Determined to destroy the Echelon she despises, Rosalind
Fairchild is on seemingly easy mission. Get in. Uncover the
secrets of her brother's disappearance. And get out. In order to infiltrate the Nighthawks and find their leader,
Sir Jasper Lynch, Rosalind will pose as their secretary. But
she doesn't count on Lynch being such a dangerously
charismatic man, challenging her at every turn, forcing her
to re-evaluate everything she knows about the enemy. He could be her most dangerous nemesis — or the ally she
never dreamed existed.

Re: My Lady Quicksilver
I know what you mean about lies. If you tell enough of them, it is hard to remember them all. This sounds like an interesting book. Thanks for the chance to win the giveaway.

When younger we all tell lies to some extent or another. Hubby & I saw his best friend's wife ruin their marriage due to this. Our #1 rule is No Lies, no matter what. 16 years of marriage, and we have lived with facing the hard truths of No Lies (can be harsher than people realize at times).
Reading your book blurb reminded me of Robert A Heilein's saying 'The best lies are hidden in some truth' -no a direct quote, but general idea. That the best way to keep your lies straight is to keep them simple & masked in at least some truth...
(Victoria Colyer-Kerr 7:04am October 4, 2013)
I was raised to always tell the truth. The sad part is that if I'm telling a lie, even a white one, people usually know, so I've found it best to just be straightforward with people, and if the circumstances hurt, where a lie could have smoothed them over for the time being, so be it. That was quite an emotional passage that you brought us today, and I'm anxious to read the rest of the book, and find out how the story unfolds!! Your book will have to be placed on my TBR list for sure!! The cover is very spellbinding. It draws you in, and makes you want to pick up the book to see what's inside!! Congratulations!!
(Peggy Roberson 7:32am October 4, 2013)
Lying never gets you anywhere and labels you as a dishonest person. Telling the truth is always the way to go! Look forward to reading your book also!!!
(Bonnie Capuano 11:13am October 4, 2013)
What a wonderful novel. I may sometimes lie but not to hurt
someone and only to be kind.
(Sharon Berger 11:17am October 4, 2013)
I think anyone who says they never had a lie come back and bite them at one time or another is lying! :) No offense anyone! I love the cover!!!
(Sally Hannoush 11:45am October 4, 2013)
I'm sure everyone has. I don't really know what it might have
been for me, though. I'm sure I will think of one later,
though.
(Karin Anderson 12:19pm October 4, 2013)
Lies are hard to remember. Truth is not.
(Leona Olson 12:38pm October 4, 2013)
I learned young that I do not lie well and so have simply
avoided telling them. It is amazing how well a non-commital
comment or Hmmmm... works in such instances.
(G. Bisbjerg 1:06pm October 4, 2013)
I get a monthly subscription box, and I told my husband I canceled it, thinking I would later in the day. I totally forgot, and the next month, my husband says, "This was waiting for you at the front door..." Oops! Luckily, he liked the box too, so I still get it.

When I was in high school I wanted to go to my guy friends basketball game which was an hour and a half drive away, I told my parents that I was going to ride with a friend. I then drove me and my friend to the game. I got home and thought all was peachy to find out my parents drove by her house to see if my car was parked in their drive-way. Busted! It wasn't and I was then grounded from a few of the men's basketball games. I did have fun but should have just listened to my parents and not have gone to the game as I missed even more games because of it.
(Lynne Pearson 2:28pm October 4, 2013)
Much better to tell the truth, telling lies never comes to any good. Look forward to reading your book, sounds really good.
(Jean Patton 3:39pm October 4, 2013)
I'm sure my parents probably knew/found out when I lied, but I
can't remember any serious consequences. As an adult, I don't
feel the need to lie..... though I might not volunteer
everything.
(Anne Muller 3:40pm October 4, 2013)
I can remember one lie from my early childhood that still haunts me today over 50 years later---and it wasn't even a big lie or an important one.
(Sue Farrell 4:22pm October 4, 2013)
I bet on Christmas you turned as read as that shirt.
(Callie Stuck 5:25pm October 4, 2013)
Always feel so guilty after we lie to someone. So,keep tryin to be honest, no matter hard it is
(Rina Darmayanti 5:43pm October 4, 2013)
i laugh when i lie so i always get caught!!!!
(Jennifer Beck 7:17pm October 4, 2013)
They nearly always bite you back, so I try very hard never
to tell anything other than the little social lies--"You
look great today," or "I'm so glad you brought your special
fudge."
And since that last one would mean I would have to choke
down a piece of that "special fudge," it would bite me back
in a hurry.
(Janet Martin 8:17pm October 4, 2013)
I am sure I have but I can not remember any off the top of my head at the moment.
(Chelsea Knestrick 9:30pm October 4, 2013)
Wow, Congrats on your new book: MY LADY QUICKSILVER. I love
the book cover too! Yes, when I was young I am sure that I
told some lies but since growing up to an adult I have put
GOD First in my life and do my best to tell the Truth as
much as I can. I would love to win and read your book this
Fall. Thank You very much. Cecilia CECE
(Cecilia Dunbar Hernandez 9:34pm October 4, 2013)
Yes, I have told a lie and thank goodness, there was enough evidences to support the lie and it is the only one I told. I don't think I could keep track if I told multiple lies. It hasn't come back to bite me yet.
(Kai Wong 10:34pm October 4, 2013)
I'm pretty sure something I've not really told anyone, is going to be coming and
biting me sometime soon... maybe I'll be lucky though and it won't.
(Rachel B 10:54pm October 4, 2013)
I always enjoy meeting authors new to me. Your book sounds like one I
would enjoy.
(Jackie Wisherd 11:31pm October 4, 2013)
sounds like a great book when you do lie so many times you
it would be hard to remember what you said to that person
because each time you do tell a lir people always add
something new to the lie that wasnt said before
(Denise Smith 12:10pm October 5, 2013)
Not come back to bite me, per say, but one little white lie can quickly turn complicated. Lie about this, which means you have to lie about that... You either have to have an extraordinary memory to remember them all, or be an awesome storyteller. I do not have a extraordinary memory. *WINK*
(Chelsea Brooks 12:23pm October 5, 2013)
I've been on the receiving end of lies many times. I find that if you always
tell the truth, then you never have to try to remember what you've said. I
also try never to say anything about someone that I wouldn'tsaydirectly to
their face.
(Debbie Burdeen 9:07am October 5, 2013)
Lies cause nothing but problems. I always try to be honest and hate when I find I've been lied to. But, this book sounds really great and I look forward to reading it, win or lose.
(Vennie Martinisi 10:26am October 5, 2013)
Lies catch up with you even if they are little white lies. If you tell too may lies, you have to tell another one to cover up one you already told. Thanks for the giveaway.
(Gayle Pace 10:36am October 5, 2013)
This seems like a good book to read in the evening after a hard days work. I lose myself in books and can't wait to read yours.
(Melissa Taylor 11:21am October 5, 2013)
I think everyone has at some point told a lie and had it come back to bite them. I think we all learn from it.
(Pam Howell 1:25pm October 5, 2013)
Lying always comes back and bites you in the you know what!! It also shows others that you are dishonest.
(Bonnie Capuano 4:20pm October 5, 2013)
Lying catches up to you even if the intent is to do no harm it can end badly. It also paints you with a poison brush that is hard to break away from.
(Darci Paice 6:20pm October 5, 2013)
all the time as a kid i was a compulsive liar. i took me a
long time to realize that it was better to tell the truth. it
bite me in the butt a lot. book looks awesome
(Leanne Jacobson 10:12pm October 5, 2013)
This sounds like a very interesting book. As for telling a lie that has come back on me? I can't think of one off the top of my head. I try very hard not to lie for the simple fact that they can come back and bite you on the rear.
(Larena Hubble 10:12pm October 5, 2013)
Thanks for all the comments guys, sounds like a few of us have had some
doozies and we all know lies tend to bite the hand that feeds them.
However, I find it really interesting to write about the consequences of a lie,
especially in My Lady Quicksilver (the perverted author part of me couldn't wait
until Rosalind was caught!). As a side note, exploring that growing sense of
trust between two enemies wear also fun - especially as Rosa grew more and
more tied up in what she was saying. A part of the reason she gets caught is
because she wants to be. She's tired of the hero not knowing the truth, and
even though she feels awful and knows (or thinks) he'll never trust her again,
there's a sense of relief that the truth is out. AKA me with the christmas shirt.
It's a running joke in my household that even when I do buy things on sale now,
BF is like, 'Sure, sure, it was on 'sale'." Thanks for commenting guys! And best
of luck to everyone!
(Bec McMaster 5:57pm October 6, 2013)
Lying takes a lot of work to keep it going and to keep it
straight. Once a lie is told, it seems to gain momentum and
gets embellished with more to prove your point again and
again. Sometimes, if you're good at reading body language,
you can figure out when the lies are starting to come out.
the truth may be hard to admit, but it's hard to deny.
