Book Description:
The 19th century's most infamous
party-girl is undead and on the loose in the Big Apple.
When 23 year-old Parisian
courtesan, Marie Duplessis succumbed to consumption in 1847, Charles Dickens
showed up for the funeral and reported the city mourned as though Joan of Arc
had fallen. Marie was not only a celebrity in in her own right, but her list of
lovers included Franz Liszt – the first international music superstar, and
Alexandre Dumas fils, son of the creator of The Three Musketeers. Dumas fils
wrote the novel The Lady of the Camellias based on their time together. The
book became a play, and the play became the opera La Traviata. Later came the
film versions, and the legend never died.
But what if when offered the
chance for eternal life and youth, Marie grabbed it, even when the price was
the regular death of mortals at her lovely hand?
In 2014, Marie wonders if perhaps
nearly two centuries of murder, mayhem, and debauchery is enough, especially
when she falls hard for a rising star she believes may be the reincarnation of
the only man she ever truly loved. But is it too late for her to change? Can a
soul be redeemed like a diamond necklace in hock? And even if it can, have men
evolved since the 1800′s? Or does a girl’s past still mark her?
Blood
Diva is a sometimes humorous, often dark and erotic look at sex, celebrity,
love, death, destiny, and the arts of both self-invention and seduction. It’s a
story that asks a simple question – Can a one hundred ninety year-old
demimondaine find happiness in 21st century Brooklyn without regular infusions
of fresh blood?
