I am happy to be one of the first writers to pen a positive book on Michael Jackson that includes a "fantasy" romance, games, and the most comprehensive list of Michael Jackson charities.

The name of this book is "The Love He Saved" and rather than crowd this page with the photo, press release and all - please view my website; read the press release and the resounding, national 5-star review at:

I'm happy to report that on Monday, November 9, Xlibris will release my second book - The Price of Innocence. Below is my summary.

The Price of Innocence is Vicki Hopkins' debut fiction novel, penned to tug at the hearts of many. Insightful, but delicately written, the author draws a picture of life, but allows the reader to paint the canvas of intimacies in their own imagination.

It is the tender story of Suzette Camille Rousseau, a young woman in late 19th century Paris, who makes a difficult journey from innocence to maturity. After losing a sheltered life with her father, Suzette is thrown into the harsh reality of poverty, struggling as a homeless woman on the streets of Paris. In order to survive, she faces difficult choices that offer little hope of redemption.

Her journey takes her from the charities of St. Vincent de Paul, to a local laundry house where she toils endlessly in filth and squalor. To her surprise, one of her customers is the Chabanais, the most famous brothel in France that only caters to aristocrats.

Like a fly drawn to a spider's web, the mistress of the brothel entices Suzette into a world of opulence, comfort, and beauty, but there is a price to pay—her innocence.

Succumbing to a life of prostitution, she meets a handsome English Lord who saves her from the unthinkable. When he spirits her off to another country, her past follows. A man, who refuses to forget his promise, relentlessly pursues Suzette intent on regaining her heart. He only wishes for one thing—to give her love and a life of respectability.

The author transports its readers back to another time and place, weaving facts of 19th century life throughout the story. After careful research into the existence of charity houses, washhouses, and brothels, the results make the story rich and alive. It includes laws and practices of legalized prostitution in France, as well as historical facts and information regarding the most famous brothel of its time.

In conclusion, The Price of Innocence is a stunning tale of two men, one woman, and the symbol of a flower that promises happiness. Penning heartfelt emotional journeys is Vicki’s forte, and her first historical fiction novel is sure to please its readers.

For those who haven't heard of my standing offer I would like to reiterate it here...

Any published author with a working web site who would like to exchange links (I post your link on my site and you post mine on yours) please let me know.

This is a great (and free) way to promote each other and make some new friends.

Where are your books available for purchase? Amazon? That's great but are you lost among the hundreds of millions of books there? And, Amazon takes such a large chunk of your book sales. Fine, if you do not have a way of selling on your site, and fulfilling your own orders.

What about your own web site?
Do you have a great web site?
How many people know where you are?
Is your site SEO (search engine optimized?)

The truth is, it is often better to be a big fish in a small...you know the saying. That's especially true if the idea is to be caught.


We recently announced the launch of our iFOGO Village Bookstore. (iFOGO Books) We begin humbly but uniquely. Some say our developing format is like "Ebay for Books." Perhaps a perfect description.
*Books there are linked to the author's Amazon, and/or the iFOGO.com/iFOGO Village sites or the author's site; and are displayed in a manner that engage the reader.
*Large images appear when thumbnails in the sidebar are clicked.
*The author's name appears in the sidebar and is linked to the author's site presence,
*What's more, all books are/or will soon be searchable by title and author's name.

THE ADVANTAGES ARE CLEAR
Placement in the Village BookStore will
*Heighten visibility and salability of each title;
*There is no percentage sales cost to authors,
*And authors in the bookstore will be part of a permanently featured group.

Additionally, our iFOGO.com main page will begin featuring books from authors in the BookStore.

So, take a good look, and decide to become a part of our Village BookStore.

The best web host on the planet. They host iFOGO.com

I released my first novel on August, 2009.
Title: Fawcetta: Voices and Echoes of the Coliseum Volume I

About the book:
They say dreams are for those who feel the need to be a part of something bigger. They say fantasies exist in the minds of those who are free spirited. They say illusion is what every man carries through his life until death opens his eyes.

Everyone feels the need to get away from their own lives where predictability and monotony threaten to crush their spirits. They long to escape to a place where life keeps them on their toes and the risk of losing everything is always just around the corner.

This story, which has been buried and forgotten in the waters and sands of time, has no boundaries, no safe havens. Fawcetta is a world of mystery, drama, deceit, romance, and is filled with action and adventure. The emperor of Fawcetta struggles to hold not only his empire together, but also his family. No one suspects they are being purposefully manipulated and deceived by one power-hungry man. Anger divides children from parents, loss and betrayal spurring vengeance and hatred. The fat of the once peaceful paradise is placed in the hands of a young Guardian named Kaina. She must find a way to find her soul-mate in order to open the one gate that will save their beloved planet from falling into total darkness. Othewise, Fawcetta’s days are numbered.

It is available from following websites:
Amazon.com, Authorhouse.com, Barnsandnoble.com and Borders.com
