About This Book

Tales of Duplicity and Discontent is a deeply affecting literary experience; second in a series, the book contains four long stories, or novellas. Intense and observant, it is both audacious and ingenious.

'Love Forbidden' is an impossible love story. Patrick McCormick has been happily married for three years to his beautiful and ravishing actress wife Angela. But then, his wife's younger sister returns from an extended trip abroad turning his organized and tranquil existence upside down.

Gerry Huntington, the main character of 'The Father,' is a bachelor of 51 and a highly successful and accomplished businessman. Although he lacks for nothing and leads a very organized and full life; he yearns to have children, but which one of his girlfriends will he ask?

Linda Staunton, the stunningly beautiful and sensitive girl in 'Skin Deep,' experiences more in her life before she turns twenty-five, than most people do in a lifetime. In that short time frame, she is confronted with great joys and great trauma.

Gustav Henn is a retired classical pianist who dies on Christmas Eve, 2001. The police inspector who discovers the body falls upon a diary that Henn had written chronicling the last years of his life. In 'Christmas 2001,' we uncover his life, a journey from world renowned classical pianist, to that of a confused and lonely old man, living in unimaginable solitude.
