Book Summary

A Twisted Tale of Love, Deception, and Revenge.

When Flannery O’Connor Larkin, age thirty, returns to the Chicago area to spend time with her Granny Anne, who raised her, she also hopes to reconnect with her ex-fiancé. Derek is going through a messy divorce from his wife, Chloe-a vengeful, selfish, and abusive mother to their two children, Jack and Lucy. Derek never loved Chloe, but married her when she tricked him into believing she was pregnant with his child. Throughout their six-year marriage, Chloe has continued her affair with Derek’s brother, Sean, who is Jack’s biological father-and everyone knows that Derek has been caught in Chloe’s web of deception.

When Derek and Flannery meet again, it’s clear their love for each other never waned. They are married only months after Derek’s divorce is finalized from Chloe, who is Flannery’s younger half-sister. But Chloe is furious and determined to tear them apart. And she will go to any lengths to satisfy her warped need for revenge…

Leading Self-Publishing Company Makes a Case For Previously Published Authors

Outskirts Press, an Inc. 500 self-publishing company, invites new and established authors to “fall in love with publishing again” this February with a new promotion.

February 2, 2010. Denver, Colorado – Outskirts Press, an Inc. 500 company and the fastest-growing self-publishing and book marketing company, today invites new and previously-published authors to “fall in love with publishing all over again.” A special February promotion offering twice as many free author’s copies on select publishing packages seals the deal with a kiss.

“It is difficult being a writer today and having so many choices,” concedes Outskirts Press CEO Brent Sampson. “Authors who may have published previously are sometimes disillusioned about their experience. And authors who are still considering their options are often struck with a form of ‘paralysis’ out of fear of making the ‘wrong choice.’  This February, we want all authors to fall in love with publishing, like so many of our authors have.”

Authors who have previously published may experience an array of improvements when republishing their book(s) with Outskirts Press. Depending upon the previous publisher, these new benefits may include:

  • Authors keep 100% of their rights
  • Authors keep 100% of their author royalties
  • Authors receive below-wholesale pricing on their own books
  • Authors receive Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble.com, and Ingram availability all at the same price
  • Authors can receive Marketing COACH assistance for up to two years following publication

For authors with a manuscript to publish (or republish) in February, the choice becomes easier with the announcement of the “Fall in Love in February” publishing promotion.  Authors who assign their Outskirts Press production team to help them with their book in February will receive twice as many free author’s copies of their book upon publication.  The necessary promotion code is: LOVEx2

 “With so many choices, it is too easy to make no choice at all,” continues Sampson. “But if you’re a writer and want be published, the only truly wrong choice is doing nothing. As Wayne Gretzky said, ‘You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.'”
