The Illusion Of Order

by Jean Marie Stanberry

Overview

Jenna Bruce was a rising star. An accomplished figure skater, a diligent student and recently engaged to the love of her life. Life was perfect, full of promise, till she woke up in the hospital and realized life as she knew it, was now over.

Fearing that she will fall into an irreversible depression, her family sends her to Scotland to stay with distant relatives in the hope that a change of scenery will help her to get her life back on track.

Life in rural Scotland is comforting, except for the fact that her great aunt Maggie is hell bent on finding her a “suitable gentleman” to date. A trip to London and a day at the famed Ascot horse races promises to be quite an adventure, but when Jenna crosses paths with an old friend and his rival Arthur Sandringham, things quickly veer off track.

Jenna soon finds herself back in the public eye, but in a less flattering light and she soon finds herself forced to make some very hard choices. Will she go along with what everyone seems to expect of her? Or will she follow her heart and ignite the biggest scandal Great Britain has seen in some time?

About the Author

Jean Stanberry has been addicted to literature her entire life. As a child she had stacks of books, which she would read over and over again. She also loved to write, a pastime her father, a published author himself, encouraged. Later in college, Jean had the opportunity to travel to Great Britain to study under some very brilliant literature professors, who cemented her desire to write.

Jean has been retired from professional figure skating for many years, but she has recently enjoyed coaching and choreography and has worked with both competitive and professional figure skaters. She also enjoys writing articles for several sports magazines, but "Laying Low In Hollywood" is her first novel, and she is hoping to share many more.

Jean lives in the Rocky Mountains of Northwest Montana with her husband of twenty three years, Gary and their two children, Ryan and Lauren. Jean also has a Golden Retriever named Molly. She works full time as a surgical nurse and she loves figure skating, cross country skiing, hiking and kayaking.
