Welcome to the world of Helliston, where nothing is as it seems and almost everyone is deceitful. When money, power, jealousy, and greed are the only things that matter, can anyone survive?
The Helliston family's seemingly idyllic existence unravels in this globe-trotting tale of a wealthy family's unimaginable downward spiral from pride and narcissistic tendencies. Some manage to rise above chaos and forge success; some fall victim to the manufactured conflict.
Follow as the family struggles to keep their heads above water while the dead weight of manipulation brings them down. You may laugh at the lengths people go to hurt others; you may become shocked and disturbed. You may also take delight in the elevation of seeing a few souls outwit the beast.
See what it's like to have a vortex of manipulation trying to drag you down. Who will be left swimming? Live a year in the life of Helliston to find out. In this first part of the series, we get to know our characters and see who is pulling the strings of power. What comes next will make your head spin...try being the author of this book series, which is loosely based on her life. And it hit her like a cyclone...one minute everything is fine, but the next is total chaos.
ABOUT THE AUTHORHello, my name is Daminique Mayor, although it really isn't. I have chosen to keep my name anonymous to protect my innocence. If you make it through the entirety of this series, you will understand why. This story is about my journey in life, and I'm glad you have chosen to be a part. This Helliston series has a very personal meaning and comes from a place of extreme comfort and knowledge of the characters. And let this be a warning to those who practice deception...sometimes you don't know who the storyteller will be. If anyone in this series of books resonates with you, our job has been well done.
Of course, these works in the Helliston series are fiction...aren't they? You can be the judge. For sure, they were inspired by real life events, because you can't make this stuff up. Head down the rabbit hole, please. We look forward to sharing this epic story with you. Sincerely, Daminique. MORE DETAILS ON THE SERIES
Based on real life, the laws of human nature, and a famous line written in the 1808 poem by Sir Walter Scott, Oh, what a tangled web we weave, when we first practice to deceive! Because dishonesty and lies can lead to complex and difficult-to-resolve situations, as one lie requires more lies to maintain the original deception, which often creates a complicated entanglement of problems. If you get a kiss from a spider woman, chances are she's already got you in her web. We highly recommend reading the About This Author section and the back cover of this book thoroughly before engaging in the novel series, and please, start with Part One so you can receive all the context.
