The Dangerous Ties

About the Book

Author Jeanne Lucchesi was born and raised in Haiti where she earned

Bachelor's degrees in Liberal Arts and Philosophy from St. Rose De Lima in

Port-au-Prince.  After her marriage and the birth of their first child,

Jeanne was forced to flee to the United States when the private militia

knocked at their door, during the dark period of President Duvalier.

Jeanne arrived in the United States on the week of the assassination of

President John F. Kennedy.  She was tremendously shaken, realizing that no

place was free of violence.

Residing in New York, she continued her education, at Pace University, while

raising two children and eventually found employment as a bookkeeper.  Years

later she developed a severe back problem that limited her physical

activities and lead her to a premature retirement.  At that point, Jeanne

began writing.

In "The Dangerous Ties," she writes about a young and candid Haitian girl who

discovers her first love miles away from her sheltered way of life.  That

love throws her into a whirlpool of circumstances and she finds herself

caught in a web of political intrigues against the Duvalier regime.  When her

lover gets betrayed and killed by the regime, she takes on the cause  and

becomes an active revolutionary agent.

Mrs. Lucchesi has had several poems published and has won writing contest.  

This is her first novel.

About the Author

Ms. Lucchesi has just published her first novel “The Dangerous Ties” and she intends to continue writing. “In Mortal Fear” is a 51,000 words science fiction. It is the story of a young archeologist, Sandy Blais, who stumbles upon the discovery of an E.T. computer chip. A contact is made and the Alien told of the past history of mankind, still unknown to us, along with a message of an upcoming cataclysm that could destroy the Earth. As a result of that discovery, Sandy, along with her boyfriend Alan Monnet and another close friend, Gabriel, both also archeologists, find their lives disrupted by a chasing FBI, with Desmond in charge, who treats them as trouble-makes, fit to be locked up or killed at sight. They run for the lives, yet they decide, against all odds, to warn the masses as the lives of everyone are at stake with the forecast of disaster. Time is running short. Sandy gets traced, not only by Desmond, her worst nightmare, but by others, of which, one friendly protector, also of another FBI division, a young charming special agent. He offers her a temporary relief from Desmond. As she and Alan are prepared to flee from their home once again, Alan goes for a last minute shopping trip and never returns. Meanwhile, an Army Colonel, David Lafayette, Sandy’s cousin, comes to the rescue, and after several obstacles, manages to put Sandy into the safest place on Earth: an army station, his station. Yet the worst has to come. Chaos and confusion reign as the tragic end of the World comes. Hundred of thousand die. Sandy, with a handful of friends, survive to tell, with the help of an unseen alien, whose plan is yet to be unraveled.
