She's Got Her Own, an entertainment

by Angus Brownfield

Overview

She’s Got Her Own is about self-discovery, about Lizzie Mae Brown, a woman obsessed with finding the True Mother and True Father of her dreams. In her search she encounters lawyers and bikers, avarice and selflessness, and links that click into place after years of incubating. There’s crime, low and high, suspense and a little love, romantic and carnal.
Lizzie doesn’t know Mama Eunice and Daddy Dale Brown kidnapped her, but from an early age she’s sure she’s not their child. They’ve not only conflicting temperaments, they have no roots of their own, living dog-paddle lives in quiet, humid Hephzibah, Georgia. —Until word comes of a sharp operator searching for a girl who fits Lizzie’s description, when they decamp for California.
Lizzie’s allies: best friend Bess Slokum; lover Zack Zacchlin, an Air Marshal; talented attorney, Julian Magnin, her boss. She’s stalked by Maurice (Mondo) Astrue. Mondo’s as obsessed with finding her (and the fortune he believes awaits her as heir to a very rich lady) as she is of finding her real parents.
Mondo’s aided by Jude Gaut, Daddy Dale’s distant cousin and a hapless biker, and by Janet Gonsalvez, a motorcycle mama with more balls than conviction. They put Mondo onto Miami attorney Florin Farnsworth, companion to the late playgirl, Angel Ducane, and guardian of the fortune she left for her kidnapped daughter, who turns out to be... Lizzie.
At the climax, like a perfect storm, the sharp operator and his mark confront each other in a showdown that ends one life and settles the future for the other.

About the Author

Write what you know. I know me and I'm talking to you, reader, in the first person, not the anonymous third person, because when I write I write about me and the world that thrives around me. I wrote decent poetry in college, I couldn’t get the hang of short stories. I finished my first novel so many years ago writers were still sending their works to publishers instead of agents. My first novel was rejected by everyone I sent it to. The most useful rejection, by a Miss Kelly at Little, Brown, said something like this: “You write beautifully, but you don’t know how to tell a story.” Since then I've concentrated on learning to tell a good story. The writing isn’t quite so beautiful but it will do. Life intervened. Like the typical Berkeley graduate, I went through five careers and three marriages. Since the last I've been writing like there’s no tomorrow. I have turned out twelve novels, a smattering of short stories and a little poetry. My latest novel is the third in a series about a man who is not my alter ego, he’s pure fiction, but everyone he interacts with, including the women, are me. My title for this trilogy is The Libertine. Writers who have influenced me include Thomas Mann, Elmore Leonard, Albert Camus, Graham Greene, Kurt Vonnegut and Willa Cather. I don’t write like any of them, but I wish I did. I'm currently gearing up to pay attention to marketing. Archery isn’t complete if there’s no target. I've neglected readers because I've been compulsive about putting words down on paper. Today the balance shifts.
