A Passion she could not deny—A lie she could never escape--

But for all her fierce ambition, all her daring dreams, Amanda Granger knew that her heart’s desires were held together by the fragile threads of deception and secrets. Triumph would always be elusive until she escaped from her web of deceit.

​IN REMEMBRANCE

When I set the dates for this tour, I wanted it to be in September as a remembrance of my husband, Jed Nolan, a film producer and director. His birthday was in September and I can’t begin the month without thinking of him.

He loved this story and though this wasn’t one of the books I’d turned into a screenplay, he loved the story of Amanda Granger because she never let anything or anyone get in her way. She was never conniving, or scheming. Yes. She lied about her age. She was only 16 not 18 when she came to America. She told everyone in New York she had royal blood. The irony was that Amanda had always thought she was the daughter of poor parents. At the end of the story, she discovers that her mother, Harriet, did, indeed, have an affair with Lord Kent and she was the illegitimate offspring.  The lie she told was the truth. 

My husband was a voracious reader. There were always a half dozen books on his nightstand, and at least as many downloads on his Kindle each week!   He was very critical of writers, often saying, there wasn’t enough “Story” in the novel he just read. 

Well, there is so much “story” within the pages of Web of Deceit that even to summarize it, would be re-writing the whole book. You’ll just have to take my word for it and read it. 

For years, my husband asked me to publish this book. He passed away on October 21, 2015.  I know he is very happy now that I’ve finally gotten Web of Deceit onto the pages of ebooks.
