What if a psychic told you that you were destined to have the kind of love about which stories are written ... "But not until you're ready." What if she was right? As a teen mom, already ass-branded by one husband both domineering and dense as meat locker beef, Elaine stutter-stepped to independence via jobs typing letters and dialing phones for a series of mouth-breathers who believed a woman's place was under the desk, spit-shining their assets. A couple of decades later she had, by god, scratched out a role in the corporate testicle festival where she earned fat, man-size paychecks. But her personal life was a dispiriting trail of relationship roadkill, her heart as tough as armadillo hide. Her one faithful love walked on four legs and woofed for his breakfast. Desperate for a peek at her future Elaine consulted an astrologer-psychic. Allie B fanned out her Tarot cards, did her California woo-woo thing and prophesied unimaginable love. Enter Jake Kingston. Internationally acclaimed surgeon with a 100-acre ranch in the wine country, two Ferraris in his several garages, and enough love-life failures to make them as compatible as a Brazilian wax and a can of whip cream. Was Jake the key to the love she sought? Yes. But in a way no one ever could have foreseen. KARMA DECEPTION and a Pair of Red FERRARIS: A Memoir is Elaine's spiritual journey to believing herself worthy of love. A journey that involves a karmic pact with a lover who broke her heart, a dumpster dive into the hurts and betrayals of the past; and, finally, finding the courage to open her heart and give the kind of love she so yearned to receive. With her sassy, Lone Star attitude and a combination of raw, honest insight and self-deprecating humor, Elaine Taylor will have you laughing out loud as often as she breaks your heart.

Review ''KARMA DECEPTION, and a Pair of RED FERRARIS is a fast, fun, rewarding journey. One wise-ass line and sharp observation leads to another until you find the story pulling you on--not where you expect it to take you, but to someplace raw and real and heart-changing.'' --Gerard Jones, author of Men of Tomorrow''Everyone searches for love. In KARMA DECEPTION and a Pair of Red FERRARIS, Elaine Taylor tells what she had to do to find it. With a sassy, Lone Star attitude and a combination of raw, honest insight and self-deprecating humor, her story will have you laughing out loud as often as it breaks your heart. Her ultimate discovery--that we cannot find love until we believe ourselves worthy of it--just may be the key to finding the love we all yearn to invite into our lives.'' --Martha Alderson, Plot Whisperer

A page turner with a heart By Samantha Chesler Leiman Elaine Taylor has written a book that will make you laugh, cry and wise up all while packing a smart talking punch that will have you staying up all night turning the page. Her experience, work and investment into building relationships is an inspiration. Even my husband, not necessarily the target reader, felt that the journey of reading the book gave him an insight into relationships that he had never had before. Elaine Taylor writes about the hard path of self-discovery to ultimately build strong and long lasting relationships. It is presented in a matter-of-fact way, with no moralizing and often with humor. The tone of the book is direct and frank, at times brutally honest, and forces you to take a long hard look at yourself and your own relationships. But it’s not all deep thought and introspection! This is a book that will take you on a wild ride and have you slide to the finish line in a laughing and crying heap

ELAINE TAYLOR WRITES A BRAVE AND ENTRANCING BIOGRAPHY By Schuyler T Wallace KARMA DECEPTION AND A PAIR OF RED FERRARIS REVIEWElaine Taylor considers her book, “Karma Deception and a Pair of Red Ferraris,” to be creative nonfiction. I’m not sure how she means that, but creative to me means artistic, innovative, and inventive and a lot of other adjectives (see your thesaurus), all of which she abundantly displays. Her life is laid out for all to see and is described in superb writing that resonates with passion. Few books have grabbed my attention with such tenacity.Taylor is a Texas girl with an attitude. Her childhood was unpleasant, to say the least, but she knows her mind, is resolute in finding her own way, and is unyielding in her convictions. In other words, she’s stubborn. She has chosen a personal journey that clambers over a childhood of frustration, three husbands who are only interested in their personal gratification, displaying a smart mouth and bawdy behavior in her travels. As I read on, I couldn’t imagine how she would ever resolve her inner turmoil and find a life that would calm her demons.Her story is intense and filled with unbecoming conduct that, frankly, only a strong person would dare reveal. She does so openly with a wisecracking demeanor that makes the reader both cringe and laugh while, at the same time, her lyrical language showcases her tenacity and resolve. We travel with Taylor through both joyful periods of inspiration and self-esteem and episodes of depression and self-destruction that include a half-hearted suicide attempt. It’s a roller coaster that never slows to let her off and we’re along for the ride.Her bad choices include a decision to continue a relationship with man number four, a doctor whose idea of foreplay is a surprise gynecological exam before their first coupling. She rationalizes it as something a doctor would do, considering all the bad things that go on “down there.” It turns out to be an educational, if not always comfortable, liaison. The author has her champions who hand out advice and prophesies even as they cringe at her continued bad choices. Consider her psychic, both sagacious and enigmatic, who assures her that “when she is ready” she will be blessed with the kind of love she seeks. Of course she ignores the positive forecast and plows ahead on her pernicious course. It is not until Taylor totally surrenders her destructive self-absorbing behavior that she finds what she is desperately seeking.Few writers can get around their egos enough to produce a truly absorbing biography. Taylor’s retrospective has nasty tentacles to evade as she struggles in a undertow for a love she can live with, and she has no qualms about displaying her underwear along the way. She is, in a way, a shameless reporter; also a brave one.This is a must read for those of us who need reassurance that we can conquer life’s struggles. Taylor is our light and shows us how to make it shine.Schuyler T WallaceAuthor of TIN LIZARD TALES

A Story that Won't Leave You Alone By Scott Whisler As a reader, I am always on the lookout for stories told by brave souls who have made the trek into the depths, faced the monsters that live there, wrestled their hearts out, and returned with a story to tell. A story that stays with you for years.A story that will haunt you.This is what Norman McLean does in "A River Runs Through It."This is what Cheryl Strayed does. And Elizabeth Gilbert.This is one of those stories, and Elaine Taylor is one of those writers.In Karma Deception, Elaine is on a quest for the love of her dreams, good and strong and normal, the exact opposite of every other relationship she has ever suffered.And she has suffered a few.She's salty and funny and ornery. She's hard on men and harder on herself.She looks for counsel in all of the regular places: her coworkers, her shrink, her psychic, and her beloved dog.She drinks a little, swears a little, and cries a little.Fine. She's does all of these a lot.But she's on a quest for love, for crying out loud. And it's a messy quest.There are no minced words in this book. It's full on honest and funny and sad and true.You will have such a good time listening to this brassy Texas woman tangle with her Silicon Valley work life in New Agey California that you won't always notice that she is telling an adventure story that belongs to all of us.A story about how to find your place in the world.About your less than perfect childhood.About your worse than rotten young adult choices.About building walls around your heart to keep it safe.About the work of tearing down the walls again in order to let in the good stuff.About how much all of that hurts. Like you are dying.In the end: about the truth and grace that waits on the other side of that pain.This book will inspire you. It will make you cry.It will haunt you.I think it could change your life.
