Dear Reader,

One of my Pavodte old movies, Teacher s Pet,

starring Clak Gable and Dods Day, inspired me to

create a hero who masquerades as someone he s

not. Combine that potentially explosive Ingredient

with a lively, trusting heroine who takes truth,

honesty and honor very sedously and you have a

redpe for trouble. No matter what pretty name, or

justifiable reason, you attach to deception, It s what It

is and, Inevitably, it returns to haunt you---usually In

the worst way. at the worst of all possible moments.

just ask Daniel Grayson, the hero ofA Regular Joe.

Too late, he realizes he s on a collision course with

self-Imposed disaster and that he s head over heels in

love with Marie Roland, the bubbly, unique female

he thoroughly deceived. If Mattie discovers the truth,

the fur wlU fly--most of It Daniel s, no doubt. Since

Daniel lied about his Identity, how can he convince

Mattle that he speaks the truth when he says he loves

her? Like she ll believe that, coming from his lying

lips!

moral of this stood? The lies you tell are gonna

get you if you don t watch out/And so, dear readers,

the charade beans...

EnJoy!
