Today I am so pleased to welcome Frank Spinelli to Joyfully Jay. Frank has come to talk to us about his latest release, Perfect Flaw. Please join me in giving him a big welcome!

Dear Joyfully Jay and your followers,

Thank you so much for having me.

I am so delighted to present my first gay romantic suspense novel, Perfect Flaw, published by Blind Eye Books.

Writers draw upon personal experience to execute a story. No truer words have been spoken when you consider the basic premise of Perfect Flaw – a young, Italian doctor whose life is upended by a charismatic colleague – occurred the first year I was in private practice. Young, naïve and eager to please, I had been asked to join a posh Park Avenue practice and subsequently made mistake after mistake because I had been seduced by a drug-addicted liar. Perfect Flaw is not a memoir. In fact, it’s far from it, but it is a cautionary tale I kept locked deep inside the dark recesses of my memory because an innocent person was murdered. The body discarded like a piece of trash to protect a greedy, evil individual.

Twenty years later, I dared to revisit this story with enough perspective that I felt empowered to retell it as a romantic suspense novel. Perfect Flaw bears little resemblance to the real events that happened to me so many years ago. I am not Angelo Perrotta, but there is a little Angelo in me. Maybe in all of us. And why not: “Angelo had dreamed of living the good life, and all the years it took to build that dream had been dismantled in only twelve months.”

I hope you enjoy Perfect Flaw.

Best,

Frank
