Timeless Endings Virtual Book Tour



Timeless Endings
by Alexandra Forry

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

BLURB:

Evelyn turned toward the lights of the city. The view was breathtaking as she stood looking down on Las Vegas, lovingly wrapped in Tony’s arms. It was a moment she would keep deep in her heart, forever. “Look at this—The City of Gold!” Evelyn exclaimed as Tony kissed her forehead. “And it’s all ours, Eve!”

Thus begins a heartwarming and harrowing tale of life and forbidden love lost to one generation and found in the next. Caught between a turbulent love triangle that shook the very foundations of the Mafia’s Las Vegas Empire, and a deadly struggle for wealth and power, Mob Boss and “King of Las Vegas” Tony Torino, his mistress hustler and onetime showgirl Evelyn Rosenberg, and her husband top Chicago mobster Charlie “Gus” Rosenberg live and love in defiance of the violent and unforgiving laws of the Mafia. All that remains is Evelyn’s carefully preserved diary left by Gus to be discovered by his daughter Adriane and Tony’s son Victor as they pack up her late father’s belongings. Through the vivid and brilliant use of flashbacks, juxtaposed with current events, we witness one of the most beautiful and ill-fated love stories of the last century. As Victor, a forest ranger who fled his family’s Mob past, and Adriane, an attorney being pressured to work for the Mafia, read through the diary old hatreds and new alliances rise leaving us to wonder if history will repeat itself.

Excerpt Three:

“Vic, you can’t just walk into Sonny Graziano’s office!” Al said, trying to get Victor to see reason.

“I’m going in, no matter what happens!”

“You’re not thinking right, my boy!”

“Yes I am! You can’t stop me! I've never fulfilled the vendetta for my father’s death!”

“Let’s grab a drink and talk about this some more,” Al begged him.

“Why? I finally have Adriane at last and now look at this mess… Adriane knows that Adam is our brother, and on top of everything else, Lisa is pregnant!”

“You’re teasing me?”

“Nope, I wish, but my mind is made up! My gun is loaded and I’m ready to kill.”

“Wait, you don’t have to go in there!”

“That would make me not my father’s son! Dad would do the same thing as me.”

“I beg to differ.  He would have a plan and a few cards up his sleeve.”

“Excuse me for not being my father! You have no room to talk, Uncle Al.  You ran as far as you could from this Mafia stuff.” Victor pointed out, tired of living in his father’s grand shadow.

“I would be dead now if I hadn’t run! I thought you wanted nothin’ to do with this kind of life?”

1. I write because... I wanted to be an author when I grew up. I set a goal that if I didn’t get a book out, by last year, that I’ll find another way to make a living. I’m proud to say that I have three books out, now. I love writing because to me, it’s like watching a movie as I type the words down. It’s very relaxing to write and disappear in another world… That’s why I love to write.    

2. What kinds of characters are your most favorite to write about and why? That’s a hard one… If you read my books, I have all kinds of characters from a Mob Boss to an outgoing rich teenage girl who makes you laugh. I have to say that my most favorite characters to write about are mobsters. I’m fascinated with them, the lifestyle that they lived, and the price they paid for it. I’m not trying to glorify mobsters, I'm telling it how it was back then. It’s a part of our US history.

3. Plotter or panster? I never heard of the plotter or punster term before now. Thanks to Google, one of my main writing tools, I found out.  I’m panster 100%.  I sit down and let the words flow out of my fingertips. I tried to plot a million times but when I am writing the story end up taking a better turn then what I’ve plan. Like I have been plotting my other book Wildflower for years now, and there are a few parts in the book that I didn’t plan at all.
 
4. If I were your favorite cookie, what flavor would I be? You have to be a cookie dough. I just love cookie dough. I know it’s bad but in my home sometime the cookie dough might not make it to the kitchen oven.

5. Heels or flats? Flat’s, because of my balance I can’t wear high heels or I fall fat on my nose.

6. What was the toughest scene you've ever written and why? In one of my books there was a hard scene that I wrote, where a mother knew that she might never see her daughter again. I cried when I was writing it.

7. What was the spiciest scene you have ever written? Well… The main love scene in Timeless Endings is the spiciest scene that I had ever written. Let’s say a lot of research went into that scene.

8. What's next on your writerly horizon? If I tell you, than it will not be a surprise! Hopefully I want to do a sequel to Timeless Endings because everyone is asking for it.
