Cover Reveal for Eternal Soul Mates (Flames of Destiny Book 1)

Fascinated by the concepts of soul mates and reincarnation—the eternal cycles of the soul between this world and the Other Side—I have started a newparanormal romance collection, cloaked in mystery and suspense—The Flames of Destiny Collection. 

This is the cover of Eternal Soul Mates—the first novel published in this collection.


I'm excited about my new cover because it represents the loving couple—in their past and present lives—just the way I imagined them while writing the novel. What makes me even happier is that I’ve designed this cover myself. I hope you all, my dear friends and readers, like it as much as I do.

Here is the blurb:
In Eternal Soul Mates, the past merges with the present in a haunting and captivating story of love, loss, and betrayal.
Joanna Williams is bewildered by her mother’s mysterious past and scorching dreams of an irresistible stranger. Trying to find some answers, she visits her mother’s birthplace—the Greek Island of Zakynthos. Alexandros Kortesis—the owner of a luxury resort on Zakynthos—is drawn to Joanna like no other. But a dark secret threatens his family’s legacy, and unfortunately, Joanna is the one trying to uncover it.Danger and passion collide as the two soul mates—unaware that they were lovers in a past life—confront each other while at the same time try to resist the compelling force that draws them together. Will their eternal love prevail? Or will the battle against the evil guarding the secret lead them to their graves?
Eternal Soul Mates is a reincarnation romance story, cloaked in mystery and suspense. The action unfolds on the Greek Island of Zakynthos—a paradise on earth, in the aquamarine waters of the Ionian Sea. The novel will be available in a few days as e-book and paperback on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Apple, Kobo, and other fine booksellers everywhere.

A life of love, happiness, and abundance

Life is full of ups and downs. We could be among the lucky ones that everything has gone the way we want it so far.

But “negative” things happen to all of us. And they make us feel upset, sad, and sometimes angry or desperate.

But it’s those things that ignite a desire and determination for something better in our lives. We all dream of a life blessed with love, happiness, and abundance.

To create our dream life, we have to visualize it, wish it with all our hearts, and feel it with all our senses.

It is vital, however, that when we pray for love, happiness, and abundance for ourselves and our families, that we also wish it for the whole world.

Can you imagine, my friends, the power of millions of people wishing happiness and abundance for everyone? Can you imagine what would happen in your life if millions of people asked for those things for you?

Living the life of your dreams might be easier than you think

Success is great. But failure is also acceptable since you’re one step closer to succeeding next time.
If you’re afraid of failure, then you’re scared of trying… you’re scared of living.

I believe that it’s vital years down the road to be able to think back and have no regrets for not going after your dreams.

Family and career obligations, as well as the responsibilities of everyday life, are a good excuse for procrastinating. But in the end, you’ll never know what might have happened if you had given yourself a chance to accomplish what you really wanted. Keep in mind that unless you try, you have no chance to succeed.

I’ve made many mistakes throughout the years, but I’ve learned from them. At least, I didn’t make the mistake of not trying at all.

I get disappointed and sometimes even scared. But then, I pick myself up and move on. As Joseph P. Kennedy said, “When the going gets tough, the tough gets going.” And he was absolutely right.

We’re here on this earth to learn and be all that we can be. And how can we accomplish that, if we never give ourselves a chance?

His charcoal gray eyes were icy cold...

Opening the French doors, Christina stepped out on the balcony. She leaned over the railings but soon realized it was too high to jump. Even though she was only on the first floor, the house was built on a hill, and the ground underneath was too far.A quick glance around revealed one of the dogwood trees landscaping the yard had branches reaching her balcony. Without a second thought, she climbed over the railing and onto the thickest branch she could reach. Her heartbeat stuttered at the cracking noise. Determined, she steadied herself using another branch until her fingers touched the trunk. Despite the dizzy, sick feeling in her stomach, Christina held on tightly as she started climbing down.Only a few feet from the ground, she froze at the low, vibrating growls coming from below. Not even breathing, she glanced down to see two Dobermans staring up at her.Oh, my God! Terror washed over her. Now what? She was too weak to climb back up. As a matter of fact, she was too weak to hold on any longer. She would fall to the ground any minute, and she would be torn to pieces by those two killers growling at her. Feeling her arms letting go, she closed her eyes in panic, and a scream escaped her lips.Right before she hit the ground, she heard a voice in the distance. A sharp pain shot through her ribs and left shoulder. She lay there in agony with her eyes tightly shut, too scared to even breath. She could feel the dogs breathing down on her, but they didn’t attack.Someone approached, but Christina kept her eyes shut, feeling her heart thundering in her chest. When a hand touched her forehead, her eyes flew open. A man wearing a polo shirt and a pair of jeans leaned over her. He was dark and handsome, but his charcoal gray eyes were icy cold. While staring into those eyes, a shiver caressed her spine. He was bad news, and Christina felt the urge to flee. However, even if she managed to stand on her feet, there was nowhere to run…His lips pressed into a thin line; the man peered down at her for a moment, which to Christina seemed like an eternity. Then he stood up. At his command, the dogs backed off, and Christina heard people running from the house. She turned and saw two men rushing toward them with guns in their hands.“Take her back upstairs!” the one standing over her ordered in a harsh voice.Christina swallowed hard, feeling her mouth dry. The guy watched as the two men grabbed her by the arms and violently pulled her to her feet. Then he turned around and walked toward the other side of the house with the dogs following him. The two bullies half-carried, half-dragged her upstairs to her room and threw her on the bed. When the door closed behind them, she rolled over, hiding her face in the pillow, letting her tears from excruciating pain and fear run free...

I hope you have enjoyed this excerpt of award-winning mystery romance Dark Shadows of the Past. Keep in mind that Christina is desperately trying to conceal her real identity, and the handsome detective is fighting to protect her. But her secret won’t stay buried for long, and the truth could mean death for them both. Do you want to find out what happened to Christina?

You can accomplish anything you want if you put your mind to it

Good morning, my friends and readers.
I'm so excited today and wanted to share my news with you all. Today is the first day since my knee surgery that I was able to complete forty-five minutes of dancing aerobics followed by half an hour of Karate. It might not sound like much to some of you, but it makes me feel fantastic. Like my excellent surgeon, Mr. Pantelis Nikolaou says, "you can accomplish anything you want if you put your mind to it."

My motto has always been, "sleep well, eat well, and exercise well." Well, no problem with sleep, and I try to watch what I eat "most of the time." I do, however, indulge in some pizza or dessert now and then. But after the surgery, exercising hasn't been easy. After all, I'm not a professional soccer player to get back on the field within a few months of knee surgery.

And now that I said a professional soccer player, I need to share this with you all. Ever since my little boy was born, I've been trying to teach him my motto. He's been pretty good with exercising but doesn't like sleep that much, and he indulges in sweets and potato chips now and then.
But yesterday, BOOM! A revelation! He said, "Mom, you know what? I read an interview with Cristiano Ronaldo, and he said that to keep in top shape at his age, he sleeps well, eats well, and exercises well!"
And I'm like "What? Well, okay! If Ronaldo says so, then you should do it."
Thank you, Ronaldo!

I want to thank my family and friends for their loving wishes and birthday presents; they make me feel loved and special. And I want to celebrate this joyful day by giving some gifts to you, my friends and fans.

For those of you who love mystery, passion, and suspense as much as I do, what better gift than mystery romance novels taking place on breathtaking Greek Islands?

Happy Birthday to me and Best Wishes to all of you, my friends!

Spring is here, and I feel like giving away some books!

These last few months have been devastating for my family and me, both physically and emotionally. We had to bear the loss of my beloved father after battling Alzheimer’s for years. We went through a dramatizing burglary. And I had an accident that severely injured my knee and had to undergo surgery.

But spring is finally here, and the breathtaking display of Mother Nature gives me hope for better days to come.


It took a lot of effort to start welcoming every new day with a smile again and have positive thoughts flooding my mind.

And what makes things even better is that I started writing again. Writing for me is like the air I breathe; I need it to feel whole again.

I’m so excited about my new novel “Eternal Soul Mates”. Yes, you guessed it right; “Eternal Soul Mates” is another mystery romance in The Greek Isles Series, taking place on the amazing Greek Island of Zakynthos.



This is the first time, I write a story about soul mates and reincarnation—two concepts that always fascinated me. “Eternal Soul Mates” is filled with mystery, suspense and of course, romance like all my other novels in The Greek Isles Series and The Alluring Love Collection. But what makes it different is that my hero and heroine have a strong karmic connection. Fate and destiny contribute to a magical romantic bliss while a deadly threat is hovering over them. As danger and passion collide, the two soul mates—unaware that they were lovers in a past life—confront each other while at the same time try to resist the compelling force that draws them together.

Feeling excited about spring and my new novel, I want to give away some books!  The first ten people who post a comment below this blog post will receive a free copy of any one of my novels they want to read next.

Last night I dreamed of the Greek Island of Skopelos

It all seems like yesterday that my husband and I spent two unforgettable weeks on the fantastic Greek Island of Skopelos.


What can I say? The beauty of the landscape, the lush vegetation, the endless sandy beaches, the crystal clear waters, the sea turtles, the picturesque villages… There is just so much to remember and make me wish we could go back soon.


We stayed at Adrina Beach Resort & Spa, at Panormos Bay, a lovely beach hotel that took its name from the famous pirate woman Adrina.


According to the legend, Adrina arrived on Skopelos with her pirate ship to take over the city. But when her men were defeated by the people of Skopelos, she sank her boat in the bay so that her treasure would not fall into the hands of the Skopelites. Adrina did not make it to shore and drowned. Since then, the area is named Adrina, and many people have searched for the famous treasure, but the location of her sunken ship remains an enigma that stimulates the imagination of visitors and locals.


During our stay at this family-oriented sanctuary, with the traditional maisonettes offering a spectacular view of the brilliant blue Aegean Sea, we met a lovely couple, Stephanos and Eleanna. Of course, these are not their real names but the names I gave them in my mystery romance novel “Lethal Web of Passion”.

Stephanos was a successful Greek businessman who made a fortune in real estate. Having lost his parents at a young age, he was raised by a wealthy, authoritarian aunt.

Eleanna was born in London to an English mother and a Greek father. She used to work in London as a legal assistant until she came to Greece and met Stephanos. Another exciting thing about her was that despite her delicate and seemingly fragile figure, Eleanna was a martial arts expert.
My husband and I had lots of fun with this exciting couple, swimming, driving around the island, enjoying delicious meals, doing water sports, etc.


We got talking, and their life and backgrounds intrigued me very much, especially Eleanna’s family history. She told us about her mother coming from England and meeting her father on the island. And so, a new story formed in my head… “Lethal Web of Passion”.
Eleanna gave me the inspiration, but “Lethal Web of Passion” is a product of my imagination and doesn’t include real facts of that fascinating young lady’s life or the intriguing way she met Stephanos.

If you would like to check out “Lethal Web of Passion”, the novel is available as an e-book or paperback on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Apple, Kobo and other fine booksellers everywhere.

Book Excerpt

They lost track of time, and when they finally left the cave, they were surprised to see the sky covered with heavy clouds. Alex was alarmed and told Helena they had to get out of there immediately. That's when they heard the first thunder. They picked up their stuff in a hurry and carried it to the boat.By the time Alex started the engine, the wind was howling, and the boat was rocking pretty badly. Helena sat in the back, holding on tightly to her seat as her stomach was doing flips. Alex was fighting the wind and the waves. He was trying hard to keep the boat away from the rocks, but the wind wouldn’t let them get farther out. She wanted to help but didn’t know how as she knew nothing about boats.

It seemed they were at the same place forever. The wind got even stronger, and it was pouring down with rain. Soaked to the bone, Helena was freezing and petrified… I should have listened to Martha. She knew they would be worried about her, but nobody could come to their rescue until morning."We have to go back," Alex yielded. "There’s no way we can make it in this weather. We’ll go back and find shelter in the cave for the night."Helena knew he was right. Then again, she hated the thought of spending the night in the wet and cold cave with no supplies or dry clothes. She knew she would be sick by next morning, but better sick than dead. So she had to agree with Alex to go back. After all, what other choice did they have?

Alex was trying to turn the boat around. All of a sudden, theycrushed into the rocks. The boat rocked violently. Helena lost her balance and found herself in the water. When the initial shock was over, she started fighting for her life. The waves were pulling her under, and she couldn’t breathe…Something hit her on the back, and she screamed. It was a piece ofwood from the boat. She was already tired, so she desperately grabbed hold of it to rest her aching legs and arms. She had to find Alex.Calling out for him, she scanned her surroundings. Partsof the boat were floating around her, but Alex was nowhere to be found. She called out his name again and heard something to her right. Swimming towards there, she saw him floating a few feet away, holding on to a piece of wood from the boat. She got near him and saw he was in worse shape than her. There was blood on his forehead; he must have hit it when the boat crashed into the rocks."We have to make it to the beach," Helena yelled, in order to be heard over the howling of the wind."You go ahead,” Alex said. "I can't make it. I’m too tired already.""I’ll help you," Helena yelled at him, trying to sound reassuring."No!" he yelled back. "You go ahead. You’ll never make it with me."Helena wasn’t listening. She grabbed hold of the piece of wood he was holding on and started kicking her legs towards the beach. She was exhausted and aching all over, but she wasn’t about to give up. I have to help him. I just can’t leave him behind.

She tried as hard as she couldbut didn’t make it far. The wind and the waves were working against her. Her arms were numb, and she could no longer feel the wood beneath her skin. Her grip was weakening, and she’d been kicking for so long, that now her legs barely rippled the water with their movements. Devastated, she realized that the fortune teller had been right… She was going to die.The water felt so cold now, and after it closed over her face, she shut her eyes. Despite her desire to fight, her body could no longer resist the fury of the storm. Her lungs burned fiercely as she sank farther. Dots blurred her vision, but she could see her mother’s figure submerged just beyond arm’s reach. Erin was so beautiful, surrounded by a brilliant light that shone through the darkness. Mommy, Helena inwardly screamed,struggling earnestly to touch her mother’s extended hand…Just as she made contact, the vision gripped her wrist and pulled her upwards. Terror shot through her as she remembered that her mother was dead and not in the sea with her. As her face breached the surface, she inhaled sharply and tried to yank her hand away from whatever had caught her. She fought with a wellspring of strength she didn’t know she had...

I hope you have enjoyed this excerpt of mystery romance bestseller Deadly Secrets.

GREEK ISLAND FUN!!

I love this video.

My husband and I visited Zakynthos a few years ago, and this video brings back cherished memories of our trip.
