First and most
importantly I want to thank Book
Reviews, Rants and Raves for
inviting me to post on his blog. I deeply appreciate your existence and your
generosity. You provide a critical forum to new authors like myself in a world
where small bookstores are dying out. Thanks to writers like you we are able to
present our books to the public. You are a great soul.:)
By way
of introduction my name is L.G. Fabbo-Gonnella. I am the author of the Mark Julian Vampire PI Mystery books. I love mysteries,
still do in fact. I had always wanted to write one of my own and, when
time permitted, I did it. My first book was “The
Case of The Choirboy Killer: A Mark Julian Vampire PI Mystery”. By now you will have figured out that
my lead character is a vampire and a private eye. He has a pretty impressive
pedigree since he is the nephew of Augustus Caesar. He currently resides and
works in modern day New York City. Assisting him in his cases is his secretary
Jaime. She is a changeling-sex demon who, for reasons all her own, prefers to
dress in a style that was typical of the 1940’s. Naturally there are love
interests for both of them. For Mark it is detective Vinnie Pasquale who is a
well-formed dark-haired cop assigned to homicide cases. Their initial meeting
does not go well but there are heavy sexual sparks between them. For our
Jaime, it’s Jean-Claude Roué, a very sexy crown prince of one of the city’s
major werewolf clans.
These books are
more than a series of “Mark and friends solve a crime”. In my works I slowly
revealed the myriad of supernatural beings that exist in American’s largest
metropolis. Our hero and his companions inhabit an amazingly complex unground
supernatural world. One I think you will enjoy reading about.
The books are also about
Mark and Vinnie’s personal relationship as well as that of their friends.
In addition to crime solving, issues such as bigotry about interspecies
marriages, the bumps and grinds of living together even the sexual temptations
that sporadically come to everyone will all make their appearances. Mark and
Vinnie are not a modern day “Nick and Nora” couple solving crimes with some
wisecracks coupled with occasional minor fights. Things are not easy when you
are intimately involved with another person. I try to reflect this fact in
these books. There will be fun and yes, some pretty heated sex, but more than
that will be the story of two guys who truly love each other but find its not
always fun and games being “with” that other person.
I
think this series captures the fun not only in the hunt for a solution to each
book’s crime but also, in visiting a world where no one is what they appear to
be and supernatural politics are played out with deadly consequences. I also
hope that they convey my deep love for New York City. I live here and find her
endlessly fascinating. I believe my stories will show that too.

Check your Internet seller of choice for my ebooks. I hope you will enjoy this
adventure with me. At the risk of sounding egotistical, I think of them as
rattling good yarns.

I enjoy fan mail feedback even the critical ones. Okay maybe not so much of the
latter but I try to reply to everyone who takes the time to write to me.

letting me post on it. Oh my own blog is: http://fabbo-gonnella.blogspot.com
