I took her by the arm and escorted her inside.
“How’d you get tickets for this show?” she asked. “I hear everyone is dying to see it.”
“I know people in high places,” I chortled, as we sat down. “Someone was nice to me.”
“Of course someone was nice to you. You’re a wonderful girl,” she cooed. “Now if only you’d be lucky enough to meet a nice fella …”
I would’ve normally lashed out and protested the constant zings about finding a husband and how I was going to end up an old maid, but I didn’t. I felt a smile spread across my face. My mind wandered a bit as I thought about Gus Lido and launched a fantasy about our future together.

About The Author
I never expected to be a writer. In fact, I was voted the student least likely to visit a library. (Don’t believe it? Feel free to check my high school yearbook.) Well, times change, I suppose, and I have now authored several novels, including the internationally best-selling Stephanie Chalice and Chloe Mather thriller series.
Early in my writing career, I received support from none other than best-selling novelist, Nelson DeMille, who reviewed my work and actually put pencil to paper to assist in the editing of my first book. DeMille has been a true inspiration to me and has also given me some tough love. Way before he ever said, “Lawrence Kelter is an exciting new novelist, who reminds me of an early Robert Ludlum,” he told me, “Kid, your work needs editing, but that’s a hell of a lot better than not having talent. Keep it up!”
I’ve lived in the Metro New York area most of my life and rely primarily on locales in Manhattan and Long Island for story settings. I do my best to make each novel quickly paced and crammed full of twists, turns, and laughs.
Enjoy!
