Loiacono Literary Agency takes on Daniel C. Lorti’s series starting with The Missing Factor!

Jim Factor, an engineer turned arms dealer, is approached at a convention in Europe by a gentleman with a sweet deal: be the moderator in negotiations with a client and make over a half million dollars. Wined and dined and receiving the funds, Factor bows out, thinking, Life is good.

Then the phone rings and all he hears is, “Run!”?

A novel of deadly cat and mouse that takes you across the globe with twists and turns, eliciting many gasps. Hunted by the Russian mafia, Factor has to disappear yet hide in plain sight until…

Daniel C. Lorti has a B.S.E. (summa cum laude) and an M.S.E from Arizona State University. An aerospace engineer with military sensors, weapons, and intelligence background, he was Chief Radar Engineer for the Northrop Grumman Corporation for many years. In 1995, he was appointed to President Clinton’s twenty-member conference committee for Trade and Investment in Northern Ireland. As an international arms broker, he conducted business in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. In 2003, he and his partners sold a highly-classified aerospace company to Northrop Grumman. He currently resides in Southern California.

A writer of factual fiction, Lorti is the author of The Avignon Legacy. The Missing Factor is book one in the Jim Factor series. Next in line are The Business End, and The Mulligan. He is currently working on the sequel to The Avignon Legacy.

Dance Like You Mean It by Jeanne Skartsiaris is now available!

What if you wrote a steamy, erotic novel that was so hot bookstores couldn’t keep it on their shelves? What if you couldn’t tell anyone you wrote it?

With a mundane life as a nurse, a husband who is grazing other fields, and a daughter of an impressionable age, Cassie checks her horoscope one morning just for kicks and notices an article about romance novels and how profitable publishing could be if one could spin a good tale.

She pens Wild Rose under a pseudonym and it flies to the top of the charts, is the talk of the town, and people are clamoring to know who the author is. What would her children think if they knew? Or her own mother, who ‘taught her better’, and, worse, her husband who’d thought she’d turned back into a virgin since they’d not had sex in so long. How could she be thrown into the spotlight and still be a good mom?

Wild Rose, Cassie’s cauldron of prose, is woven through this story. Set it the 70s, it is the story of Rosemary, a beautiful photographer who wants to be recognized for her body of work, not her haunting beauty. Although, a modern woman, she is as adventurous sexually as she is with her camera and beds men like candy…until she falls in love.

Both novels parallel each other as Cassie realizes Rosemary is not so different from her.

When not writing Jeanne Skartsiaris also works as a Sonographer. Prior to that she was a medical/legal photographer for a plaintiff’s law firm. She attended creative writing courses at Southern Methodist University and is a member of Romance Writers of America’s local chapter, Dallas Area Romance Authors. Also the author of Surviving Life and Snow Globe, she lives in Dallas, Texas.  Published by Black Opal Books  Represented by Loiacono Literary Agency  Amazon
