About this ebook
A few years ago I found my grandfathers accordion in my parent's attic, it was old, really old, beautiful and very unique. I started researching the accordion. I contacted the Sopriani Company in Italy. This accordion was very old and rare. The early accordions spread through Europe from fairs, traveling merchants and soldiers returning from wars. My research inspired this book.
Late 1800's a war between Austria and France, fought in Northern Italy. A handsome cavalry officer falls in love with the beautiful daughter of a traveling musical instrument merchant. The young officer and the beautiful young girl find a deep bond and a connection to an accordion, but the war separates the couple. Plagued by the mental and physical trauma of the war, with his memory clouded the officer Stephan Marcinek returns home to the Ukraine. He struggles to clear his thoughts, until a romantic song played on an accordion jogs his memory and he goes on a frantic search to find his lost love. The search moves beyond their lifetimes, through the decades and from Italy to America. The accordion finally brings them together almost one hundred and fifty years later and half a world apart. But the complications of modern life once again tears them apart and once again a frantic search to find a lost love.

I have two passions Hawaii and writing. I visited Hawaii about five years ago and I became a Hawaiian nut, I read everything that I could find about these magnificent Islands. I even grow pineapples, I live in Illinois and I successfully grow pineapples. When my daughter and just about everyone else seemed to be consumed with vampires, something clicked. The mythologies of Hawaii and vampire's lore are a perfect blend. The question is why a vampire would go to a tropical paradise best known for its magnificent sunshine. Absolution is the answer, a complex troubled vampire seeking his own absolution. Vampires have long been intertwined with Christianity, absolution of sins is a tenant of Christianity and many of Hawaii's ancient sites are known for sanctuary and absolution, tying together vampires and Hawaii.
