Author Vivienne Diane Neal's review of "The Last Firefly"
"What an extraordinary read. After waiting so long for this book to come out, the wait was well worth it. Protagonist Camille Sheridan, a straightforward, compassionate, and nurturing PI is asked to investigate an attack on a woman, supposedly, committed by her childhood friend, Luke Samuels.
What starts out as a problematic case, develops into a cat and mouse game overflowing with some loveable, eccentric, sleazy, and egotistical characters, and murder, and when her associate, investigator Layla Li comes into the picture, a well-executed plot will expose some shocking revelations, secrets and lies, twists and turns, police misconduct, building up to an ending you will never see coming. What makes this story so great is seeing two intelligent women who can hold their own in any dangerous situation. The author also touches on some major societal issues, namely, domestic violence, gay bashing, and misogyny."The Last Firefly

"Meet Me Under The Lavender Sky."
Passage from "Meet Me Under The Lavender Sky."
Wen‘s name was a daily fixture in the tabloids; due to his incredible good looks and wealth, he was one of the most sought after bachelors living in Seoul. Although he frequented the club scene and was surrounded by women and hangers-on, Wen felt an unbearable sense of loneliness. He always wanted something more meaningful. Then, like a whirlwind, Jasmine came into his life.
About the book:
Some people think because a couple has been together for a long time or because they may have children, that the romantic spark has faded. That may be true in some cases, but it certainly isn’t the case for Jasmine and Wen. They’ve never lost their sense of adventure when it comes to their sensual encounters.
This book was told from Wen’s point of view; it’s very reflective and we find out what makes him tick. Wen has Jasmine dialed in and vice-versa. It was fun watching them trying to outwit each other.

Why do I write?
I don’t write for fame or fortune. I don’t write based on trends. I write because I have a story to tell; a story to share. My new mystery novel features a multiracial cast. There is an underlying love story beneath the mystery. I wanted to explore a pure love. A love that regardless of time or distance would endure. Someone suggested that I make my male lead white because “Interracial love stories sell”. Yeah, maybe, but that’s not how I pictured the characters in the story.
I would rather tell the story the way I envisioned it, than change it to possibly sell a few more books. I think people in general are sophisticated enough to appreciate a good story regardless of the race of the characters. As an avid reader myself, I'm pulled in by the story and how well it's conveyed on the written page. It doesn't matter if I share the same ethnicity, physical attributes, gender, etc., with the main characters.
