Then God Is Forgiven

About the Book

Megan was a young British actress in Shaw’s “St. Joan” in Portsmouth when he first saw her. He met her and lost her. He went to Hollywood as a would-be writer and she followed with a Swedish husband and a tremendous talent. He watched her through two husbands, several race car drivers and a grilling by Sen. Joe McCarthy. He married her sister but always wondered if it were Megan that he loved.

“Then God is Forgiven” is a novel of an actress who didn’t care about the injuries her actions inflicted on others, and of an Ohio youth who became a lost man through her.
