What Would Casanova Think Of Twenty-first Century Women?

March 18, 2016 by Melissa Rea Leave a Comment

CasanovaWhat would Giacomo Casanova think of modern independent women? According to History of My Life, his memoir, he could never understand why women let themselves be dominated by their husbands or any man. He often helped some woman or another to escape from an abusive husband or lover. Of course he no doubt expected to be rewarded for his efforts and usually was, handsomely. Casanova studied medicine in his youth. Wouldn’t it be fun to read about him as he meets an ER doc in 2016? In Conjuring Casanova, Dr. Elizabeth Hillman conjures Casanova from 1774 to 2016. How much fun could that be?

If Casanova Was Italian, Why Did is Histoire de M’Vie in French?

March 8, 2016 by Melissa Rea Leave a Comment

CasanovaGiacomo Giralamo Casanova was born in Venice Italy. His greatest work, his memoir, was written in French because it was the language of the educated in his time. He spent a lot of time and money on French lessons and loved France for its liberty. Why then didn’t he spend his life there? That is story involving the Louis the King of France, a suicide, and his decking a nobleman at the opera.

Elizabeth Hillman reminds him of that fact in 2016 in the pages of Conjuring Casanova, available now for pre-order and in bookstores June 7th.

March 2, 2016 by Melissa Rea Leave a Comment

We all know that there are lots of wonderful books in this world. We sit with one on our laps and blissfully turn the pages real or electronic. We go to magical places or learn wondrous things. Too bad the real world of work, chores, and other stuff has to interfere.

Here five suggestions to keep you from doing the things you have to do. I’m glad to be among new books coming this spring from publisher She Writes Press.
