He came for a better life, but it didn’t turn out to be an easy one.

Sixteen-year-old Domenic Bassini sets out alone for America from his small
village in Italy in 1914. He falls in love during a brief onboard affair
with the beautiful Francesca, the wife of a man with Sicilian Mafia
connections. But he loses her and arrives in Boston instead with an orphan
stowaway named Ernesto Lentini in tow.

Domenic and Ernesto stay at the home of old family friends in Boston’s
Italian North End neighborhood, sharing a room with their son, Joe. Domenic
becomes like a big brother to Joe and Ernesto, who become inseparable
friends.

As the years and decades pass, youthful rivalries and fateful decisions
lead to unpredictable and sometimes unsavory outcomes. Between moments of
joy and great tragedy, the three friends’ lives take very divergent paths
amidst the turbulence of factions vying for power in the early 20th century
Boston where the lines between politics, crime and policing are
blurred.

But after all that has kept them apart, can Domenic, Ernesto, Joe and even
Francesca, come together to settle the score with those who have spent a
lifetime fighting against them?

Do you know what it’s like to win an Olympic gold, then have it stripped
away? I do.

Gold is every figure skater’s life dream. At fifteen, I experienced the
thrill of wearing the medal for a few minutes until judges accuse me of
being too young to be eligible. That’s when I realize my father’s ultimate
lie could cost more than my title.

During our daring escape from Russia, I pressure my coach to tell the truth
about my adoption. But the quad combination and two world titles aren’t
enough to keep the scandal from erasing my career and identity. Disgraced,
disqualified, and devastated, I can’t face a rink, fans, or daily life. My
controlling dad’s betrayal lights a fire to break free from his bad
decisions. My best friend and a journalist who will tell my story step in to
stop the downward spiral and help me uncover my past.

The story of Docia’s fierce determination to discover her true identity,
unerase her career, and find the passion to skate again will engage teen
readers, figure skating fans, and anyone who’s ever experience betrayal from
someone close.

What do my childhood bully, an ex, a shunned pack healer, and my deceased
father’s best friend have in common?

They’re all part of the new clan I’m promised to. A prophecy
from the pack witch sees me ripped from my college graduation, drugged, and
brought home. Thrust into the spotlight of a pack that despised me for being
the sole survivor of a house fire that ended two powerful bloodlines,
I’m out of my element.

Forced to choose between the start of Ragnarök or my own desires, I
embark on a journey with men I don’t want or trust. As the corruption
and threats come from the shadows, the options become clear, find common
ground or become pawns in a game far bigger than ourselves.

 Why does the greater good have to be so freaking painful?

EXCERPT

“You can pretend for a night, can’t you Princess?” I want to wipe the smirk off Bo’s face.

“If you stop antagonizing me, yes.” I chomp my teeth at him and he grins.

“I have to keep myself entertained somehow. All of my other extracurricular activities have been

cut off.” Bo’s eyes smolder. The asshole gets off on our back and forth.

“Poor spoiled Bo has to make do with his hand.” I run a finger down my cheek miming a tear.

Now 80 years old, retirement and advanced age have dissipated the spirit of
six college radicals of the 1960s, who jointly had participated in civil
rights campaigns and anti-war protests. Having engaged in only periodic
communication over the decades, they suddenly receive an invitation to
reunite for an extended weekend. Struggling with whether to go, each of them
has divergent qualms and expectations for the proposed gathering.

During their three days together, they confront their inner demons, each
other, and their future. Does Rebecca, the prime mover of the event, find
solace after losing her wife and career? Can Malaika regain her sense of
self after stepping down from her successful law practice? Mourning the loss
of her youthful athletic prowess and attractiveness, what happens when
Deanna faces her old friends?

Struggling with two divorces and a failing marriage, can Russell attain
peace of mind? How will Max, an expat living in Canada, manage with his
incipient dementia? Will the demoralized Keith recover his idealism?

Wrinkled Rebels is a story of how six people achieve meaningful lives
through the struggle for social justice. It is also a tale of love, the
bonds of friendship, and growing old positively.
