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.
