Both books are great reads and page turners.<br />We would be happy to provide you the books in Kindle/Mobi or ePub format. <br />Please let us know if we can send you a copy.<br />Thanks very much for your consideration. <br /><br />1. Orphan of the Olive Tree - A family saga set in 13th century Tuscany Italy<br /><br />A deeply evocative story of lies, secrets, and betrayal, Orphan of the Olive Tree is a family saga of two unforgettable women, an oath sworn in blood, a curse uttered in envy, and the dark secret that destroys their lives. From two neighboring villas in the heart of the Tuscan countryside to the elegance of Siena; from a world steeped in ancient superstitions to a culture where family honor is paramount comes this multi-layered novel of the lives, loves, secrets and strivings of two women and their families in the 13th century. Felicia Ventura is an unpretentious woman, alone in the world, who is happily married to Enrico. She dreams of a simple future raising a family, but her hopes are shattered because of a curse and the casting of the evil eye by her envious neighbor, a Sicilian beauty named Prudenza. Prudenza is worldly and materialistic and her envy of Felicia knows no bounds. She casts the evil eye on her adversary. When Felicia gives birth to twin sons, Prudenza revives an ancient superstition and spreads a rumor that Felicia’s twins were fathered by different men. Soon, Prudenza gives birth to her own twins - daughters. Desperate to save face, Prudenza rids herself of one infant, keeping the child’s existence secret. But as the years go by, the truth has a way of making itself known. Soon Prudenza’s deception will lead to the unraveling of everything she values in life. Orphan of the Olive Tree is an unforgettable novel about wicked intentions, superstition, undisclosed secrets, unstoppable destinies; and two generations of women and the extraordinary event that will vindicate or destroy them.<br /> <br /><br />2. The Contessa's Vendetta<br /><br />To be buried alive is everyone’s worse nightmare.<br /><br />A deadly plague is killing thousands in 17th century Vicenza Italy. Contessa Mancini struggles to protect her family and servants, but despite her precautions, she is the one who falls prey to the deadly illness. Her body is tossed into a coffin and swiftly buried in the underground, dank confines of her family’s vault.<br /><br />But Contessa Mancini is not dead. No, she is very much alive. She awakens terrorized, trapped in dense darkness surrounded by the flimsy wood of the coffin they buried her in. Desperate, she claws and kicks until she escapes its stifling restraint, only to find herself trapped in the mausoleum with the decaying bodies of her ancestors. As she seeks to escape, she discovers a vast treasure of gold, silver, and gems secretly hidden in the vault by brigands, and the secret tunnel they used to hide it there. <br /><br />Free at last, she returns home to her beloved husband, her best friend, and her darling daughter. But before she reveals herself to her loved ones, she learns of an endless series of lies, deceits, and betrayal. As she unravels the labyrinth of shocking treachery, her wrath breathes life to an overwhelming need for vengeance. Slowly, meticulously, she launches her diabolocial vendetta.<br /><br />The Contessa’s Vendetta is a retelling of the classic novel, Vendetta by Marie Corelli. Inspired by this epic story, the author weaves her own captivating tale in a new setting, a new century, and with new plot twists while remaining faithful to the key story elements.Mirella Patzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14928081276314403541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8870495776853211315.post-25824082627517463662012-08-14T15:32:14.825-07:002012-08-14T15:32:14.825-07:00Mike, it's okay to ask here, no problem. Thank...Mike, it's okay to ask here, no problem. Thanks for the offer, but I never take jobs from online contacts, besides I'm too busy with a project that I missed the deadline twice. <br /><br />However, if you post the exact hard drive model I can try to see if I can help you online. If the hard drive still functions, there are few things you can do to access the data yourself. It's not that hard, as long as the hard drive has a controller that can be accessed. Unlike the Western Digital 2TB, which comes with a custom made one.

I saw your review of the Western Digital 2TB drive on Amazon and figured I would try to contact you.<br /><br />I have a dead Iomega 1TB raid drive that needs help. Still spins up, but the comp won't recognize it. I took it to a sketchy data retrieval place, but they quoted me $4800 to get anything back. I can't afford that.<br /><br />If you are interested and think you can help me cut that cost to much, much less I would love to hear back from you.<br /><br />You contact me at whoisanon@hushmail.com.<br /><br />Sorry for being off topic on your blog!<br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />MikeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
