the black lullaby

Welcome to the info page on my second book. After focusing on the issue of Child Sex Tourism with my first novel ‘The Fairy Dance’ in 2007, the controversy keeps rolling in with ‘Living Their Lie’.

Here’s a little info on the book.

Love is always full of surprises but only hate can shock you.

At three points of a twisted love triangle stand an unfaithful husband, an unhappy wife and an uncertain lover, all with one thing in common, their need to be loved. Caught amidst a society that revels in hypocrisy they will learn of how the strong become weak, how friends become enemies, how very fickle the nature of power can be and how far they can go to take what they believe is rightfully theirs.

‘Living Their Lie’ explores the limits of friendship and marriage, the delusions of the past and present, the human weakness of attempting to understand all things and the possibility of romantic love between two people of the same sex.

Here’s some background info on the work that went into this book. As I’ve mentioned on the blog before, this book was written and re-written three times. First under the working title ‘Why God’s Don’t Cry’ and then ‘Lucifer’s Cradle’.

The name of the book is from a statement I once made to a friend: ‘Society claims to know so much of whom we are that now we have no choice but to continue living their lie’.

The launch will take place on the 25th of June at the Barefoot Cafe and all those who want to be there are welcome. This page will be updated with more info on the book in time to come so stay tuned.

Living Their Lie (like The Fairy Dance) is a work of fiction but is based on very real social issues.
