CHRISTMAS PRICING IN AFFECT THROUGH DECEMBER, 2011...
"Stunning new talent!"...
Andrew Neiderman, author of The Devil's Advocate
BOOK ONE OF THE NIGHTENGALE LEGACY OF SIN AND BETRAYAL
Trapped a long time ago by the sins of the father, Valerie Nightengale is determined that someday she will no longer be a weak and helpless little girl. Someday, her fairy-tale prince will rescue her from the dreadful, nightmarish curse of her father, the pathetic Larry Nightengale.
So, indeed, Valerie does break the dreadful ties that bind her and she becomes the wealthy, powerful kind of woman she always wanted to be, the kind of woman she always deserved to be.
Yet wealth and power cannot break the Nightengale legacy of sin and betrayal, still the sins of the father linger, linger... Now, made both warped and hypocritical by them, Valerie is drawn towards a shocking climax that can do nothing but continue to haunt all of the Nightengales and the Prestons forever!
From Valerie...
When I was but a child, I was too weakened by circumstances to defend my rights, too intimidated by those around me to put a stop their insults and their abuses. Then I discovered my weakness was a sign of failure, a trait of something truly defective, so I lifted my head high and stopped being a martyr for everyone else. Their weaknesses only encouraged my own infirmities. It became necessary to learn how to be unfaltering lest I suffer, lest I wither away and die. Because the most diabolical of damages had been inflicted on me by cold and unfeeling, heartless and uncaring people, I taught myself how to ward off their daily, petty persecutions.
With cunning and craftiness, I armed myself to protect me from physical and emotional injury and abuse. Now, I am a strong willed woman - never demure, never willing to be hesitant, never lacking in the ability to make a snap decision and then stick to it. Commands and threats are issued with ease even though, once, I was lacking and deficient, woefully unwilling to say what had to be said and do what had to be done to protect myself. Finally, I put to use the knowledge suffering had taught me about how to excel, about how to exert control over those who previously thought that they ruled over me. Only when they were all defeated did people stop attempting to cross my path at opposing angles.
I possess a commanding presence because I took the time to learn how to be unwavering, how to ignore the lies and the pleas of the wicked who foolishly cried out to me to save them from themselves.
Before I turned thirteen, I did everything I could to win my family’s love, to win the love of an entire family who would never love me no matter what I did. When I discovered they would never do anything but slap me in the face time and time again because they enjoyed it so much, I decided they were no longer worthy of my efforts. Today, most people, most especially male people, are mesmerized by my bewitching charms, by my intelligence and my insight. And by my money. Oh, yes, by my money. But their devotions are unnecessary for in the end they are helpless to do anything but pay heed to what I say.
My very carriage is one of confidence, it dictates that other people pay rapt attention to me. All who encounter my unshakable countenance are at once mesmerized by it and compelled to listen to the authoritarian tone of my voice, a voice inflected with practice to command their respect and their obedience. It is with great pride and confidence that I carry myself.
I am Valerie Nightengale and I will not be bested!
