As a child, physically I was considered a “late bloomer.” I understand that may have some health benefits. However, I’m totally not at all certain what benefits may be befitting a person who starts “authoring” at sixty-eight years of age, except the newfound excitement and fulfillment of creating. I am blessed to be able to do so; and doubly so, if you, the reader, find some enjoyment therefrom. Before departing this page, I would like to carve out my gratitude to Sam Koeppel for his wonderful editing and to Rick Esposito for artistic endeavors in rendering the cover of my book.

New York Times Bestseller A landmark achievement The Prince of Darkness is not simply the stunningly candid memoir of one of the country’s most influential reporters but also a riveting history of the past half century in American politics.

One woman's story of refusing to lose faith or settle for the wrong kind of love...and what a secret sorrow taught her. Geraldine Brown Giomblanco's unusually strong intuition is propelling her up the ranks in fashion, retail, and marketing, and she's matching up girlfriends one by one with the guys they will marry. She's smart, attractive, loving, and grounded. So, why is she still single? In this dazzling memoir, Brown Giomblanco brings to life the devotion to God she learns from her beloved grandma Rosaria and lessons she gains from a gigolo, a psychic, guardian angels and saints, a US president, and a string of unsuitable boyfriends. From the Garment District to Venice to a yacht off sun-splashed Montauk, she hangs on to hope as she searches for her own Mr. Right. Then, the incredible happens, and it utterly changes her life. Can spirits of the departed really speak to us on Earth? Geraldina and the Compass Rose is an uplifting and empowering story about faith and maintaining hope, because prayers do get answered and miraculous things do happen to ordinary people.
