A history guide for the Landry and Fabrizio families! Guide Book #1; The Origin
I
previously released a mini version of the history of the Landry/Fabrizio
families on my blog a few years ago. That blog post had coincided with the
release of The Out-Landish sisters from Baton Rouge; Diamond, Onyx and Topaz.
In
that series set of Landry/Fabrizio books, the three sisters discovered the lost
diary of their great grandmother LaLa Landry, (AKA; LaRoux Lafontaine
Landry).
So
I’ll begin with the previous history lesson and elaborate a bit more about both
families while answering some reader questions on the Landry and the Fabrizio
family:
I have also
included details about the upcoming set of Landry/Fabrizio books, which will be
released very soon.
Let’s
begin with the lineage of the Landry’s and their family history. It all started
with their great grandfather Lloyd Landry whom many thought that he was just a globe-trotting
playboy. When, in fact, he was a secret intelligence agent working undercover
for the US government. His assignments took him all over the world.
Several decades ago, during one of his mission
exploits, Lloyd found himself in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. While there, he met
and fell in love with a beautiful young Afro-French-Creole woman, LaRoux
LaFontaine, and she’d fallen just as hard for him.
LaRoux
had thick reddish-brown kinky curls that hang midway down the center of her
back. (She’d been born with red hair. That’s why her parents named her
LaRoux; the French meaning is the redhead/red-haired/reddish-brown) Her pecan-brown
skin was flawless, and her blinding white smile made his heart race. Her
mesmerizing hazel eyes shined with curiosity. LaRoux was one of the most
beautiful women Lloyd had ever seen, and she made him breathless.
LaRoux
had never seen a man as gorgeous as Lloyd with dark brown hair, a sun-kissed
skin tone, and pale green eyes, just looking at him caused butterflies to form
in her stomach. He was a tall man with a very athletic build and a handsome
face.
The
two first met at her family's lakeside café set in a rural area outside of
Baton Rouge. This area was not highly populated; however, her family’s business
was always extremely prosperous. Some have said that people found their way to
the café thanks to the LaFontaine spiritual ancestors. The LaFontaine’s over
the centuries had spelled the land in this area. Some say it was a blessing to
the family and a curse to everyone else.
Lloyd
didn’t know for sure what had guided him to the café. Still, he was glad for
whatever the reason and wouldn’t squander the opportunity. Lloyd had finally
found a woman that could stir his heart.
That
was the reason he wouldn’t take the chance of LaRoux falling for another once
completed his mission and left. So, he sweet-talked her into becoming his wife,
and with her family's permission, he quickly married.
LaRoux,
unfortunately, being so young and sheltered, she didn’t quite understand the
type of work he did. She just knew that he traveled a lot, and she wanted to
see the world. He’d promised to take her on a few of his trips, the first of
which was for a romantic getaway when, in reality, he was on a critical
mission.
Once
they made it to their destination, Lloyd spent the first two days taking Lala,
which he fondly called her, sight-seeing around the busy city where they
were staying. On the third day, it was time to begin his mission, so Lloyd left
Lala alone in their room. He told her that an emergency had come up at the
local office, and he urgently needed to handle it, promising her that he would
return in a few hours.
Lala
quickly became bored without Lloyd around and decided to go out for a bit.
That’s she wandered into a street café not far from the hotel and saw Lloyd in the
far back corner. He was in a very compromising position with another
woman.
That
night she felt an overwhelming sense of hurt and disappointment, causing her to
run away disappearing from his life. The moment Lloyd realized that she’d run
off, he began searching for her immediately, but he couldn’t find LaRoux, anywhere.
And
although he was desperate to find her, he had a job to do. So, he continued with his work as well as
searching for her at every opportunity. Unfortunately for Lloyd, LaRoux was to
good at disappearing.
So
for decades, Lloyd Landry remained heartbroken and lonely as he moved not only
around the world from place to place but also from woman to woman. Lloyd may have loved more women then he could
count, and while he freely and willingly gave them his body, he never gave them
his heart. None of the women ever realized that his heart would forever belong
to only one woman, LaRoux Lafontaine Landry.
After
having her heart shattered by the man, she loved more than life, LaRoux went
into hiding. She didn’t realize until months later that she was carrying Lloyd
Landry’s child. She was so devastated that she decided to use the knowledge
passed down to her about the black arts of witchcraft.
LaRoux
used this knowledge to perform a ritual casting a spell that would prevent him
from ever being able to fall in love with another woman. However, she didn’t
end the spell there. She made it so that he would only be able to sire sons,
and those sons would only sire sons. So for two generations, only Landry males
were born under the lineage of Lloyd Landry.
And
the second generation of sons his grandsons would only be able to sire
daughters in sets of three. Her reason for this was so that each one would
suffer at least one of the painful emotions she’d had to endure because of
Lloyd Landry.
Unfortunately,
the evil spell also affected any woman that would someday carry the Landry
name. This vengeful fate would continue until this heart-wrenching spell could eventually
be lifted.
Many,
many years later, after ending his secret spy lifestyle, Lloyd Landry returned
to Baton Rouge in hopes of finding LaRoux. After months of searching, he was
finally able to locate her; he then begged and pleaded for her to forgive him.
Reluctantly
after listening to his confession and explanation, satisfied that Lloyd had not
intentionally deceived her, LaRoux tearfully forgave Lloyd for what she thought
was a betrayal. Shortly after they reconciled, she informed him of the spell.
Understanding
her pain and anger, Lloyd once again apologized, kissing her softly on the
forehead while gently stroking a hand over her back. LaRoux agreed to remove
the curse after he loving encouraged her to do so.
Many
years had passed, and LaRoux no longer practiced the dark arts of witchcraft,
So remembering the exact ritual was very difficult for her.
So,
LaRoux decided to alter the spell the best that she could. Since she was now
much older, extremely unpracticed, and just a bit senile at times, it didn’t
exactly turn out as planned. She wanted his grandsons to find the women of
their dreams their one true love and die happily someday.
Instead,
her reciting came out: That she wanted
them to die with their one true love on their happiest day. That was the
reason that the parents of the Landry women die so earlier in life.
With
that being complete, La Roux focused on the next part of the curse. The passage
of the spell that affected the great-granddaughters of Lloyd Landry. Of course,
that would be The Landry women, and the main reason they suffered so
much pain and misery.
It
was supposed to be for them to conquer their pain, overcome every wrong that
had happened to her, and to find true love with only one man.
However,
as I said because she was now very, very old and no longer practicing the dark
arts of spell casting, wouldn’t you know that it didn’t come out as she’d
meant.
Instead,
she recited as such:
May the present
and future generations of Landry women. The ones who are and or will be the
great-granddaughters of Lloyd Landry, conquer their pain, become even stronger,
and find true love with only one clan.
That
clan just happened to be the Fabrizio family thanks to Egypt Landry’s desire to
become a mom, which led to a mishap that changed the course of all the Landry
women’s lives.
So,
there you have it; thanks to the spell cast by LaRoux because of Lloyd Landry’s
actions many years ago suffering, unhappiness and tragedy plagued the Landry
women.
However, the actions of Egypt Landry triggered the other part of the spell, making the Fabrizio family the chosen clan.
Now
before I give the updated version of the Fabrizio family, I wanted to address a
few of the questions I have received throughout this series. I get a lot of
questions in my DMs, and by email, I try to answer them all, but occasionally I
get so busy that I don’t always have the time to reply. And for that, I
apologize. I picked the five most frequently asked questions, which are listed
below.
I will try to answer them the best that I can. So, bear with me as I address each question one-by-one. And FYI, the reply to question five is a bit personal, so I ask in advance for your patience and understanding. Alright, so here we go!
Some
of the other questions I seem to get a lot of are;
1.
Why is it that the Landry women are so harsh?
2.
Do they have to be so mean to their men?
3.
Why don’t I tone down their characters just a bit?
4.
Can’t I try to make them a little softer?
5. Why do you use the word heifer so much?
So, here are my responses to these questions;
Question
#1.
First
of all, Landry women have experienced some type of hardships, heartbreaks,
and/or struggles in their lives. They all have their insecurities, heartache,
and/or pain to overcome, and one by one, they conquer their demons. As a result
of this, they become much stronger and more determined not to feel that pain
again.
So
yes, they are a bit harsh at times and very much so to the men that they
eventually fall in love with or learn to love. I hope that answers question #1.
That brings us to question #2.
I
partially answered this in the previous explanation, but I’ll elaborate a
little more. The reasoning behind this is because the Landry women believe that
if a man can’t deal with their strong-take-no-bullshit attitude, then that man
doesn’t deserve to be in their life. (Take me as I am or don’t take me at all!)
Or in the words of a Landry woman; Take me the way I am or leave me the hell
alone!
And that would bring us to questions #3 and #4
My
hope has always been that my readers would see through the course of each
story. The main Landry women characters slowly becomes a bit softer and tones
it down just a little. However, to be very clear, my Landry women characters
will never tone it down completely. At least not toned down to the point of
becoming a meek, frail, or weak woman that can be easily used, or manipulated,
or mistreated ever again.
And
if I continue to write the Landry/Fabrizio series, they will always have that
edgy, no-bullshit playful attitude with one another. It’s what makes them the
Landry women.
And
although it takes a strong-minded, self-confident, as well as a patient man to
love a Landry woman. That’s why only one family of men seems to be qualified,
and as fate would have it, that’s the Fabrizio men.
Not
only are they qualified, but they are also more than up to the task of mildly
taming and completely loving this strong clan of beautiful women.
Okay, so that answers questions # 1-4.
Now
to answer question #5.
My
use of the word heifer, I have many reasons why I use the phrase heifer, which
to me, is preferable to some of the names women call each other.
Firstly,
the word heifer is not profanity like some of the other options.
Second,
personally would much rather be called a heifer than a bitch or a hoe.
Third,
and this is the last of the reasons I’m giving, which to me is also the most
important one. The phrase heifer has been an endearment between me and one of
my older sisters for as long as I can remember.
To
be honest, this series happens to be loosely based on my two older sisters and
me. I don’t think I’ve ever told anyone about that outside my family until now.
I
love both my sisters dearly, but I was always closer to one more so than the
other. She was the middle sister, and no matter how bad things seemed, she
could always find the positive in a negative situation.
Unfortunately,
she lost her battle with cancer and is no longer with me. I felt her loss to
the depth of my soul. Her absence created a void that I didn’t know how to cope
with until my husband reminded me that she would want me to remember and
cherish the good memories.
Her
voice sounded like an angel, and she was beautiful inside and out. She even
starred in a close-up toothpaste commercial back in the ’80s. But, honey, she
didn’t take any crap. And other than my husband, she was the only one that
could deal with me when I was a bit much to handle.
You
see, like the Landry women, I’m that sister that has no filter, and I give no
apologies for that.
Her
go-to phrase to make me behave was, Aight, Lil’ heifer, don’t make me have
to strangle you! It always made me laugh, and it also let me know that she
was not playing with me. I loved and respected her for the woman she was
because she was a boss chic, raising her family and running her own business.
She
is one-third of the inspiration behind the Landry women. Our oldest sister
didn’t use the heifer phrase as much. However, she did at times and still does
occasionally—also, a boss chic who retired as the medical administrator for the
state prison system.
My
sisters and I learned our independence and confidence from our mom. Our parents
were married for more than forty years (until my father died in an automobile
accident). Mom maintained her independence by running her own business. All
while she and my father raised my two sisters,
three brothers and me. (There is only three of us now me, my oldest
sister and oldest brother)
Anyway, I hadn’t planned to write all of that, now you all know why I use the phrase heifer, in almost all of my Landry/Fabrizio books, and YES I will continue to do so. Hopefully, any of my readers who may be offended by the phrase are now a bit more understanding. And if not well, this may not be the series for you.
Now, here is a little history on the Fabrizio family; (Oh, and please read to the end because I’m throwing in a spoiler alert for upcoming Landry/Fabrizio books.)
The
Fabrizio men were all raised with the guidance of Giuseppe and Serafina
Fabrizio. Although I have told their story before, I will elaborate a bit more
because they, too, had a somewhat rocky start.
Giuseppe
was the third son of an Italian mobster who’d inherited the family business
because he was the only one that had been smart enough to go to college. When
his father realized just how ambitious he was, he knew that Giuseppe would be
the right one to take over the family business.
The
name Fabrizio caused waves of fear throughout Italy. However, Giuseppe was
determined to change that. He wanted his family’s name to be respected, not
feared.
Shortly after becoming the head of the family
company, his father informed that they’d already selected a wife for him. This
arrangement had been made by his father to strengthen their family in power and
status.
Giuseppe’s
soon to be wife was Serafina Santini, daughter of the well-known and very
dangerous Paolo Santini from Sicily. There were rumors that Paolo’s wife Samira
had been sold to him by her family while he was visiting Western Sahara on
business. The young woman had been considered evil and labeled an outcast due
to her dark skin tone and light blue-grey eyes. She was an unusual beauty.
Samira’s
family had tried to get rid of her on many occasions. However, she’d always
return, sometimes she’d come back to them a bloody mess. However, it was never
her blood; it was the blood of the men that would try to take her against her
will. She was a real fighter and always fought to win because losing would mean
the unthinkable.
Nevertheless,
the moment that Paolo had caught sight of the young beauty, he knew that he had
to have her as his very own. Somehow Samira knew that Paolo would be different
from any of the men she’d ever encountered, and she was more than willing to go
with him.
Since
Paolo had already taken over the reins of his family’s business, he didn’t care
what people would say about whom he chose to marry. Paolo used his money and
power to make sure that his wife was respected and treated as a real Santini,
anyone who said otherwise usually went missing.
Several
years later, the Santini name became even more feared than the Fabrizio name,
making him a very sought after business partner. So when Giuseppe’s father
approached him to make a deal, Paolo agreed. Of course, it was with the
stipulation that whichever one of his sons gained control of the family
company, that son would marry his daughter, Serafina.
Giuseppe’s
father knew the rumors about Paolo’s wife. Still, he didn’t care because he
would make a deal with the devil to protect his family. It also didn’t hurt
that this deal would increase the Fabrizio family power and finances by
millions.
Soon
after Giuseppe took over as the head of the company, he reluctantly met
Serafina. He fell head over heels in love with her in just a few short weeks.
Although it took her a bit longer to warm up to the idea of marrying Giuseppe,
once he turned on the charm, she quickly changed her mind.
He
relayed his wish to legitimize his family business, and she admitted that she
wanted the same for her family’s business as well. The two of them tried to
change the image of both their families, from fear to respect. Unfortunately,
things don’t always go as planned, which he quickly found out after taking
control of the company. In no time at all, he learned that both of their
families had more enemies than he could count in a month of Sundays.
However,
it wasn’t until Serafina was kidnapped a few days before their wedding by a
ruthless rival of both the Santini and Fabrizio families that he genuinely
understood what it meant to be a Fabrizio. He realized that men like his father
and Paolo had to go to great lengths to keep the family safe from people that
wanted to hurt them. He also realized that families with lots of money and tremendous
power would always be targeted by people who wanted to take it away to take
their place.
Giuseppe
had yet to learn the connections he needed to call in favors to have Serafina
rescued. At that moment, he felt both helpless and useless, so he made a
promise to his father and Paolo that once Serafina was safe in his arms, he
would never be weak again. Giuseppe would make the two families more respected.
However,
leaving the fear others felt when hearing the names Santini and Fabrizio was
now part of his plan for the safety of his loved ones. He finally understood
that letting others feel a bit of fear could be a good thing when it was
needed.
Paolo
had to call in a big favor to contact the only people that would be able to get
his daughter back, the Dubois’. Of course, they were reluctant to meet with
Paolo but agreed since Serafina’s life was in jeopardy. The Dubois’ were able
to rescue her safely, but they had to use deadly force to do so. They got
Serafina back just in time for her wedding, and the Santini’s, as well as the
Fabrizio’s, had made a new ally in their fight to protect their families.
(In
case you forgot, this is the connection between the Fabrizio’s and Nicolette
Dubois-Romanov. From the Russian Royalty series! Her parents rescued Serafina
just as they did with Olga)
A
few short years after Giuseppe and Serafina’s wedding, the two of them merged
both of their family’s illegitimate companies. They turned it into the
legitimate empire that it is today. Very few people knew that Serafina was
Giuseppe’s secret weapon when it came to making smart business decisions. Sera
was a fast learner, and she knew how to run a business because Paolo had taught
her everything he knew. Serafina had used that knowledge to help create the
Fabrizio Empire. She was quick to realize an opportunity that would make a
great deal of money.
Of
course, she was also Paolo Santini’s daughter, so she did have a ruthless side
when it came to protecting her family. But then again, so did Giuseppe this was
a trait they passed down to all of the Fabrizio children, especially the males.
That’s
why to this day, Fabrizio men never make a threat that he can’t deliver on, and
he never makes a promise that he can’t keep.
A
strong woman can only be matched by a man with a passion that is equal to her
strength. Taming the heart of a Landry woman was a task that only a Fabrizio
man could undertake and succeed.
And
by tame, I do not mean controlled as my readers can see with my character’s
love and passion can soften the hardest of hearts. Many of the women in my books overcome
painful obstacles in life before finding the love of the right man. However,
protecting their family will always be their number one priority that includes
protecting their men.
So
love them or hate them. The Landry women will always be beautiful, sexy, and
passionate, as well as sassy, brassy, and classy. And there will always be a
hot, gorgeous Fabrizio man that loves them.
So
that was a quick “refreshed updated” history lesson on the Landry women
and Fabrizio men. I sincerely hope this helps you as my readers understand not
only these characters, but I also hope that you know me a bit more.
Please feel free to send me an email or DM if you have any more questions or if you’d just like to share your thoughts on this or any of my books and/or blog posts.
For
me as a writer, I can only say this;
I
have and will continue to remain dedicated to writing about strong, smart,
passionate multi-cultural women. Mainly because I want my daughters to know
that these traits are not optional; they are a necessity. Every woman deserves
to be loved and happy but not at the cost of being mistreated and/or used.
A
woman’s self-respect, self-confidence, and self-worth should never be disregarded
or disrespected for any reason. Strong women raise strong families.
It
was a blessing from the good Lord, a strong will, and the love of my husband
and family that got me through losing my sister and then Breast Cancer and all
the unpleasant horrors that came with it. That includes the treatment and side
effects. I won the battle, but it’s a daily struggle to maintain good health,
so strength is a must for me and all of the survivors like me.
For
all of you that enjoy reading my books, especially the Landry/Fabrizio series,
thank you for supporting my work. You all have my heartfelt appreciation, as
well as my sincere thanks. As long as you all keep reading what I write, I’ll
keep writing for as long as I can.
Until next time Peace, Love, and Happy Reading!
Oh,
yeah, I almost forgot spoiler alert in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1…..
Okay, so it’s not exactly a spoiler alert. It’s more like an informational, Ah-Ha moment! Alright so let’s start the count again, here we go 5, 4, you know what forget it I’ll get on with it.
So,
some of you probably wonder how Lloyd Landry could have so many offsprings!
Right? See, you guys have questions, and I’m here with answers.
It had been a well-kept secret that few people knew, but I’ll reveal it to you all now.
Lloyd
Landry had a twin brother named Lowell Landry, who sometimes took his place on
missions. Not many people could tell the two apart. They were virtually
identical, with a few slight differences.
Of
course, Lloyd was the one that LaRoux fell in love with, and he loved her as
well, but it was Lowell that she saw with the other woman. Lloyd was meeting
with his contact in a different location at the time. It wasn’t until he
returned to the hotel that he realized that LaRoux was missing.
His
brother, Lowell’s very existence, was a government secret because he was
supposed to be dead. Lowell had been captured and tortured after being named
the ambassador for a foreign country. Lloyd had felt that something was wrong
when he began feeling extreme pain for no reason. A short time later, news got
to Lloyd about what had happened to his brother, and he broke every rule known
to man to save his brother.
It
wasn’t until after Lowell had recovered from his injuries that Lloyd agreed to
receive punishment for his actions. Lowell made a deal to work along beside
Lloyd to save him from punishment.
The
agency quickly agreed they knew having both of the Landry bothers in the
organization was better than having neither of them. That was why they were not
allowed to be seen together in public. It was easier for them to accomplish
their missions that way.
The
fact that they were identical twins, their fates were intertwined, being able
to feel each other's pain at times. Lowell could feel how heartbroken Lloyd was
at losing the woman he loved. Lowell had been looking forward to meeting LaRoux,
and now he felt responsible for what had happened.
Although
he’d only been doing his job, the secrecy of their assignment had cost his
brother dearly. He vowed never to fall in love until his brother Lloyd was one
day reunited with the woman that he loved. Lowell owed his brother his life,
and he would repay him if it took the rest of his life.
So,
although Lloyd and Lowell Landry lived as one man using the same name to
accomplish the missions they were assigned. The effect of losing LaRoux caused
them both to suffer, and because they shared the name Lloyd Landry for years,
both of the brothers were cursed.
The
spell LaRoux cast was bound to the name, not the man. Neither Lloyd nor Lowell
questioned nor wondered why they didn’t fall in love because that wasn’t part
of their plans. Of course, they weren’t heartless men. Both men cared about the
women they got involved with, and they always made sure they were well taken
care of financially. That was all they could offer them, never their hearts.
Lowell didn’t release himself from the promise he’d made to never fall in love until his brother found and reconnected with the love of his life. Shortly after Lloyd found LaRoux and explained the misunderstanding that had separated them, she forgave him. That’s when Lowell quickly found a love of his own right there in New Orleans and lived out his final days happy and blissfully. So, when it’s all said and done, the Landry women are bound by blood, sisterhood, and love. And with each set of new Landry sisters/cousins/women, the bond strengthens as the love grows, and painful memories they’ve experienced heal. Thanks to the love and support they get from each other, as well as from the Fabrizio men.
Of
course, as we all know, the Landry women were not easy women to deal with on
any level. So, the men in their lives would have to put up with a lot. Not to
mention, be able to deal with all of the Landry women. They were an
ever-growing sisterhood, just as the Fabrizio men were a tightly bonded clan of
men no one should cross.
The men in their lives would also need to have tough skin because the Landry women would definitely test their patience. That means they would have to have specific qualifications.

Players, Womanizers and self-centered assholes need not apply.
It may seem like they’re asking for a lot, but in actuality, they are only asking for what they feel they deserve as women who have been through a whole hell of a lot. To this day, thanks to a crazy curse, only the Fabrizio men have been able to fill all the needs and criteria.
The
Landry women had to learn to love themselves before trying to love anyone else.
If you remember, the curse may have eventually brought the Fabrizio men.
However, it brought them pain first. The things that each of them experienced
made it hard for them to trust outsiders. It also made it hard for them to love
anyone except each other.
All
of their experiences as made them stubborn, independent, and fierce when it
came to defending and/or protecting their family. It hasn’t always been easy,
either, especially on those occasions when life would knock one or all of them
down.
However,
they always picked themselves up and learned to fight back. A motto the Landry
women live by; Life may knock you down, but as long as you land breathing,
never let it take you out. Fight back with everything you got and then some.
Life should not be measured in dollars or possessions. It should be measured in actions or deeds. So, live every day like it’s your last, and make the most of every moment. That is the ultimate lesson that the Landry women learn when they fall in love with a Fabrizio man.
Each
of the Fabrizio men is determined to find that special woman destined for them.
One that wasn’t driven by money or fame. Most of the women they encountered
only saw dollar signs when they heard the Fabrizio name. That alone made them
determined to hit the jackpot by snagging an ultra-rich husband.
The
Fabrizio men wanted and needed women that were strong enough to deal with the
type of men they are but also compassionate enough to make a family with them.
Fabrizio
men were looking for wives that were confident, sexy, and sassy, the sassier,
the better. Women that would bring excitement to their busy lives, one that
would keep them guessing and on their toes, never knowing what to expect next.
Women that understood the importance of family and was classy in public and NO
HOLDS BARRED in private.
Fabrizio
men didn’t believe in divorce when they say “I Do,” it means forever.
So, that meant for the rest of their lives. They had specific qualifications
that needed to be met, such as the following;

Gold-diggers, attention-seekers, and clout-chasers need not apply.
It
was fate that brought the Landry women to their lives (along with the help of a
vengeful curse). Whatever the reason, the Landry women were the only women that
filled all the criteria they were looking for in a woman.
So,
I guess you could say that it was inevitable that they would eventually form
what is now the Landry/Fabrizio clan. And with their joined forces like their
love for family, their business savvy talents, and their zest for life, they
live life to its fullest.
They are raising their children lovingly and happily as they meet new and exciting people along the way. They are also giving back to the community. And to the needy through their various charities is a key priority.
In the future, I will begin introducing you all to the Landry/Fabrizio children as
they grow into adulthood. However, until then, I have more Landry women and
Fabrizio men to introduce you to first.
And, for now, that brings us to the next set that will be released soon; “Protect, Serve and Conquer” Their careers will be focused in and around the firefighter industry.
The
Landry Women from a Southern area of Canada near Lake Huron;
Maxine
“Max” Landry, a Fire Department- Lt. Command
Joanna
“Jo” Landry, a Paramedic Field Chief
and Samantha “Sam” Landry, a Pyrotechnician
The
Fabrizio men from the Northern area of Michigan near Lake Huron;
Maximillion
“Max” Fabrizio- Fire Chief and Arson investigator
Jaxson
“Jax” Fabrizio- Fire Captain Inspector
And
Saxson “Sax” Fabrizio- Fire Lt. demolitions experience
Soon to be released book #1 Icy Blaze; Max’d Out. Don’t miss how things get a bit complicated as well as confusing when Maxine Landry and Maximillion Fabrizio are forced to work together to solve a case involving a serial arsonist and deal with two ex’s hell-bent on stirring up trouble.
Alright,
everyone, that’s it for now, but more updates to come as the release date gets
closer. Thank you for your patience, for your understanding and for reading my work.
Until next time! Be safe, Be Blessed, and Take care!
