The School For Femmes Fatales

The Femme Fatale is the deadliest of women - one who understands men and uses their weaknesses for her own advantage - and above all she glories in her femininity. She is a Celebration of Womanhood to be enjoyed by both men and women.

The characters of my novels typify different styles of the Femme Fatale: Jill Woods seduces the uptight School Principal Edward Roberts and makes him forget his fiancée Lucilla, her father's funeral and appointments he has made to interview parents. No woman has ever made him feel like she has made him feel and no man can resist her brand of sexy seduction for very long.

Newly widowed Meredith West is another style of Femme Fatale, the Lady Sweet and Kind, whose face and manner inspire sincere devotion from both men and women alike, while her aunt Louisa Bridge is the high status Grand Dame married to the richest man in town. Widowed three times, George Bridge eventually caught her between husbands.

Seventeen year-old Shara Phillips, the narrator of For Lucilla is the innocent Fledgeling Femme Fatale who all the boys find fascinating, especially when she models the feminine mannerisms of her grandmother Meredith and Aunt Louisa. Lainie Woods, the narrator of For Jill typifies the not-so-innocent Femme Fatale, who successfully manages every man she comes into contact with, from her father, her great-uncle, his lawyer and her many male admirers, all of them in fact, with the exception of Ash her nemesis, the childhood sweetheart she has never forgotten.

Since my last blog entry I have been busy writing the next few novels in this series which I have decided to call The School For Femmes Fatales as they show the young narrators learning from their elders and from their own mistakes how to become the Perfect Femme Fatale.
