It is a delight to invite my lovely friend and talented author, Joy Wood, back to Patricia’s Pen. Congratulations to Joy on the launch of her brand new novel Secrets and Lies. Joy has come along to tell my readers a little about it. Without further ado it’s over to Joy.

Writing is my Passion

Joy Wood

Writing books is the “easy” bit – I come up with a story but then need to make it desirable for my readers. Fortunately, I’m surrounded by people who want me to succeed, including my brilliant, insightful editor, and talented cover designer.

I strive with each novel to create a narrative that invites the reader into a captivating, engaging and menacing world. My previous five independently published books fall into the crime category and use twists and turns to keep the reader turning the pages well into the night.

My latest novel Secrets and Lives is a story of intrigue, deceit and rage – packed full of tension to the very last page.

The story is about three women –

Jenna, the beautiful yet fragile wife of the heir to the Montgomery fortune,

Bridget, the wily housekeeper who carries out her duties with diligence and guile,

and Lucy, the jewellery designer living an almost reclusive life.

All three women are bound together by secrets and lies.

Oak Ridge is the mansion where the heinous Montgomery family reside. A place where subterfuge, blackmail and murder have become the order of the day. Challenging the Montgomery family is never an option – defeating them impossible.

All three women are forced to take the family on. However, only one of them is confident of victory because she’s watched and learned from the masters themselves. But she is hiding an almighty secret that she’s never dared speak to anyone about. A monstrous act that is so evil, it’s better left unsaid . . . or could vocalising it, finally free her?
