Author Spotlight ~ What She Knew


We have a special treat at the desk today. Kimberly Hughes and Tamy Burns, better known as the writing team behind the trilogy, What She Knew. Much like real life, this fictional tale of what Marilyn Monroe may have known, and of Kennedy's assassination is riddled with conspiracies, lies, threats and secrets. The ever-present, what ifs abound in this thought-provoking and entertaining first novel in the trilogy.


Book one, “Fateful Night” is on sale right now for 99¢ and is a must read in advance of the second book, “Darkest Day”. Speaking of the second book in the What She Knew trilogy, it was released on 17 September! And, there's a book launch planned for 20 September that you are all invited to attend. It's always a great party when Kimberly and Tamy get together with their friends – old and new!


Did Marilyn Monroe commit suicide? Did someone get away with an elaborate plot to murder the famous sex goddess? On that “Fateful Night” in August 1962 find out what may have happened to her and why she was killed. Many argue that she was involved in way too many secrets from different factions of the world. She was a smart woman who could play the dumb blonde to attain her stardom yet she unwittingly learned of conspiracy plots and political threats that would not only end her life but that of the current president, John F. Kennedy.

In this fast paced suspense every major player of the early sixties is involved, from the world politicians, to the Rat Pack, to Hollywood, and the mafia. What if Marilyn Monroe had lived and what if what she knew could have saved JFK?
Fact or fiction? What if....

Before we exit the room, here's a sneak peek at the newest addition to the 
What She Knew Trilogy:

“Darkest Day”
By K R Hughes and T L Burns

On the tragic day of John F. Kennedy’s assassination, the nation mourns the loss of a president who stood for radical change and whose charisma carried him through the masses with never before seen devotion. Kennedy’s determination to pay the U.S. back for his good fortune never wavered, with a presidency riddled in strife from the Cuban Missile Crisis to the Cold War and finally to the Vietnam conflict 
nothing was easy for him.

In this fictional novel, Kennedy isn’t on a world tour or even in Texas in 1963. Instead he is in the Alps recovering from back surgery, a ruse that he had planned with Bobby, and his double months in advance 
of the tour. With the oval office tapped and the ever present Bobby running interference there was little likelihood that anyone would realize this was not the president. In fact, no one did.

Now, the world believes they’re beloved president is dead, there is no going back for Jack. While the decisions are difficult, it is far better to leave his ‘death’ alone than to risk political failure for his family 
clan and ridicule for his young widow.

Kennedy must now take on another face, name, and identity. Who is behind the assassination? What was the ultimate goal in killing the president? Was it to topple the American government and take down the Kennedy’s with it? Find out in this action packed conspiracy novel.
