Welcome to Litsy!

I finally have found free reading time (after one year!) in between book clubs to read this book! The wine, however, is long gone- but I saved the gorgeous bottle! The wine was delicious- I expect the book will be also!

It‘s so cool to walk in the library and see your own book standing on the bestsellers rack. It makes my hard work all worth it.

Demi Bom‘s book King of Pawns kept me so enthralled during my Balkan mountain hike, that I found any excuse to stop and read a few more pages. I probably spent more time reading and thinking about the plot than focusing on the mountain scenery. I enjoyed it so much, I read it 2x on the trip and started imagining the hikers around me were characters from the book. Going somewhere alone, bring this book along and you won‘t feel lonely!

Due to all the traveling I‘ve been doing lately, I owe a BIG, overdue thank you to @Demibom for the wine!I‘ve been dying to crack it open since it arrived and finally decided tonight is the night. Cheers Littens!!

“There was no better way to attract the attention of authorities or worse, other hired killers, than dressing like you are about to kill someone.”

Thanks @DemiBom for the delicious wine 🍷I‘ve got your awesome book 📚 to read while drinking it!

My art today for my new book “Queen of Pawns”♟🖤♟

Slavena Ivanova was on the run.

She would have been dead by now if she was not properly trained by the Central Intelligence Agency and if she didn‘t break every rule in the book.

Friend: How long does it take you to fall in love?
❤️
Me: Oh a couple of chapters usually😘

The cover of my next novel in the series of King of Pawns. YES or NO?

Behind the making of my novels. Countless hours...days...months...years....of writing and taking chess photos. I poured my soul into the series of King of Pawns. #spies #chess #dark #spynovel #psychological #newauthor #newadult #series #romance #historical #politicalfiction #noir #mafia

In Italy, working on my 3rd novel about the Italian mafia and stumbled across a great winery that just labeled me 60 bottles of Valpolicella red. Since I don‘t have any friends to drink it with, I decided to gift it to readers who enjoy reading spy/historical fiction. For the chance to get a free bottle, please send me the last sentence of my novel to demibomauthor@gmail.com (can be downloaded for free with kindle unlimited or for just $0.99)

Just received the paperback of “King of Pawns” and I love the back cover. It‘s exactly how I pictured Alexander Orlovsky. The son of an elite KGB officer with the mind of a chess master, the skills of a commando, and the looks of a playboy. Also, the killer behind the series of killings of prominent mafia bosses that swept East Europe in 2005. My favorite historical-dark romance-spy fiction for this year.

Time for some bedtime reading :)

I‘m bedazzled by the brightness of this new author. As a Veteran, I think the action scenes in this book were spot on and the book most definitely belongs in my office now. I was so tired of the Angelina Jolie type spies, that I almost gave up reading spy fiction. But the main protagonist in this book has the potential for infinite life. Down to earth, charming and so very likable. ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I‘m as excited as a dog trying to get out of a car about this book. The ending was shocking. The chess design of this novel had a gut-level emotional appeal and the power to entice readers! Very unique! There is no other spy series with such a human main character, such realistic depiction of the spy life, and such find handling of action sequences. Can‘t wait for Book 2 of the series

So, the action was about to start. Slavena put both hands to the ground and closed her eyes for a second to collect her thoughts. She felt acid in the mouth and she knew what that meant. Adrenaline.

Bring it on, Slavena whispered in the dark and snapped her eyes open.

This is the first genuine page turner I have had the pleasure of reading in years. I picked this book up on a whim and am VERY happy that I did. It was like fate.

I would recommend this book to anyone, regardless if they are a fan of the "Espionage" genre or not.

Amazon gave my new book a birthday gift—a spot in the Hot New Releases List. To celebrate, I would like to gift my book to 10 people. If you enjoy reading spy-fiction, historical fiction-dark romance, based on true events, please email me: demibomauthor@gmail.com

On page 153...I‘m thrilled with this book👍

The man whom I envisioned when I wrote:

“This is Alexander Orlovsky,” the screen on the wall flickered to life and a picture of a man‘s face emerged on the screen—young, ruthless, expressionless, and striking...
