About the Book

"A fascinating expose of the power, the treachery and the life and death struggles behind the headlines of today's glamorous high fashion art scene in New York and Paris, delivered in a page-turning thriller format. I couldn't stop reading. This is certain to appeal to anyone who loves art!"

When New York City's top art agent, April Mercier, discovers the hidden, presumed destroyed and blood-tainted Paris Collections she realizes that her family's famous name is built upon the murder of Jewish families and the pillaging of their art. Haunted by memories of abuse and murder, hunted by vengeful enemies and hounded by a Nazi hunter, April Mercier's life and sanity are teetering on the brink. But April needs to keep the Collection, not only to save her career, but to understand her damaged past.

Forever Art follows April's journey of discovery and self-discovery through the twisted, shadowy channels of the international art world, its openings, auctions, back stabbings, jealousies, dirty-deals and the overriding beauty of its substance. Based upon historical events and including today's scandals, Forever Art is a thriller that rings truer than fiction; it exposes the naked soul of a powerful but decadent business.

About the Author

My years as an acting student at Lee Strasberg, as a buyer in the Parisian fashion world, and now as a tri-lingual consultant to wealthy European art collectors, have given me ample experience to turn the world I know and love into an engrossing thriller. I understand the international high fashion art world intimately and bring it alive on the pages of Forever Art, the novel that introduces my damaged heroine April Mercier.
