Moonlight Beach

Yurie Kiri’s novel Moonlight Beach won the 2020 Hollywood Book Festival’s award for Genre Fiction. Moonlight Beach is about four friends who contact the spirit of dead Native American woman and have to fight for their lives against the serial killer who had been chasing her. The second book in the series, where two of the surviving women of Rancho California take a trip to New Mexico, is called Moonlight Canyon. The third book, called Moonlight Rocks is about a battle over a meteorite that may herald the birth of a new Messiah.

Besides the Moonlight series, Yurie Kiri has also written a series of books about Japan and virtual reality games; the first book is called Tokyo Games and the second is called Osaka Games.

Dear Reader (author’s note) Please don’t think that this strange story about crime, money, power, organ donors and witchcraft sprang from my feverish brain all on its own. I have a good imagination, but it’s not that good. The truth is, one night a while back, I was sitting in Bolero’s, a Rancho California, patio-style Mexican Restaurant, nursing a margarita and waiting for an expensive Carne Asada taco plate when two women came in and sat down at a nearby table. I don’t usually eavesdrop on other people’s conversations, but it was a slow night at Bolero’s and something about these women grabbed my attention and made me turn my head slightly so that I could hear them better. I think that the part of the women’s conversation that really made me sit up went something like this, “You were a close friend of hers, weren’t you? Tell me what really happened. No one deserved to be killed like that…” As you can imagine, I tried to hear more. I took my time with my food and margarita all the while straining to hear and remember exactly what they said. Like I often do, I took a few notes on napkins and scraps of paper as discretely as possible. However, the women decided to move on before the story was finished, since one of them had promised to meet another friend at Jake’s Bar near Moonlight beach. I sadly watched them go but finished up and paid my bill as quickly as possible then I arranged my notes and filled in some of the blanks with what I could best remember. After that I went to Jake’s looking for them but I never found them again. The story that they’d told was not finished, however they had given me enough facts that I was able to fill in some of the remaining holes after some research of local public newspapers and police records. Although the following story was based upon the overheard conversation plus some research, it is a work of fiction because of certain assumptions I’ve been forced to make. Names, people, places and incidents either are the product of my imagination or are used fictitiously and any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, business establishments or locales is entirely coincidental. In some areas, the truth has also been covered up. As one of the women said that night, “You can’t believe how much money was paid to keep the details out of the local news…” Additionally, this is not a story for young readers. Certainly, you can understand that a story about several heinous crimes contains graphic scenes of violence, but this story has more. The true story was hidden, not just covered up but thickly plastered over with money so that no one could find it, for several reasons and children do not deserve to be burdened with that.

Synopsis: Moonlight Beach near the rich and sleepy town of Rancho California has been the scene of a series of either brutal murders or shark attacks. One night, two more people are murdered on a cliff overlooking the beach and now organs are missing, organs that could have been used in a transplant operation to save a person’s life. Was it another random killing, murder for hire or an attempt to extract a much-needed organ? Would someone really sacrifice a stranger’s life to give a loved one another chance at life? Rancho California’s leading venture capitalists want to start a company that provides human organs to people in need of transplants; could one of them be responsible? Then there’s a local group of witches who’ve seen and done a lot of strange things, first hand. What role do they play? Victims or perpetrators? $0.99 on Kindle.

Trapped at Brimfield with his mother’s ghost, he stalks the estate, angry and brooding, until quirky maid Mahoney Miller has a fatal accident on the spiral staircase and becomes a ghost, too. An immediate connection sparks, and the two set about making the best of an afterlife neither expected, rarely paying attention to the generations of people living at Brimfield until In 1982, when fashion designer Pauli Kotilla and his ex-supermodel wife, Tiffany, purchase the estate.

When the young Kotilla daughters, Samara and Eleni, can see and hear them, the ghosts enthusiastically embrace the divide between the living and the dead. Eight years later, showing signs of instability, Samara becomes a teenage mother. When her son, Kevin, is diagnosed with cystic fibrosis, Lorenzo must take the ultimate leap of faith, and everyone, alive and not, must find the determination and stubborn love to keep Kevin alive.

The Duzy House of Mourning

The Duzy House of Mourning

THE DUZY HOUSE OF MOURNING is the compelling story of a young woman who survived an unthinkable accident the night she was born, an accident that claimed the life of her father, and forever altered her mother who sustained a traumatic brain injury.

The book opens 22 years later. January Duzinski has been raised by her Polish paternal grandparents and works as an embalmer in their mortuary. She’s a bit of an introvert, completely comfortable with the dead, completely brilliant (like her mother was) at the piano. And she has a very conflicted relationship with her non-verbal, disabled mother, Claire.

But January’s life is about to veer off its course with the arrival of one Oscar Thibodeau—attorney for her maternal grandmother, Rose Winston, a woman January has never met, a woman who is suddenly deceased. It seems there is a Steinway concert grand piano up for grabs…and anything else that might interest January.

Thus begins January’s reluctant journey into the incredible life of her mother. Through Claire’s diaries January is introduced to a strong, savvy, confident, enormously talented girl who disinherited herself from the wealth and trappings of a life she did not want. January is also made privy to a firsthand account of her parents’ love story, and the price Claire paid to be with her Polish undertaker. For the first time, January meets the father she has only known through her Duzinski grandparents. $0.99 on Kindle.

Poetry, a Beauty

Poetry, a Beauty
All my life, I was taught to follow the leader, as they coerced my thoughts, scrubbed my mind, confined my thinking, grabbed my attention and molded my every idea, like locking a bird into a cage.

Poetry came to the rescue as it released those birds from the cage; every bird flew into the sky, chose its own paths, encountered its own winds, witnessed its own colors…

As a child at night lying in bed, I saw the stars twinkling back at me, scintillating, sparking something in my young mind. They explained this magic as just physics: stars burst, light traveled, years, decades, even centuries later it reaches you and me.

It seems like I had never felt any magic until one day, when I recalled a line from a dead poet. I sensed his words lit up the night sky for me. It came and left, nothing to do with how far they had to travel. As imagination soars with those birds into the clouds, from that moment on, I started to compile the flashing glimmers, one by one, one cluster at a time.

Through so many years I counted, there were 105 poets of the past I have compiled in “A Few Words About Stars,” in the last two chapters of this book.

I know, there are many more birds and stars.

But, I chose to stop counting and am sorry to have missed those I did not include in this tally. I pray and believe there will always be more eyes to view the stars above with wonder, and more poets to light up the night sky in the foreseeable and unforeseeable future.
