It
starts with forgetting to lock the refrigerator door, with the letter
received from the mother who abandoned her twenty-five years earlier, in
a whirlwind of awakening which will force Sylvie out of the predictable
life she has come to know.
Poisoned
in a nearly fatal accident as a child, Sylvie now exists in a world
where strict self-imposed limitations are never to be questioned.
Sometimes, though, entire empires are forced to crumble, and hers is no
exception.
After learning she occupies the apartment of a once
murdered woman, Sylvie uses news reports about the murder to create
another identity--a dual identity capable of accomplishing anything.
Sylvie
will learn that more frightening than fighting her fears is
battling her perception of self. While breaking the shackles
caging her in appears at first to be the answer, she soon realizes she
no longer knows who she is. After all, what have you accomplished when
living a lie--and, who are you once you aren't who you always understood yourself to be?
In a schizophrenic tale of dual identities, readers will see there is more than one way of Poisoning Sylvie!

Amy Winehouse’s bright star burned out on July 23 2011. Amy lived a
rock-star lifestyle to the max, replacing an addiction to drugs with a
battle against alcohol. When she died, aged 27, she joined a long list
of musicians whose lives had been tragically cut short at the same age –
the likes of Jim Hendrix, Kurt Cobain and Jim Morrison.
She burst onto
the scene with her debut album, “Frank”, in 2003. But it was her
follow-up, “Back To Black”, in 2006 that won her millions of fans right
around the world. She won five Grammy Awards for the album, which went
six-times Platinum in the UK. Her chart success, though, would always
be measured against a personal life full of trauma.
She wrote “Back To
Black” about Blake Fielder-Civil, who she married in 2007. But they
spent little time together as a married couple as Blake was sent to
prison. Theirs was a stormy romance, and despite divorcing they would
remain in love with each other until she died.
There were always plenty
of other men in Amy’s life, though. In the end she died alone in her
bed. A bodyguard kept her protected from the outside world, but nobody
could protect her from herself…
