Produktbeschreibung
Six decades after her death, Marilyn Monroe, not only remains a Hollywood legend, a woman who broke the mold as a female icon of her time, but also a mystery because of the nature of her death. One of the most successful women of her time, suddenly ends up dead in her home, reportedly from an overdose. The investigators are quick to sign it off as "suicide" - but the oddities do not add up to that conclusion. Marilyn was an influential woman, a progressive, and she had the ear of the then President of the U.S.A. John F. Kennedy. There were people who saw her as a threat. This opens the door to another perspective; did this highly successful and vibrant woman actually take her own life at the age of 36, was she that depressed, or was she targeted? The only person who can answer that question and reveal the truth is Marilyn, but she's dead - right? In Dead but not Gone, without spoilers, a strange phenomenon sweeps over the cemetery where Marilyn was buried in 1962, and within minutes, the bizarre rattling can be heard coming from her coffin - and what emerges is not her boney remains, but in fact, Marilyn, just as beautiful as the day she was laid to rest. Utterly confused and disoriented, she stumbles her way through West Hollywood and finally meets someone who helps her. Marilyn gets a 2nd chance at life, and she intends on telling the world what really happened on that fateful night - and that is about to send her on a rollercoaster ride. Dead but not Gone is a bit of a romance, a good dose of humor, a bit of this and that - but one thing is for sure - it gives our legendary blonde the respect she is due and a chance to tell you, the reader, her story and not the one pawned off on the world by others. "I loved the premise of this book, I found the pace good, I liked the story. I think my only drawback would be for a bit more detail, but overall, I really enjoyed the story and the possibility of "WHAT IF". No one really knows what did happen, I liked how the author gave some plausible possibilities, that could be true of what happened to her." - Francis L. "Finally, a book that gives a different look at Marilyn, and a happy ending that she rightly deserves!!!!!! The only reason I did not give it 5 stars was the science part of the book, it drugged on a little too long. But in all a Great Book!!!! Marilyn fans if only this was true." - DJ READER RADAR ALERT! Real Laplaine is THE most unique author I've ever read and thoroughly enjoyed.....a true wizard of words! In his subtle way he opens your mind and gives the reader an alternative way to see things. - Yankeelin With just the perfect amount of technical and scientific information you dive into a compelling story of what ifs. Funny, with drama and a touch of a love story this book had it all. Thank you Réal for this wonderful opportunity to see life from beyond the grave. - April B.
Autorenporträt
Inspired by Richard Bach, author of Jonathan Livingston Seagull, Illusions and The Bridge Across Forever, I discovered not only a passion to write, but also a channel, a means of helping to raise awareness in a world where people, trying to change things for the better, were being fought and silenced, where racism, greed and war were commonplace, and a society that was being dumbed down primarily through a system of "education", cultural propaganda and ideology - both political and religious. I write high-concept thrillers and speculative fiction in geopolitical, crime, sometimes bordering on science fiction, and often times inspiring stories. I love story-telling and especially, I enjoy weaving my stories with compelling and eye-opening perspectives about the world we live in and hopefully, inspiring my readers to see a better vision, a higher one and a world where the good guys win and actual peace and justice is possible.
