Description:
Louisa Mangotti
is a gorgeous American lawyer and Interpol expert who, after being offered a
job working with the international crime unit in Venice, receives a mysterious
postcard from the Venetian Ghosts, the ancient protectors of the Republic. But
Louisa assumes her bad-boy ex, Matteo, sent it in a quixotic attempt to gain
her attention. Louisa may have dismissed
the ghosts, but the ghosts aren’t quite done with her.
When the bodies
of two glassmakers wash up on Murano Island, the cryptic messages persist.
Reluctantly, Louisa calls upon Matteo to help decipher the clues. And before
she knows it, a flame that was never fully extinguished is rekindled. Sensing that her sister is in over her head,
Barbara Mangotti rushes to the rescue, only to be lured away by two handsome
Venetian men.
With time running out, can the two beauties
solve a crime that could threaten the city of Venice itself?

Author Interview
1. Louisa, describe
yourself in seven words or less.
Foodie, fashionista,
lawyer, Venice aficionado, insecure romantic.
2. Tell us something about
your current hometown.
Right now, I live in the most romantic place on
earth, Venice, Italy.
You can consider it my hometown because I don't plan to go back to rainy
Seattle any time soon, although it too is beautifully full of waterways and
scenic views. It also has kayaks,
speedboats and sailors, but what it's
missing is essential to me, namely, gondoliers.
3. What's the strangest
thing that has ever happened to you?
When I was a little girl, I
woke up one morning and my mom had packed up and moved out. With no warning. None. And she never came
back.
4. What's your favourite
food?
Cicchetti, also known as
Venetian appetizers. I especially love the seafood variety.
5. Can you tell us a little
about what to expect in Love Spirits?
Sexy men, romantic canals,
murder, adventure, costume balls,
Italian and Venetian dialogue, delicious food and ghosts who plant cryptic
clues within the secret world of the Venetian lagoon.
6. Can you tell us
something about yourself we don't learn from the book?
I do Brazilian wax.
7. What is your author
Diana Cachey like?
Crazy busy, generous to a
fault, wife, and aunt to dozens of nieces and nephews, including FOUR sets of
twins! Diana is a scuba diving junkie, coffee maven, Kundalini yoga practitioner,
meditator, ghost whisperer and cat lover -- well, she loves all animals really,
on land, in the air and under the sea. She is also a budding YouTube star with
over forty secrets of Venice and Italy videos. She holds an online Halloween
party every year at her website called HauntedPalooza. I told you she was crazy
busy, didn't I? Oh yea, she is also addicted to Venice LIKE ME!
8. Name five items in your
purse or pockets right now.
Let me see, today I've got
lip plumper, lash-lenghthening mascara, Euros,
designer sunglasses and condoms (wishful thinking).
9. What was your first
impression of Matteo, your Venetian ex-boyfriend.
Oh dear, this is bad
-- I thought that guy is trouble but I
want to sleep with him. Then I said to myself: yes oh yes he will be mine. Bad
move on my part.
10. If you had one chance
to change anything about your life, what would it be?
I would know my father
better.
