Overview
April Moss, a one client CPA, bored with life, living in an equally boring little town in Colorado, appropriately named, No Name, she breaks out of her tired existence by opening a Facebook account under a false identity and reinventing herself. Getting more than she bargained for, April takes a dangerous glimpse into the Dark World of Latin Gothic Poets; meeting Warrior Poets, Witches, Demons, Shape Shifting Dark World Artists, and Lucien L'Strange.
Description
Bored, lonely, urged by her best friend to open a Facebook account in order to join a Latin Gothic Poetry site, April Moss, does so, creating a new persona for herself; Lady Jane Rees, a woman of Welsh royal heritage and definitely, a woman of substance. Once April is a member of the poetry site, she discovers her best friend is not known there as Anita Metz, but as La Contessa Antonia de Alamieda, or La Reina, queen of the site. With the help of Antonia's lover, Carlotta Cardoza-Villa, a powerful Witch of the Dark Gothic World, known as the Spanish Dove, April is deceptively steered toward life eternal, and eternal love with either the handsome Dark World artist, and Shape Shifter, Pedro Medina Lindsey, or his father, Hugh Spencer Delgado Lindsey, also known as Lucien L'Strange. Once April discovers the reason for Antonia's deception and betrayal and the necessity for being a pawn on the chessboard of the Dark World game controlled by L'Strange and his partner and sometime adversary, Damien Thoth, she struggles to maintain her sanity as she navigates the alternate realities of dream invasion, dream travelling, Demons, Witches, and true evil, with a capital D. Never having been anywhere in her life, outside of the western United States, April now travels the Astral Plane, visiting locales around the world such as Buenos Aires, Argentina; London, England; and Paris, France, crossing time zones, hemispheres, and alternate dimensions, without benefit of a passport. In each of these faraway places she meets a variety of exotic, Goth and Dark World characters. Follow April as she becomes Lady Jane Rees, Autumn Moss, and then back to her own true self, April Griffiths. It is on her discovery of the Dark World, she finds out who she really is, and what her future Mortal dreams will bring her.
