Friday's Book Excerpt: Watching You

Read book excerpt here: http://askdavid.com/preview/13025

 This story is a twist on a Cinderella tale but this time it's a tale that's in reverse. Here the heroine goes from Riches to Rags! I had great fun writing this book as I also explored the villain's point of view.

When Angeline Hamilton's father dies, she is shocked to discover she is about to lose her family home. It's been purchased by a local wealthy businessman, Sebastian Tremaine, who she begins to detest. The talk is that Angeline's father had lost most of the family wealth as he had incurred gambling debts, which shocks her. However she has no idea that someone is out there lurking, watching and waiting. He wishes to destroy Angeline forever.

Murdered for his money?

There are now reports from Michael Jackson's family, particularly La Toya Jackson, that he was murdered. She claims there was a circle of shadowy figures who kept him from his family. He supposedly kept around £ 1 million at his home, and that along with some jewellery, has now gone missing.

See here:

And what the LA police chief says here:

Maybe Michael Jackson was murdered, who knows? There is a second autopsy report and toxicology report due shortly. But I can't help thinking that all of this is reminding me of when Princess Diana died. There are still people around today who believe she was murdered by some sort of secret service or even members of the royal family.

Could it be that people, particularly Michael's family, don't want to accept that he might have died from a self induced drugs overload and would prefer to think there were 'shadowy figures' out there responsible for his death.

In one article I read, La Toya claims that Michael was 'the loneliest man in the world' and had no real friends. Yet, I know of at least one good friend he had and that was Mark Lester, the former child star from the movie, Oliver. Jackson often visited Mark's home and they did 'normalish' things together. Mark is a godparent to Michael's children, so he must have trusted him. I also noticed him at the the memorial service.

Could it be that most of his family were so out of touch with Michael that they had no idea what was going on in his life? After all, it's often the case when someone dies that the people who did the least have the most to say. I hope I'm wrong about that though...
