Saving
Grace

by
D.M. Barr

Genre:
Psychological Thriller

Grace
Pierrepoint Rendell, the only child of an ailing billionaire, has
been treated for paranoia since childhood. When she secretly quits
her meds, she begins to suspect that once her father passes, her
husband will murder her for her inheritance. Realizing that no one
will believe the ravings of a supposed psychotic, she devises a
creative way to save herself – she will write herself out of
danger, authoring a novel with the heroine in exactly the same
circumstances, thus subtly exposing her husband’s scheme to the
world. She hires acclaimed author Lynn Andrews to help edit her
literary insurance policy, but when Lynn is murdered, Grace is
discovered standing over the bloody remains. The clock is ticking:
can she write and publish her manuscript before she is strapped into
a straitjacket, accused of homicide, or lowered six feet under?

With
a cast of secondary characters whose challenges mirror Grace’s own,
Saving Grace is, at it’s core, an allegory for the struggle of the
marginalized to be heard and live life on their own terms.



By
day, a mild-mannered salesperson, wife, mother, rescuer of senior
shelter dogs, competitive trivia player and author groupie, happily
living just north of New York City. By night, an author of sex,
suspense and satire.

My
background includes stints in travel marketing, travel journalism,
meeting planning, public relations and real estate. I was, for a long
and happy time, an award-winning magazine writer and editor. Then
kids happened. And I needed to actually make money. Now they’re off
doing whatever it is they do (of which I have no idea since they
won’t friend me on Facebook) and I can spend my spare time weaving
tales of debauchery and whatever else tickles my fancy.

The
main thing to remember about my work is that I am NOT one of my
characters. For example, as a real estate broker, I’ve never played
Bondage Bingo in one of my empty listings or offed anyone at my local
diet clinic.

But
that’s not to say I haven’t wanted to…
