There is nothing in common between the king of France's brutal suppression of the Knights Templar Order in 1307 and a small, backward, closely knit community of serfs living in the rural island of Malta who are dominated by religion and superstition. Until Jacques, a Templar knight who manages to escape the wrath of the French king, sails away from France to seek refuge in Sicily but got lost in a storm and lands his battered boat on the shore near the serfs' hamlet. For centuries, the serfs' sexual deprivations and close association with their farm animals has driven them to practice unnatural sexual intercourse with their animals and with members of their families, and even with the local priest, perversions of bestiality and incest which, however, they manage to keep as a close secret within the confines of their community. This ancient way of life suddenly faces the unthinkable hazard of exposure when Jacques becomes fascinated with Maria, a young, beautiful, and unblemished goatherd, and inevitably they both fall in passionate love with each other. This attracts the envy of the rest of the hypocrite inhabitants, especially the females, who fail to recognise the chasm that exists between their sexual perversions and the normal sensual attraction between a man and a woman in love. Maria and Jacques are persecuted and forced to flee, and they sail to the safety of Palermo, in nearby Sicily where they marry. While Maria vows to return someday to avenge herself on her compatriots, would she, a simple goatherd, succeed in coping with the vastly different town life in cosmopolitan and fashionable Palermo? A compelling novel about love, hate, war, sex, and revenge in a medieval society.

To be honest I will miss the feeling of his cooling touch and I am where I want to be. I am with Marrick, the vampire that I want to spend the rest of my eternity with.

This is the third volume in the "Chez Vicalle series." The original story line continues, but this volume is built around an idiosyncratic motion picture maker who has decided to bring to the screen a classic work of that author (1879-1958) who Jack Woodford (1893-1971) once described "As the greatest writer of fantasy still undiscovered by the Wise Men of the West." He noted further that that writer was "probably the least commercial writer in the United States of his time and was a marvelous model for any writer because of his adeptness in using the exact phrase."

The story takes place in the middle of the World War Two period starting in September 1943 in a place now known as "Lost Cove" just outside of a small Tennessee town by the name of Hamilton deep inside the Great Smokey Mountains. Margaret Fay Kidwell and Anna Marie Carter, daughters of lumbermen living in Lost Cove had decided to make some changes in their lives by leaving the Cove in search of employment in Baltimore, Maryland with the Glenn L. Martin Aircraft Company to help with the War effort. Hamilton, Tennessee didn't have very much to offer young people as far as employment was concerned so most of them drifted off to other locations. Neither of these two girls wished to become housewives raising children and to be stuck in the Cove for the rest of their lives. Anna Marie had read an article in a newspaper she found giving details of employment in Baltimore. She begged and pleaded with her dearest friend Margaret Fay about leaving, telling her since Jeb, her boyfriend and a tobacco farmer that had been drafted into the Army and was serving overseas and her boyfriend Jim had been killed at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 it was their patriotic duty as citizens to do what they could to help with the war effort. With very little money and a lot of nerve these two young, inexperienced country girls from Tennessee left the Cove for Baltimore not knowing if they would be hired to work, if they could find a place to live or if they would even get there. With a lot of determination, their life long friendship and lady luck riding on their shoulders they started a new life for themselves. With the help from newfound friends they were able to achieve what would turn out to be a very interesting and exciting adventure.

The book is an account of the amatory adventures of a young man growing to become an adult in a rural village. Although the place and time are imaginary, it is an idealistic and fanciful impression of what life would have been in the rural England of several centuries ago.

His escapades range between the odd, the humorous, and the ridiculous, but are always sensual. It begins with his childhood as an indentured farm worker, and follows him to his independence, when he moves into his own home in the heart of the village.
