I'm working on something unimportant, so unimportant that it is important to the history of San Francisco. "402 AVALON".

 

This is the preliminary cover and what is inside the cover is important. To be finished and published by Christmas or sooner.

When I began writing DUBROVNIK, my historical fiction novel with fresh urban twists, a simply plot evolved. I didn’t outline the story or characters when I started writing, but having worked and lived in Dubrovnik, Croatia, I understood many of the complications involved. Gathering geographical and cultural information about the area was easy. Romancing locals while detailing historical and present Croatian ethics was difficult so I was surprised that Dubrovnik is my bestselling novel in Europe and the United States.

   I wanted realistic fiction, simple and presentable, a picturesque novel of small proportions that included petite clips of the topography and personalities where a couple of plot twists would harness the interest of readers. Keeping the dialog concise wasn’t a problem, and knowing a fast-paced story would maintain focus. I used Hemingway journalistic word economy and understatements then limited literary heavy equipment. I became lost in the front lines of the Croatian war against the Serbians; neighbors against neighbors, relatives fighting relatives, and friends undermining friends.

   The fostered result became a novel of enormous emotional complexity where love-hate factors intermingled. Croatia has a magnificent historical heritage that spans over two thousand years. How was I going to include such depth and intricate behavior of hundreds of generations of multi-racial ethnic groups with current passions for peace and democratic ambitions?

   After becoming educated in a few of the Croatian moral principles, their urban values and the younger generation ideology, a simple and different approach detailed my writing. The issues of friends, neighbors, hate, love, peace and war were reoccurring subjects among the Croats, as well as foreign interference. Two historical families surfaced as the main strength of the story; feuding that tore the families apart, loves that drove them crazy, hatred they experienced together and the offering of outside help for resolution. I blended all that potency with the wrath of civil war; killing the enemy at any cost while protecting Croatian heritage. An exemplary page turner titled DUBROVNIK unfolded. It turned into a personal education as you might imagine.

If you would like me to publish the erotic story, Love in Malawi, one chapter per post, comment and tell me. This post consists of the Foreword I'd written for Love in Malawi.

If you are an amazon.com Prime member, you can borrow Love in Malawi for free.

Foreword by Ben Campbell:

Because Love in Malawi, Christian Love Series book 1, is such a sexy force of human nature and filled with fascinating characters, the author Tessa Blade couldn’t neglect any one of their visions, triumphs, failures or their erotic escapades, therefore, she’d written the story alternating chapters between third person omniscient and main character narrations.

This writing style exposes nuance appetites, without obscuring scintillating affairs with narrative foreshadowing. With passion Tessa Blade hooks you up with Christian Love, a man whose future is under siege by difficult events from his youth. The power of sexual obsession and yearning for freedom places him in Karonga, Malawi, a locality he thought he knew, but his memory will never be the same when fresh experiences thrusts him headlong into alluring relationships.
