If you have been reading my blog for any length of time you know that I have an amazing editor. Her name is Lorelei and she is an editing magus. Well Lorelei has written a book.

A book you should get.

Here is the synopsis:

Her future awaits…

Study-abroad student Amy Presgraves is full of excitement when she leaves for Greece, ready to start a new chapter in her academic life. A scenic romp to Athens is just what the doctor ordered, but she learns more than medicine from her professor, Dr. Dimitri Speros–a married man with the physique of a Greek god. Amy wants to deny her attraction to him, but, bizarrely encouraged by Lydia, Dimitri’s wife, she finally finds herself unable to resist the staggering passion that she feels.

But what starts out as a breezy summer fling becomes a struggle for happily ever after when Amy and Dimitri are faced with the ultimate betrayal. Together, they must learn to trust in order for their love to survive.

It’s available on Amazon for preorder you can get it HERE. I ordered my copy. This is a mature book, as in 17 and over mature. Go preorder it and lets make this book a hit!blogdragonfly

Marco Polo

I don’t watch much television.  The shows I do watch are usually brought to my attention by my wife, who has a fantastic sense of humor and knows the kind of shows I would enjoy.

Recently I discovered this  fantastically written show called Marco Polo. History says that Marco did visit China and there is some mention of him and the Silk Road.

This however is entertainment. They take artistic license with the historical and adapt it to their stories. Figured prominently is Kublai Khan played superbly by Benedict Wong. Each episode is an hour long and well worth the view. It is one of the most expensive series made to date-ten episodes cost 90 million. I think most of the investment was in the set and locations. The show is stunning to look at. Of exceptional note are the martial arts scenes. In particular anything involving the character of Hundred Eyes, played by Tom Wu.  

The good news is that it was just renewed for a second season. I am excited to see what comes next!

One more thing, this is an ADULT show. Dont use it as a teaching tool for the little ones, graphic violence and nudity abound. You have been warned, enjoy!blogdragonfly
