I watched a documentary on Bernie Madoff a few years ago and was fascinated by the fact the he was able to swindle so many people out of so much money for so long. (Suspense.Can you tell us when you started THE LYING WOODS, how that came about? Though the plot may seem a bit far-fetched at times, the realistic setting, believable romance and spunky protagonist will make this one worth the trip for mystery and romance fans. The fresh first-person narration serves the story well, providing grounding in reality as events spin out of control. Once she's on the trail of the truth, Meg feels compelled to make things right for her beleaguered family, even if it means placing herself and her devoted new beau in grave danger. Smitten, Meg decides to do whatever it takes to stay put, and that means finding out what her father witnessed, or perhaps what crime he committed, to warrant the family's entry into the strange world of witness protection. The latest stop is Natchitoches, La., a warm, colorful place with quite a few perks, including a job at a local pizza joint and a handsome boy named Ethan. Each time, something goes awry, and they are swept right out of their old lives and right into new ones, with new names, new looks, new challenges-and the same old feeling that something just isn't quite right. Who's never wondered what it would be like to enter witness protection and assume a new identity? Meg Jones, her younger sister Mary and their parents have run through six witness protection placements. As they embark on a perilous journey to free her family once and for all, Meg discovers that there's only one rule that really matters-survival. And it just might get both of them killed. But Meg isn't counting on Ethan Landry, an adorable Louisiana farm boy who's too smart for his own good. If he won't help, it's time she got some answers for herself. For the past eight months, Meg has begged her father to answer one question: What on earth did he do-or see-that landed them in this god-awful mess? Meg has just about had it with all of the Suits' rules-and her dad's silence. But for now, they've given her a new name, Megan Rose Jones, and a horrible hair color. Witness Protection has taken nearly everything from her. But now that she's been transplanted to rural Louisiana, she has decided that this fake identity will be her last. She's been six different people in six different places: Madeline in Ohio, Isabelle in Missouri, Olivia in Kentucky.
