Produktbeschreibung

Jeanie Colbert and her old flame Rodney Cornwall had built up their Record Company over several years and had become minor music celebrities as a result. However, having a reached a pinnacle of sorts, they decided to try and take it to the next level by releasing a different kind of album and by promoting it more robustly.

They had never staged shows before and so set up a tour in the hope of boosting sales of their new recording, and all went well at first. But by dividing her time between the music, taking on supporting talent and juggling two intimate love affairs, Jeanie finds that this is a recipe for disaster.

As it happened, both the current men in her life have their own agendas which conflicted somewhat with hers. One, her business partner, is a drug addict who was deeply in debt, and the other a monied man who wants to utilise her fame to gain a business advantage.

This draws in a third, powerful though immoral individual who jumps at the chance to try and use her to satisfy his unbridled desires. Not knowing what was about to happen, Jeanie attends a party and is partially drugged and mauled by this man who, it turns out, holds the future of her company to ransom.

It certainly seems as if he holds all the cards, but being the strong character she is, Jeanie tries to fight back and makes it known that she intends to bring this individual to book. Unfortunately, it unleashes a torrent of legal attacks and professional defamation as he tries to use the law to escape justice. It threatens the very stability of her little music label and her life!

To cap it all, a couple of low life criminals discover some tragic information about her past which they try to use to deceive her. Money is clearly their motive. It certainly appears that fame has a downside and can put the unwary in a very vulnerable position. Even the psychic she consults gets it wrong and doesn't offer any clear guidance.

Trying to swim upstream, fight these battles and maintain some dignity isn't easy. If only someone could step out of the shadows and offer a ready cure for her difficulties. But knights in shining armour are just the stuff of fable aren't they? Or is there a handsome and charismatic man living in Los Angeles who can just click his fingers, solve her problems and make her fall in love with him all at the same time?

Autorenporträt

HERBERT HOWARD JONES grew up in Notting Hill, London in the sixties. He went to a boarding school in Norfolk and then local schools including Sloane School where crime writer John Creasy attended near the King's Road. When he left school he got numerous jobs, including as a porter at the BBC London, working as a jewellery assembler in a factory in Hatton Garden and also in a number of roles at a showbiz solicitor's office where he was a trainee legal executive and ran errands for a few of the British movie and music names of the time.

He is a creative spirit who also likes dabbling in music and art himself. When he was in the jewellery business he personally made over ten thousand 14 carat gold gate bracelets which was a great learning experience for him. However, he was more interested in media and always wanted to write suspense books with a melodramatic element and so spent years reading them and working on various projects. He is also interested in romantic and fantasy fiction. And despite being a Catholic he is interested in New Age literature, mythology and metaphysics.

But meeting people has always inspired him the most and he has had the good fortune to meet quite a few interesting people. He was personally friends with horror writer, Denis Wheatley's housekeeper when she lived in Blackheath, and knew poet John Pudney who lived nearby before he passed. One of the most interesting people that he met was the daughter of the Captain of the Titanic with whom he had tea in her cottage up in Suffolk. Miss Smith was a lady with a big personality and a very interesting home. She was surrounded with Titanic memorabilia wherever you looked. Jones was only a boy at the time and didn't appreciate the significance of all this stuff, but regrets not quizzing her on the catastrophic event which has forever featured large in shipping folklore!
