Dear Readers…

Welcome to the Bravo area of my site.

Here you will find a Bravo Family Tree, a detailed Bravo Booklist, Summaries of early books and a special history of Blake Bravo, The Ballad of Blake Bravo (Warning: contains spoilers for The Marriage Agreement, The Bravo Billionaire and The Marriage Conspiracy).

Re the Family Tree.  I realize it’s very…involved.  But hey.  At least it’s up at last!  In the future, I’ll be giving Blake and his wives and children their own tree, and the main tree will be expanding with other family members from the other branches of the clan.

And the below is from my February 2006 Newsletter.  I’m putting it up here because I think it will help to better explain the evil Blake Bravo and his family connections.

February 2006

…that dang Bad Blake Bravo.  How many women did he have kids with, anyway?

On second thought, don’t ask.  Because I created Blake and I’m still discovering women—good women—who got themselves caught in the web of his dark and dangerous charms.  What did they see in him?  We’ll never know.

So far, there was the sad and barren Lorraine (The Bravo Billionaire).  When Blake kidnapped his own brother’s child for a king’s ransom in diamonds, Lorraine kept the child and raised him as her own (Dekker Smith of The Marriage Conspiracy). When Blake left Lorraine, he took up with Tammy Rae Sandovich.  He gave Tammy one son, Marsh (The Marriage Agreement).  Before Lorraine and Tammy, there was Caitlin McCormack.  Caitlin claims he married her, as do most of the women who loved him.  Caitlin had three sons by Blake: Aaron (His Executive Sweetheart), Cade (Mercury Rising) and Will (Scrooge and the Single Girl).  And what about sweet Penelope Tate of Tate’s Junction, Texas?  Blake gave her two sons: Tate (Marrying Molly) and Tucker (Lori’s Little Secret). Penelope claims Blake married her, too. She even had a marriage license (discovered in Marrying Molly) so she was probably right.

A very busy man, that Blake.  He also found time to marry Chastity Cook and give her four sons: Buck (Bravo Unwrapped), Brett (Married in Haste, coming in September), Brand (TBA 2007), and Bowie—and speaking of Bowie, sorry but I can’t say when he’ll get his story.  He’s deeply troubled and needs some time to grow the heck up.

Oh, and lest I forget, there’s also Fletcher Bravo, result of a one-night stand between Candace Seely and Blake.  Fletcher gets his story, The Bravo Family Way, in March.

All my best,

Christine
