My Date with Veronica Lake Now Available

2008-04-02T19:30:00.000-07:00

The e-book is now available for purchase. Email me at jeremy8451979@yahoo.com for details. The book is $4.00. I'm accepting payment by PayPal. For those of you not familiar with the story, here is a synopsis:

Sam Pileggi has been on many dates in his life, but none of them can compare to the one he is going on tonight. When Sam meets former silver-screen star Veronica Lake he is instantly smitten, that she has been dead for over 30 years does nothing to quell his affection. Veronica will be his guide as Sam is taken on a dizzying journey beginning in the streets of Manhattan and ending in the skies above the Atlantic Ocean. One thing is for sure this is a date Sam will never forget.

A Couple of Reviews for "Veronica Lake"

2007-07-22T13:51:00.000-07:00

Do two positive reviews count as being critically acclaimed? Probably not, but the reviews were very kind. The first is from Coffee Time Romance reviewed by Cherokee. The next is from FMAM (Futures Mystery Anthology Magazine) reviewed by Christine Speakmen . My favorite line from this review: "You won't regret taking the time to enjoy this short visit to one magical night."
