For better or for worse, he's stuck living under the same roof as Glenholm's own notorious witch man. Balor's not a bad guy actually. It's Myr, the lunatic drunk who gets his kicks from threatening Casper on pain of death every now and again, that's giving him the most problems.

The Botito King (Based on the life of Casper Holstein Father of the Numbers Lottery)

Summary
Chapters

“The Bolito King 103,582 words” is a fictional account based on the life of Casper Holstein, millionaire, philanthropist, and father of the Harlem numbers racket. His policy game was established a good ten years before Madam Queen or Bumpy Johnson while his financial and humanitarian contributions to the Harlem Renaissance and the Virgin Islands have been lost in obscurity. I have inserted a sample clipping that I used for a reference and below is a mini-synopsis of my manuscript. I hope you find his story interesting because it has haunted me for many months. Synopsis Of Material Covered Casper Holstein was born December 7, 1876, in Christiansted, St. Croix, then the Danish West Indies, now the US Virgin Islands. He came to the states as a teenager, serving in the Navy, working as a bellhop, as well as working for a wealthy Jewish family. When they lost their money, Holstein supported them, even paying for their funerals. He also owned a gambling establishment called the Turf Club, and was active in black fraternal organizations and the New York Virgin Islands Association. Holstein entered serious gambling after WWI when he devised a new system for determining the daily winning number. The stock clearing houses released a daily total that was published in the newspapers. In Holstein’s system, the winner was certain digits of that number, a number truly random and unable to be fixed. For those who bet, the odds were 999 to 1, just enough to make enough numbers hit to keep hope alive. Holstein was active in public life, contributing generously to worthwhile causes. He supported the Vincent Sanitorium, the nationalist Garvey Movement, and it was he who provided prizes for Opportunity magazine’s literary awards – which discovered and recognized much of Harlem’s young talent. On September 23, 1928, Casper Holstein was kidnapped, allegedly by gangster Arthur Fleggenheimer “Dutch Schultz”. Holstein finally retired from the Harlem’s numbers racket after a one-year stint in prison in 1937 and it was eventually taken over by the mob. Holstein had enough money to continue working in real estate and mortgages. When he…

Out of an unnaturally quiet night, a bedraggled woman in noble finery requests access to the southern capital. Who she is has been lost to time for most, but her continued existence will throw everything further out of balance.

The south has barely survived their recent Pyrrhic victory against the north immediately followed by a coup. The north is bloodied but unbowed, on the brink of civil war, but still ready to take up arms against the southern invaders. The leaders of the south cannot afford another obstacle. And Janurana is just that. Yet her chance meeting with a woman expelled from the warrior class named Dhanur gives them both a chance to avenge the ones they loved, finish what they failed to do, and return to a normal life. *** Set in a fantasized bronze age India featuring LGBT female leads. Told in an omniscient pov with glances into multiple characters.

Evangeline's Vines

Book / Historical Fiction

February 20, 2020

Summary
Chapters

What would you do to win the heart of the one you love? Evangeline Langlois is a 31 year old vineyard manager, too beautiful to be a spinster, but too independent to be tamed. Set in the burgeoning California grape fields of 1893, this book was born from a photograph. It was a picture of a beautiful vineyard woman with a falcon on her arm and a wondrous smile on her face. Trained falcons have been used for millennia to scare away birds that eat the grapes. Although this story is utterly fictional, its essence lives in a real vineyard. This is my homage to the poor woman's unbreakable spirit and those warm Nova Scotia summer nights, where the Bay of Fundy sparkled in the moonlight and the view of the vineyard was perfect.

Caroline Proust's husband may have died, but her immorality never did. The resident adulteress of her small town called Dewbrook, she began to hatch a plot that involved the seduction of a wealthy neighbour, Harold Wells, after the threat of losing everything she had came to her door.

The plan was supposed to be easy, but the arrival of Stephen Rochester, who had just made a fortune through gambling, into her neighbourhood, changed it completely. Trying to avoid the suspicion of Harold's sister, Rosemary, having to deal with the righteousness of Stephen's wife, Mildred, as well as working hard to protect her reputation from falling apart at the seams, she starts to realise that her life will never be what it once was and that her lies may swallow her whole.
