To Be True
The First Caper
by
K.D. Straus
If you have to choose between going too far or being too late, always choose too far. Marion Pallas is the plain middle sister, the raven between two tropical birds, and that is how the ladies in 1920's London high society treat her with their malignant whispers and snide comments. When Marion exacts her revenge, her misdeed launches a plot to save her involving a motley crew of characters including a Canadian playwright and his theatre company, a notorious gang of female thieves, a countess's duplicitous lover, and a very devoted and decidedly unconventional aunt. If only they can shake the relentless investigator who wants to clip Marion's wings.
My journey as an author truly began eight years ago, during a game of, 'What would you be, if you could be anything?' with my husband. His cheeky response was to be an underwater fire fighter. My less humorous answer was a writer, to which he responded, "So Write." So I did. I read somewhere that you should write what you know, so I did that too. I have been a hairapist in Southern Ontario Canada for over thirty years, where my miniature English Bull Terrier, generously shares his home with my husband and I. I took some of that authentic life experience, and mixed it with my love of history, and a well-timed quip, to create To Be True, the first novel in my North of the Avon series. I write fiction, mostly. You get to decide what is real, and what isn't.
