Synopsis
Two men engage in an altercation in a movie lobby. Later one of the men turns up dead in a New York City alley. But this is no ordinary murder. The deceased is a sex demon and his fellow combatant was the werewolf, Jean-Claude Roué, fiancé of Mark’s shape-shifter secretary. Now the werewolf is accused of his murder and faces a trial by before a supernatural tribunal. If Jean-Claude is convicted for causing this death it will mean his execution. This time however, Mark Julian is away on a personal investigation in Kenya so Tortego, the crafty vampire chief, goes to an unusual source to secure help. Using his powers as head of New York City’s supernatural community he appoints Mark’s human partner, Detective Vincent Pasquale, to be one of the three judges for Jean-Claude’s trial. Now Vinnie must not only fight to clear his friend, Jean-Claude, he must deal with his supernatural co-jurists: the werewolf Viola Lupa and the sex demon Dale Carter. Both of his companion judges are on record as sworn enemies of “any mixed supernatural mating.” Throw in a shifty shape shifter named Andelan Clarke, Ja-ne the original Oracle of Delphi and, a sexy TV newsman from the island of Guernsey who appears to be more interested in bedding Vinnie than nailing a story and it truly becomes “The Case No One Foretold!”

Mark Julian And The Golden Thread
First I want to take this opportunity to thank Love Bytes for asking me to furnish a guest post. Blogs such as this fill the void those small bookstores once occupied. You provide a platform for authors such as myself to reach new readers. I cannot adequately express my profound gratitude.
My name is L.G. Fabbo-Gonnella. I am the author of the Mark Julian Vampire PI mystery series. My post today will focus upon a topic I’ve never posted about until now. Something I refer to as “The Golden Thread” that runs throughout every book in my Mark Julian mysteries.
When one writes a series it helps, at least for me, to have a sole concept that is the foundation, which underlies all the others that appear in the various books. An idea that ties them all together and which, I call, “The Golden Thread”. For me it’s simply this: love. Everyone and every event is motivated by it in each of my books.
That is the hidden arc in my books. The characters act they way they do because they love. Events in the books unfold in the ways they do because they were set in motion by a love that was desired or to protect. Now this “love” can take many forms. For some in the world of Mark Julian it’s the love they feel towards another character. For others it’s a love of power that guides their interactions or plotting e.g. to acquire it or protect it from attack. As you read the books, try to keep this concept in mind. If you do, you will soon realize that, while the numerous inhabitants act in a variety of ways, the single principle guiding them is love.
I will end this post by also revealing one last personal secret to my Mark Julian books. Someone once said an author leaves a bit of themselves in the books they write. This is true in my case too. A rather insightful friend once told me my books reveal my hidden love affair with New York City.
Guilty as charged. I adore my city. It is a tumultuous relationship. At times the city does exasperate me. But, I will never stray. When I’m writing the scenes for my books I try to bring to the reader a view of each of New York City’s unique areas. I want you to fall in love with my city too. So, in the final analysis, though the numerous concepts of love are the thread holding together the events and inhabitants of my created world, it is my love for my city that is the pulsating secret heart of that Golden Thread.
Prizes: 2 bundles of books one & two in the Mark Julian, Vampire P.I. series; 3 copies of Book One in the series, The Case of the Choirboy Killer
More in the Mark Julian, Vampire P.I. Series
While each individual mystery can be read as a stand along, there are storylines that continue from one book to another, so we recommend you use the series in order:
Book One – The Case of the Choirboy killer
Book Two – The Case of the Strega’s Touch
Book Three – The Case of the Heavenly Host
Book Four – The Case of the Vampire Hunter
L.G.Fabbo-Gonnella is a resident of NYC. He has often said Manhattan is the underlying unspoken character in many of his books. “I guess its a love affair that I have with her,” he once said. “I could live here forever and yet still find magical things about her that I never knew existed.
When not seeking out interesting new locales for his books he can be found dinning with friends and enjoying all the city he adores has to offer.
Though he has not yet met the supernatural denizens of NYC, he does hope too one day. And yes, there is a “letter Lounge” albeit under a different name.
