I am the author of 6 published books, with a 7th on the way. One book, first published as hardcover under the title "Vapors", found its way in paperback as "The Fund" and was translated into Czech ("Stiny"), Hungarian "(Arnyak"), and Russian, where it became an itnernational best-seller. The same novel also won the IPPY Gold award for best new Suspense/thriller. The e-format rights to all my books have now been bought by Admiral House Publishing, where you can purchase them.  All my books are also available at the Kindle Store and at the B&N Nook Books.

Description

<p>Sayetta is an archangel who has been sent into the physical world to seek out eight archangels who have been reborn into the world. She knows that she cannot do it in the form of an angel so she takes on a human form to move through among us in the physical world. Gabe a mortal has the soul of a warrior angel. He is reborn in physical form to prepare for her coming. He is born with abilities that he is unaware he has.</p><p>All of his life Gabe had been having dreams of a ruined church. He never knew the name of the church, but the dream was always the same. In the dream, he was standing facing the ruins of the church. But he didn’t look like a human. Instead, he was an angel with pure white wings and a golden countenance. Another much larger angel appeared to him. The angel pointed towards what was left of the door and said “Enter, your journey has just begun and your guide awaits you.</p><p>Sayetta finds out from Archangel Michael that Lucifer has sent an old demon to find and stop Auriel from removing the demons he has imprisoned in the earth.</p><p>They receive a little help from the Archangels Azuriel and Gabriel as they journey to locate Auriel. It’s a race to find Auriel before the demon does. In the end, it’s a battle between two powerful beings, one good and one evil.</p>

Story Behind The Book

It's been said that a good writer burns up the pain and passion of his life, the hurt and love and fear and courage setting fire to his pen until it's all gone and there's nothing left but ashes. I tend to believe that, although in a compartmentalized way where we can burn the pain of a past hurt but still to be sensitive to a new one, a lost love while we savor a far better one, or a night terror that, having been exposed on paper, can harm us no more. I put a line in Loving Zelda that pain is like a telephone number you recite over and over so that you won't forget it. Once you write it down, you no longer need to remember.

This is story about maintaining your own sanity as you love someone with bi-polar disorder. The lovers both reach heights of love and depths of dispair until you wonder if there's any chance they can survive the intensity of their relationship. Lots of topics for interesting discussion. I asked a friend to read it just so I'd have someone with whom to discuss it. Totally unlike the other books by DeMott. Only his smooth writing and surprise endings let you know it's the same author of the political thrillers.</span></div><div class="prod-detail-review-item-review" style="margin-bottom:10px;"><span style="font-size:11px;"><br /></span></div><div class="prod-detail-review-item-review" style="margin-bottom:10px;"><div style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;background-color:#ffffff;font-size:small;margin-bottom:.5em;"><span style="font-size:11px;"><span style="margin-right:5px;"><span class="swSprite s_star_5_0" title="5.0 out of 5 stars" style="margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;vertical-align:middle;background-image:url(http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/common/sprites/sprite-site-wide-2._V155328293_.png);width:65px;height:13px;background-position:-30px 0px;"><span><br />5.0 out of 5 stars</span></span> </span><span style="vertical-align:middle;"><strong>Made me cry AND gave me hope.</strong>, February 17, 2012</span></span></div><div style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;background-color:#ffffff;font-size:small;margin-bottom:.5em;"><div><div style="float:left;"><span style="font-size:11px;">By </span></div><div style="float:left;"><span style="font-size:11px;"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/pdp/profile/A5DR48ZM37V5Z/ref=cm_cr_pr_pdp" style="color:#996633;"><span style="font-weight:bold;">D.S.</span></a> (Fl, USA) - <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/cdp/member-reviews/A5DR48ZM37V5Z/ref=cm_cr_pr_auth_rev?ie=UTF8&amp;sort_by=MostRecentReview" style="color:#996633;">See all my reviews</a></span></div></div><div style="clear:both;"></div></div><div class="tiny" style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:x-small;background-color:#ffffff;margin-bottom:.5em;"><span style="font-size:11px;"><span style="font-size:11px;">This review is from: </span>Loving Zelda, A Story of Change, Reluctantly Told (Kindle Edition)</span></div><span style="font-size:11px;"><span style="background-color:#ffffff;font-size:small;">This story made me cry several times, and I bet that every reader will say the same thing.

I bought this book because another reviewer said she wanted to be loved like Zelda, and all I can say is: Me too.</span> </span></div></td></tr></tbody></table>
