They say that when a student is ready, a teacher appears.
What they don’t say is where to register, and how to
matriculate in that teacher’s class.
That is a divine gift.
Veronica had it all:
the looks; the brains; the personality; and the wardrobe. Not to mention a perfect husband, a fabulous
career and two adorable children, until the perfect husband leaves her for
another woman.
Thus begin the daily routines of a typical New York City immigrant with ambition whose
teachers keep appearing, and for whom divine interventions keep affording new
opportunities.
Though it starts like ordinary connections going through the
tried and true, each relationship continues to delve into parts of her own
universe that Veronica didn’t know existed.
A universe that is suddenly open to her.
This is a different kind of heroine…
Welcome to the New American Dream, Dare to Dream…
BOOK EXCERPT:
“You see the details and you are awed
by them. It shows in your dress, in your
manner, in how you look at things, how you eat... It’s all art.
No amount of money or education can give it to you. You either see it, or you don’t.” He took another sip.
He
was about to tie it all together for her.
“Our society works in layers...”
“Oh,
my god ... what did you just say?” Her
eyes opened wide, and she stared at him.
But he didn’t see what was so shocking.
“Our
society works in layers. Notice I didn’t
say levels. It’s not linear.” This was important. He needed her to see this. “Think of it this way. You consider a person’s worth by their
financial statement. This is how much
you earn/own, and this is how much you owe/spend. Like, John Smith is worth a billion
dollars. With me so far?”
She
shook her head ... Someone else
subscribes to the layers theory? She
continued to stare at him.
“You
transcend that, Veronica. There are
several more layers of you that you don’t even know. You know that you are very beautiful, but you
also have this magnificent charisma, this affect on people. You talk with your clients, your friends,
your kids, and with me on completely different “layers”... like a napoleon,
yes?”
She
nodded her head, still in awe.
“It
isn’t that one layer is better than the other, although some will argue that
the soaked bottom is best because it has the most flavor; others will say the
flaky top is best; still others prefer the middle because it is just the right
amount. But one cannot exist without the
other. I would very much like to see you
discover the layers of yourself. There
are many that you have not discovered, and it's only because no one has taught
you. You excel in things that you
do. You’re quite a virtuoso, and I’d
like to teach you about more.
Interested?“
I’m being presented with an
opportunity. Am I even hearing this
correctly? Did he just say that there is
another world, layers, that I am worthy of attaining, and that he would like to
help me reach and discover these layers?
Wasn’t that what I was hoping for when we first met … to learn from
him? Concentrate, Nika, this is
serious. “I’m more than interested,
Jeremy, but I’m unaware of what is required of me.”
He
smiled. “Good question. There are many
layers here, but let’s deal with the first two.
First things first... you have trust issues.”
OTHER BOOKS IN THE SERIES: FAIRYTALES (BOOK 2)
Veronica’s story continues.
Ever wonder why there is so much gore in the storybooks that we read to our children? Is it because it is appropriate preparation for life?
Amidst the balls, and gowns and champagne … there are evil stepmothers and death and disease. There are also valiant princes, and kindly matriarchs and enchanted lands. There is no alternate reality though. It is still modern day
Still, Veronica needs to get up and go to work, and take the kids to school, and play nice with the ex’s new wife. But each layer is enchanted with its own romance… and its own lover becomes a benevolent wizard. There’s Ben… and Jeremy… and Edmonde. And then there’s KD. Why choose?
These are the games your mama never taught you. These are men’s games played by a woman. And a woman is only eligible to play when she is taught to see the world differently. It isn’t just a matter of calculations… it is a matter of nobility. What Jeremy taught in NAPOLEON, becomes a world of experience in FAIRTYATLES.
They say you only love once… but that isn’t a fact for Veronica. Each of her bedmates offers her and demands from her something different.
What starts out as a parochial life, with known participants and variables, is unveiled with more and more opportunities. Each comes with a privilege and an obligation – and Veronica has never shirked an obligation. Not even in a fairytale.
It’s all connected… just on a higher layer.
OTHER BOOKS IN THE SERIES: PETALS (BOOK 3)
Veronica’s story continues.
The prettiest of blooms commence with the nurturing of the seed? In PETALS… Veronica’s life goes global, and she unites her family with the aristocracy around her, without self- betrayal.
Physical recovery post trauma is not the difficult part. How do you heal the other parts of you? And what if you were stupid enough to throw out the healer in your life?
Every relationship takes work. Every relationship is a lesson. Each has a depth.
Where NAPOLEON and FAIRYTALES opened a magical kingdom dominated and ruled by men…
PETALS reveals the same monarchy ruled by women. There is a new perspective on the same world, and the same characters. Relating to women, and taking your place among the nobility requires a lot… and not at all a marriage or blueblood.
But of course it wouldn’t be Veronica’s life…if there weren’t more lovers, more galas, more jewels and of course… more heartbreak…
It is a fun journey. What it isn’t -- is a known destination.
