15 Years Ago, I wrote The Eagle and The Dove Series

Fifteen years ago, I wrote The Eagle and the Dove Series.

It was about a heiress (kind of cliche, but her name is Natalia Rebecca de San Gabriel), who got orphaned and the bad aunt tried to take her riches away. Of course, she had to fall from the edge of a cliff to the sea before the hero (Rex/Enrico Ventura) could save her. There were funny minions, a motherly yaya, and the hero turns out to be a secret spy who works for a secret intelligence agency (Black Bureau -- this became the spinoff series for clamor for the lives of the other agents that worked with our hero). But aside from being a spy, he was also a CEO of a company and he happens to be very rich.

You, you guess it right. It was a Filipino romance series I wrote when I was still under a traditional publisher, using the pen name Noelle Arroyo.

I enjoyed writing that Filipino/English romance series, and a lot of romance readers still wanted to buy the books, except the publisher didn't want to provide reprints anymore. So, as soon as we were allowed to do it, I uploaded the series, The Eagle and the Dove, then the spinoff series, Black Bureau Elites, and other stories to my Wattpad account for Noelle Arroyo.

I hope you get to visit and enjoy the stories! Have a blessed day and always be happy! :)

SECRET SINS AND WHITE LIES (English/Filipino) by Elena Parks

While waiting for the eBook to go Live on Amazon, I slowly uploaded chapters of my book, Secret Sins and White Lies, to Wattpad so readers can get a glimpse into the world of the first character to the series that I am developing. Series name is Sweet Rage. Though... I really have a mind to change it to the more practical Sacred Saints Chapel.

Secret Sins and White Lies is the first book, and is about Giancarlo Verrazzano, one of the founders of the Secret Sins Club, a fetish club they formed barely out of high school with other friends. Giancarlo is an offspring of an elite family who'd been grooming their sons into high positions in companies their elders have created. Due to stringent upbringing, these creative boys found a way to relax. And that was through Secret Sins Club.

It wasn't as easy as that, though.

Secret Sins Club was more about friendship, connections and brotherhood. Along the way, these men have suffered tragedies, and they have got responsibilities they couldn't just easily play with. They have problems beyond anything ordinary people would even care to think about. And they couldn't break, because so many depend on them staying sane -- outside of the Sacred Saints Chapel.

The only possible thing that could really break a Sacred Saint brother... is the woman they fall in love with.

And in Gian's case, it was the beautiful, innocent, and adorable Elise von Schiller... who loves him so much. But Elise's life is in danger, since a serial killer has his sights on her.

A part of Giancarlo's story can be found in Wattpad.

You want to buy the physical book? It's available in Amazon and Barnes&Noble.

If you want to read it on your android phone and eBook reader apps, it's available as an eBook in Smashwords.

On your Kindle, it's live here: Amazon

Just to remind you, guys. This book is written in mixed English and Tagalog, a trend we follow writing romance in the Philippines. I'm working with an editor to have it translated to pure English to reach more market, same thing I've started doing with other books I've written under my Elena Parks pen name. They're geared toward Filipinos all over the world.

But it's still pure English for my stories under Camiel Rollins, Bevi Hayes and Gigi Myers. You can check those out in Amazon and Smashwords. :) And thank you when you do that. It motivates me much to see visits and sales to my stories. Makes up so much for the many sleepless nights that I worked on them. Makes me really wanna improve.

Have a blessed day and until the next hi-hello post!
