Reckless Beauty is Book 2 in the Powerful Minds series and a sequel to Reckless Brilliance. George Horton is enjoying his senior year of high school when one of his friends, Tony Tan Lim, that he met in El Paso while he was on the run, is kidnapped. George helps identify the Mexican gang that kidnapped Tony and eventually sneaks across the border to rescue him. After a tragic accident, George and his father decide to take a vacation to California. On the way, they are detoured and their car breaks down. They are helped by a beautiful woman and her daughter who aggressively pursue George and his father romantically. George expects some kind of trap or attempt to get information but the intentions of the women are far different. These women are members of a secret organization, The Sisterhood, and are not to be trifled with. George manages to enrage the daughter and ends up stranded in the Mojave Desert with nothing but a blanket and a sword. He has to use all of his wits and acquired memories to survive until he is rescued.
Autorenporträt
Lloyd G. Miller is a successful engineer (US patents #6,491,773 and #8,042,594) who started writing as a hobby two decades ago. After writing several novels and spending years refining them, he decided to try publishing. After studying about ebook publishing through a middleman such as Smashwords, he concluded to try that approach, starting with Cloned Memories. He lives in Bountiful, Utah where most of the story takes place. In 2014, a publisher, Savant Books and Publishing, called and said that they wanted to publish Cloned Memories based on an earlier version that he had sent them. The chief editor was very enthusiastic. Lloyd was asked to immediately pull the book off of Smashwords. After signing the contract, he discovered that the owner wanted him to change the plot by one third because it had been earlier published by Smashwords. Lloyd disagreed with this logic and the contract was voided. Lloyd made extensive changes to Cloned Memories and renamed it Reckless Brilliance. In 2017, he decided to return to Smashwords with The Computer Who Loved me. This novel should be much easier to market.
