The scent of jasmine on a sultry summer night, a garden of roses in full bloom, dancing in the
rain, having your cards read by a fortuneteller named Madame Rosa ... fate, romance,
suspense ... all these and more await you in the romance novels and short stories of Lara
Dien.
Some of my favorite
things:

In addition to the above (hey, why not
write about things you like!):

  • books (of all sorts)
  • politics (of the liberal sort)
  • sexy men (of the intelligent
    sort)
  • hot stories ... especially of the
    romantic sort!
What's new:
Cover for The Fortuneteller's Lay!



















  • My first short story, The Fortuneteller's Lay, is due out in 2008
    from The Wild Rose Press. No release date yet, but a nice hot
    cover to keep it on your list!  Until then, you might want to check
    out some of the erotic romance in the Scarlet Rose line: www.
    WilderRoses.com. As soon as it's available, I'll post an
    excerpt. For now ... well, remember that part about Madame
    Rosa!

Here's the blurb:

Miranda knows it was fate that brought Devon into her fortunetelling tent,
fulfilling her grandmother’s prophecy. But the sexy detective doesn’t believe in
fate – he’s just looking for a hiding place while he figures out his next move.
Can Miranda convince him that love is really in the cards?

Featured Tarot Card : Hah! I pulled
the King of Water/Soothsayer
card (this is from the Wild Spirit
deck) in a purely random, from the
middle of the deck, pull. The
interesting part of this is that this is
the card featured in my upcoming
short story, "The Fortuneteller's Lay."


The King of Cups, traditionally, is
the God of Love, although that's a
description that does not give
him his due. More accurately, he
symbolizes the mastery of
emotion, not in a controlling way,
but in the sense of, say, a Zen
master. The card also symbolizes
psychic mastery -- a fitting card to
be at the center of "The
Fortuneteller's Lay."
