Fixed Fight for Rourke in Russia
I saw this on MSN news and thought it was interesting and might make for a good part of an upcoming story….
In a startling and completely unexpected confession, Elliot Seymour, the 1-9 pro boxer who fought actor Mickey Rourke in Russia last month, has admitted that their bout was fixed.
When 62-year-old actor and former amateur boxer Mickey Rourke obliterated Elliot Seymour in their exhibition match in Russia, boxing aficionados were immediately quick to point out that Rourke could potentially be the superstar at heavyweight who could immediately threaten Wladimir Klitschko and “curbstomp” Deontay Wilder with one hand tied behind his back. To refresh your memory, here were the two bone-chilling knockdowns that forced the 2nd round stoppage.
Sadly, this feel-good story has taken a turn for the worse. Seymour, who is unbeaten in 1 of his 10 career pro fights, spoke with TMZ Sports and made the disappointing confession that this fight wasn’t actually legitimate after all.
Elliot Seymour tells TMZ Sports the deal was he would go down from a body shot in the 2nd round … and he would get $15,000 — $10k up front and the rest when he got back to the U.S.

Next Book From Latrivia: Highness
Prince Michael has always been England’s bad boy. Handsome, confident and completely untraditional, many of his antics garnered front-page news and international headlines over the years. However, once he gets engaged to a woman of note, he finally become a man that his mother, The Queen of England, can be proud of. Too bad, the world wind romance is short lived.
Catastrophe: After calling off the wedding to Thalia, his brother Richard convinces him to get out of the public eye and covertly go to the United States for a while where he hopes that Michael will gain a little more respect for his title and position by living as a commoner, and so the media won’t keep catching him in other women’s beds. To make the situation a little more discrete, they pick the small town of Hernando, Mississippi for their experiment. Normally, Michael would have considered the entire proposal laughable, but the constant fallout from the breakup make what started out as a preposterous suggestion a pliable solution.
Hope Daniels is on top of the world. Working on a collection of art to display in a few months after signing a major deal, she feverishly is working toward her deadline, when suddenly disaster strikes. After being in a head-on collision with a drunk driver, she is left temporarily blind and completely alone. With no one to help take care of her, her agent pushes her to hire someone to help her around the house until her sight comes back. After the most ridiculous interview ever, she finally agrees to hire handyman, Beau Michaels, not knowing that her help is actually the royal variety.
Blessing: Michael’s never been understood, mostly because his beauty and title have always gotten in the way of any sincere connection with a woman, but with Hope blind to his looks and unaware of his true status, he is forced to be himself for the first time ever.
With his majesty waiting on Hope hand and foot, and Hope feeding Michael’s soul with more than pomp and circumstance, their connection becomes electric.
Only what happens when she can see again and he finally sees what he wants in life?

Only the dead have seen the end of war… Plato

Throwback to The World in Reverse
It’s almost time for me to start that year-long walk with Nicola Agosto. As you all know, it literally takes a year to write his books. They are always long and they are always complicated. There is so much grown to cover with Johnson, the Medlov family and his wife. We know that he’s now Deputy Director of the Memphis Police Department, but we don’t know what he’s walking into with this new business deal on President’s Island. No matter what, it’s sure to be a hellacious ride.
As throwback to the second book in the Agosto Series, here is an old interview in my neck of the woods.
The Chronicles of Young Dmitry Medlov: Volume 7 will be released on Saturday, October 25th
I know to so many this project is just a short story. It’s one of 12 short stories in the series about Dmitry Medlov before he met Royal. But my Medlovian women (oh that rowdy group of gals) are expecting excellence in each and every chapter.
In reading over my work on last night, I just wasn’t satisfied with the story yet. 100 pages of a short story that is supposed to leave you cursing me for more. Don’t get me wrong. It’s fire, but it’s not ON fire. So then, the debate happened. I questioned if meeting a deadline was better than meeting YOUR expectations with my work. And the answer came up, unequivocally NO.
This is why I’m pushing the book back one week. The 100 pages that we present to you need to knock your socks off, or at least make you want to take off your shoes and curl up to your e-reader. Speaking of which, do people name theirs? My e-book reader is named LUCY. Anyway…
This series means so much to me. It’s the exploration of the mind behind the mature Russian billionaire who grew to be a worldwide leader of underworld munitions and the many relationships that he had to foster and forget. In Dmitry’s Closet, we have a new understanding of the thick tension between Dmitry and Ivan in their first meeting when he arrived to Memphis from New York many years after the Chronicles has taken place. We understand why Dmitry did not want Royal anywhere near Ivan, and after V7, we’ll understand why Ivan swore revenge for Arie.
The backstory makes everything fun. And this backstory is dedicated to all of you. But I can’t dedicate something to you that I know is half done. I’m asking for your forgiveness and understanding that we’re we a week off the mark, but somehow, I think you’re going to be entertained when it’s finally in your hands.
Chealsea Clinton Brings Home New Baby
I don’t know about you, but as a die hard Clinton fan (still a die hard Obama fan also, but just keep in mind I love the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox), I was celebrating with the family when they brought home their new bundle of joy.
Chelsea Clinton, 34, carried newborn Charlotte Mezvinsky as she left New York City’s Lenox Hill Hospital on Tuesday, accompanied by her husband, Mark Mezvinsky, and proud grandparents Hillary and Bill Clinton. (9/30/14)
Our Presidential Families are as close as we get to royalty and that’s close enough for me. I’m very happy that Charlotte is healthy, happy and safe. Sending blessing her way.
XoXo and all that jazz,

Latrivia Nelson’s 2014 Release Dates
*May Change
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas for me. The last leg of the 2014 year, and every book that I’ve been working on for this year needs to be out by December 31, 2014. Why? Because I have a 12-book list for 2015, and I’d like not to have to write two books a monthJ
So many readers have wanted to know what in the world is coming first and when. And you guys know how I feel about listing a deadline, but I’m going to do it as long as you don’t hold me to it. Fair enough. You get what you want and I get an opportunity to at least try to be goal-oriented.
This has been a fun year truly. I felt like my old self again, actually even better. So, I’ve been writing notes, outlines, quotes and now I think I’m finally ready to do some writing.
Plus, I’ve put together an awesome little video of the covers. You know me. I like to impress you.
Take a look and tell me what you think. In the next few days, we’ll take each book and list the synopsis and move forward with how you can give your input.
Big hugs and kisses to you all.
