Produktbeschreibung
Lillian Lorraine was a naive 15-year-old chorine on Broadway when she attracted the notice of the notorious 41-year-old Florenz Ziegfeld. Accustomed to getting what he wanted, Ziegfeld took Lillian under his wing and into his arms, giving her coveted numbers in the Ziegfeld Follies and taking control of her career. But Lillian's rebellious spirit chafed against him, refusing to play according to his rules, and nearly destroying her own career in the process. The Adored One follows her through rise and fall after rise and fall as she comes of age in a world where her youthful beauty was an asset-and a liability. "Talented, beautiful, fiercely independent, flighty... there aren't enough adjectives to describe the intensely sympathetic and heartbreakingly reckless Lillian Lorraine... Buckle up; it's a wild ride. I enjoyed The Adored One immensely." - Mitchell James Kaplan, author of Rhapsody "Broadway of over a hundred years ago comes vividly to life in this story of the enchanting showgirl Lillian Lorraine. You will cheer for this gorgeous survivor all the way." - Stephanie Cowell, American Book Award winner and author of Claude & Camille and The Boy in the Rain
Autorenporträt
I am the award-winning author of over a dozen historical novels set in a variety periods, all featuring strong women. For material, I have roamed through history from the middle ages in Southern France (The Orphans of Tolosa Trilogy) to Russia during the Revolution (Anastasia's Secret), passing through the court of Louis XIV, the French Revolution, Romantic era Paris, the Crimea, and early 20th century New York. I have a PhD in Music History from Yale-the spur that set me onto my career as a historical novelist. My love of Regency Romance has been lying in wait for me for decades, and I've finally succumbed to the lure of this captivating genre. This book is the first in a series of stand-alone novels called Double-Dilemma Romance. In addition to being a writer, I am certified as a book coach in fiction, nonfiction, and memoir by Author Accelerator, working 1:1 with many remarkable writers. I also teach workshops, and have lovingly built several online self-paced courses for writers, the most recent of which is The Heart of Historical Romance. You can find more information about my books and about working with me on my website, Susanne-dunlap.com.
