Born in a brothel in Paris in the early 1700s, Madeleine's
future had been decided by her courtesan mother and Madame Claudine. Her
innocence at age fourteen would be sold to the highest bidder. She’d be treated
as a usable and disposable toy to fulfill her patron’s every perverted desire
until he tires of her. Then she’d become a courtesan to entertain anyone who
visits the brothel.
Madeleine dreams of a better future. She runs away and finds
temporary refuge in a convent, but she doesn’t have too many options when she
turns eighteen. Either going back to the brothel, becoming a servant with an uncertain
future, living her life as a nun, or becoming a filles à la cassette, one
of the King’s Casket Girls, since no reputable man would marry her in France
with nothing to her name. To escape her gloomy future, she
sails to the New World with hopes for a better life.
What will her future hold? Will she find happiness?

It has been a long run with many authors participating in the blog with 792 interesting blog posts since 2017. The blog had 379,998 visitors who left 1248 comments.
However, three of our blog posts had been reported as malicious content and removed yesterday without warning the admins of the blog and without explanation. There is nothing wrong with censuring and flagging dangerous or malicious content, God knows there are plenty on blogs and social sites. However, when the authors don't even have a chance to find out why their posts had been removed without warning and what could have been offensive about the posts, it goes a step beyond censorship. It also really takes the fun out of writing new blog posts.
Although the posts had been reinstated, our enthusiasm to connect with readers on this blog is gone.

After many years of being a "struggling" actor in LA, I turned to writing. I have had several novels published: "I'm No P. I."; "A Ghoulish Good Time"; "The 13th Hour"; "Being a P. I.--Again". I have had MS for serval years now; I know physical and mental pain; so I need much laughter to endure it. Hopefully, my novels do just that--give much laughter.
