrigued by these blue-veiled men of the Sahara when I found them mentioned in a Fodor's Travel Guide. In my novel, they are brought to the reader through the eyes of the main character, Solange, a watercolor artist.

In Marcel's Gift, Algiers is only one setting I use. My readers are taken on a romantic journey to the ancient, French Impressionist cities and the Vatican.

Marcel's Gift is available in eBook an Print versions through Amazon.com.

"MARCEL'S GIFT" ARRIVES IN 2 WEEKS.

       My husband said he feels like an expectant father pacing the waiting room while the baby gets ready to make its entrance. Well, if he feels like that, you can imagine how I feel. My due date is getting near. I hope you will add my "baby" to your ereaders.

     In just 2 weeks, (Feb. 15th) my debut novel, MARCEL'S GIFT, a contemporary love story, will be available from Amazon.com.

  "One heart: two men. She's found the love of her life. Too bad it isn't the man she's in love with."
                                                    
                                                      SYNOPSIS:
    
      Solange and Ambrose meet in the south of France--a meeting as unpredictable as it was predestined. Yet, it fit into the dark diagonal spaces where love often finds a foothold and loiters there waiting to capture and break the human heart.
     Ambrose brings Solange into his arms and eventually into his bed, sidestepping the issues that she is happily married, he is a Catholic priest, and her husband Marcel's gift sanctions the affair.   
     The lovers' voyage of forbidden love sends the reader on a highly sensual romantic journey spanning three continents: touching down on the birthplace of Impressionism in the ancient cities of France, the hot desert sands of Algiers with its blue-veiled men of the Sahara and the private, sacrosanct, papal chambers of the Vatican.
