The story also deals with gambling, infidelity and a "nefarious character of Jonas Cartwright." 

According to her biography, Mariotti was born in Derby and is a graduate of Sacred Heart University in Fairfield, where she majored in Business Administration and minored in English.

"Ever since childhood she has loved to write; when she was a senior in high school she began sending her work to publishers. Her first poem appeared in Night Roses in 1991, and her second poem was published in Green’s Magazine in Canada that same year. Since then her work has appeared in many literary magazines around the USA and even in India, Australia, and Scotland. Early Bird Publications of India published a primary textbook of essays on the Presidents," Mariotti said of herself.
