Romance
At the height of the Cold War, Marilyn Monroe was the most
infamous woman in the world. But what if she was also a
secret Soviet spy? In 1947, a young, unknown Norma Jeane Baker meets a
mysterious man in Los Angeles who transforms her into
Marilyn Monroe, the star. Twelve years later he comes back
for his repayment, and Marilyn is given her first assignment
from the KGB: uncover something about JFK that no one else
knows. But a simple job turns complicated when Marilyn falls in
love with the bright young President, and learns of plans to
assassinate Kennedy. More than anything, Marilyn wants to
escape her Soviet handlers and save her love—and herself.
Desperate, ruthless and brilliant, what she does next will
leave readers reeling. From New York Times bestselling author Anna Godbersen comes
a whip-smart re-imagining of the life of Marilyn Monroe, set
in a world of silver screen glamour and political intrigue.
At once a crackling portrayal of Old Hollywood, an intimate
portrait of the larger-than-life star, and a cat-and-mouse
thriller, The Blonde is history rewritten as it could have—
and might have been.

Re: The Blonde
Since I was growing up during the period of that famous
mysterious love affair, I would love to read this book, and
to read your spin on it!! After reading your posting, I can
tell that you have a sense of respect and love for both of
them, which will probably come through in your book.
Congratulations on what I'm sure is going to be a good
seller, and I'm sure people aren't going to look at it, just
to see the pages that you've pointed out - they're going to
read it cover to cover!!

When I was in a writers group, they said not to hurry through
a sex scene - that is was meant to be savored and enjoyed.
