For Sami, it was the best of times, it was the VERY best of times...when her eyes fell on "Prince Gorgeous" jogging up Sixth Avenue.

For Jem, Sami was the girl he knew was out there. And could only be found in New York City, in the center of the world.

For real, the best thing you could do in the Samurai city's glittering 1990s was fall in love. And then hold your breath as the new century dawned.

Love In The Samurai City tells and re-tells the story of love born as a city is reborn. But this is no ordinary "meet-cute." It is the tale of a marriage that collides with Powers That Be as old as America itself, and the far flung phantoms of an ominous new century, re-told.

It is a novel that lures us with love and its many passions, but ultimately jolts us out of our comfortable seats to remind us why a story can engage us as nothing else can. Meaning...

You might just LOVE Love in the Samurai City.
