"Defy Eternity - The Scorpion Child," by Kristina O'Donnelly - known for her exotic, controversial novels - rocks at Fictionwise.com!

American author Kristina O'Donnelly is known for offering novels that are called "exotic cocktails on the Orient Express." Her multi-cultural plots include passionate love affairs, yes, but also controversial socio/political issues that are current, as well as ancient philosophies, no-holds barred human emotions, and far-flung exotic locales.

"Defy Eternity - The Scorpion Child" is a contemporary suspense/thriller about reincarnation that flows between California, New York and Istanbul, from Yesterday to a misty Tomorrow that may never dawn. The heroine, Ariadne, an American expatriate novelist married to a Turk, lives in a dangerous, exotic world, suspended on the threshold between life and death. There is also an American stage and screen star, Daniel Saxon, and Burhan, an advisor to the Turkish military junta. The plot is a cinemascopic reel of romance, high-stakes terrorism, sex, intrigue, and subtle undercurrents of mysticism and reincarnation, the concept of the latter put forward in a no-nonsense, thought-provoking manner.

"Passion, passion and more passion, but what else are you to expect from a Scorpio?!….its sting is nearly fatal! 'The Scorpion Child' will make you wish to run away to exoticism, Constantinople and romance. This Scorpio heroine keeps her head cool among a maze of love, political and karmic intrigues, while everybody else is thrown into turmoil under her intense gaze and velvety touch. Like a real Scorpio, 'The Scorpion Child' is fascinated by life and death issues, spirituality and passionately interested in sex, of course. One more time Kristina O'Donnelly masters the plot and romance while bringing us some invaluable insights, in this case about the Armenian-Turkish conflict. 'The Scorpion Child' will give you an inlook at what a terrorist mind can be made of as well. Pascale Blue, Reviewer, USA."

"…transmits a rich texture of flavors, images and suspense. Kristina O’Donnelly drew on her personal intercultural life to be able to write “The Scorpion Child”, a multi-level novel that screams to be transformed into a feature film. Already as a novel the book transmits a rich texture of flavors, images and suspense – spiked with eroticism and questions we all ask ourselves. The author painted with words, invoking a convincing story and unlike some books in the New Age category Kristina O’Donnelly treats themes such as reincarnation as well as the general cultural research with great depth and substance. This is a book for all those who dare to walk the bridges between cultures and time. Rashid Al-Taliq – writer & fusion artist - Europe."
