Salt Lake City,
Utah October 4, 2012 -- Author Debbie Roberts-Cluff has been writing a
successful G-rated mommy blog, Confessions
of a 30ish Overworked and Underpaid Housewife, since 2007. With her followers and her daily visits
sorrowing to new heights mainly because of her high-moral standard style of
writing and hilarious child-like humor, she decided to take her real life out
of the equation and write a wholesome, yet fabulous love story that would be enjoyed by all ages, Once Upon a Cartier.
Once Upon a
Cartier, Roberts-Cluff premier novel, questions
if only a fool confuses fate for destiny. Which is exactly what Laila Simons
must answer when she meets Julius Heldge and learns that destiny is a choice we
make despite of fate. Will Laila abandon the life predetermined by the stars in
order to capture her eternity in a Cartier ring?
Drawing from her addiction to everything in print
and her love for Romeo and Juliet, Roberts-Cluff began to write an epic love
story about two star-crossed lovers, but then took her writing a step further
and incorporated her daughters love for fantasy books into the mix. She also
wanted to install a sense of decency and morality for her characters.
Roberts-Cluff explains, “I wanted a love story my young daughters would be
proud of. A strong role model who didn’t need to throw herself at a man to gain
respect and success.”
Once
Upon a Cartier is a story of love and deceit, secrets and betrayals, that takes us
from the mythical ruins of the Greek Gods to the backyard of the historical
city known as Pasadena. This is the love story of our decade, a bold inquiry
into destiny and Laila’s decision to pursue a path towards everlasting love and
unspeakable loss. The story is of a
true battle of defining one’s own fate , one that reminds us what it means to feel human.
And the verdict is in, the readers are loving it. With
Once Upon a Cartier to be released on
Tuesday, October 9th, only on Amazon, the pre-sale reviews are out.
Diana Smith, of New Orleans, Louisiana, shared, “I read through this book with a sense of astonishment, as each
chapter left an place in my mind—and heart—that would not easily be forgotten.
I think Once Upon a Cartier deserves
recognition for being the most touching love story of our time.” Heidi Hagen, of Gilbert, Arizona, expressed,
“A novel of truth, faith, goodness, and
love... Debbie Roberts-Cluff writing is rare and refreshingly original, a true
art form. One of the most heartfelt novels.
