What if a psychic told you that you were destined to have the kind of love about which stories are written … “But not until you’re ready.”
What if she was right?
As a teen mom, already ass-branded by one husband both domineering and dense as meat locker beef, Elaine stutter-stepped to independence via jobs typing letters and dialing phones for a series of mouth-breathers who believed a woman’s place was under the desk, spit-shining their assets. A couple of decades later she had, by god, scratched out a role in the corporate testicle festival where she earned fat, man-size paychecks. But her personal life was a dispiriting trail of relationship roadkill, her heart as tough as armadillo hide. Her one faithful love walked on four legs and woofed for his breakfast.
Desperate for a peek at her future Elaine consulted an astrologer-psychic. Allie B fanned out her Tarot cards, did her California woo-woo thing and prophesied unimaginable love.
Enter Jake Kingston. Internationally acclaimed surgeon with a 100-acre ranch in the wine country, two Ferraris in his several garages, and enough love-life failures to make them as compatible as a Brazilian wax and a can of whip cream.
Was Jake the key to the love she sought? Yes. But in a way no one ever could have foreseen.
KARMA DECEPTION and a Pair of Red FERRARIS: A Memoir is Elaine’s spiritual journey to believing herself worthy of love. A journey that involves a karmic pact with a lover who broke her heart, a dumpster dive into the hurts and betrayals of the past; and, finally, finding the courage to open her heart and give the kind of love she so yearned to receive.
With her sassy, Lone Star attitude and a combination of raw, honest insight and self-deprecating humor, Elaine Taylor will have you laughing out loud as often as she breaks your heart.
