Although the book is not autobiographic, I have enough first and second-hand experience with infidelity to tell an engaging narrative. A Catholic upbringing and strong views on God and the church provided me with the ammunition for the religious story-line, while a life-long curiosity about people and their behavior helped to give the novel a very human touch.
I have been a writer ever since I was six years old. Two-page novels, articles in every school paper I came across, extensive travel diaries and short stories; you name it, I wrote it. After working as an event planner, travelling the world with Cirque du Soleil and teaching English in Spain, I knew the time had come for me to write my first novel.
About the Book
A novel about love, friendship and infidelity. Covering a period of 2.5 years, it follows the comical and dramatic events that lead neighbors Eve and Julien to an important decision: should they leave their cheating partners, Adam and Romeo, or not?
The story shows suburbia as a modern-day Garden of Eden, where men, rather than women, are enticed to be naughty. Romeo’s temptation comes from bisexual bus driver Nick, whose wife Cynthia seduces Adam.When Eve and Julien discover these indiscretions, they initially attempt to hide them, until they realize they need each other’s help to make up their minds about the future.
In the background, Eve’s single sister Dawn takes her religious devotion to, literally, insane levels. This is a problem, since Eve appointed Dawn in her will as guardians to her twins.
