Major Arcana: sex, love, and Tarot

Rosemary has just been dumped. Again. In desperation, she follows her sister's advice and decides to undergo a process of self reflection with one simple tool: a deck of Tarot cards. Join Rosemary in a revealing, heartfelt - and sexy - quest to find herself through the Major Arcana.

**

Tarot cards, contrary to popular belief, are not for seeing the future. Rather, they reveal information about an individual's state of mind, inner thoughts, and subconscious wisdom. A full Tarot deck contains 78 cards: 56 Minor Arcana (divided into four suits: Wands (or Staffs); Discs (or Pentacles); Cups, and Swords), which include numbered cards 1 - 10, and also "face" cards of King, Queen, Knight, and Page. The Minor Arcana depict specific individuals, events, decisions, or possible outcomes, and add detail to any Tarot reading.

There are also 22 Major Arcana cards. These cards represent major ideas, elements, or "twists". Starting with The Fool and ending with The World, the Major Arcana also present the narrative of a journey. It is this which inspired my writing this erotic romance, featuring Rosemary as the reluctant reader of Tarot. Through the cards, she will grow and change - and find love - all while examining her innermost self.

I'm leaving this story up to the cards. Each chapter is influenced by the card I pick; the Tarot will guide me as I write. (As will you, readers, with your comments, feedback, and suggestions). I hope this journey will offer plenty of enjoyment to lovers of romance, Tarot, and good storytelling, alike.
