A recluse who works and lives online must brave the “real world” when her sister goes missing. By assuming the identity of her alter-ego, an avatar who is as fearless as Diana herself once was, she finds the courage to set out.
But soon she finds herself wondering: Has she become a character in someone else’s game?
A young couple are about to have their first child. A woman from their past shows up at their yard sale. She goes inside their house, and she never comes out.
Relentlessly fast-paced and disturbingly creepy, NEVER TELL A LIE is a page-turning thrill ride about how well we know the people we love, and how far we are willing to go to protect the secrets of our past.
Hallie Ephron’s how-to book about writing a mystery, “Writing and Selling Your Mystery Novel: How to Knock ‘Em Dead with Style,” has become a classic in the field. From the premise, to the plot, to writing a blueprint, the opening scene, and on to revising, this provides worksheets and guides to every step of the process.
I’m delighted to talk to book groups, in person or via Skype or gmail video chat. Email me (Hallie@HALLIEEPHRON.com) to arrange a time that works for us all.
