This isn’t about a book I’m reading. It is a shameless plug for a book I wrote. From time to time I write under the name Marla Todd. It is the name I usually use for mainstream non-paranormal and non-vampire style of stories. Check it out. Leave a review. Tell your friends about it. You might even thank me for it later.
Exceptional Liars: A Novel by Marla Todd

Five Star Reviews:
Ever wish you could leave your life behind and just disappear?
That’s what main character Liz Hobbs does in Exceptional Liars. And I was hooked from the start.
Liz has a dysfunctional childhood, and then later in life gets trapped in an abusive marriage. She’s on the brink of self-destruction when she’s kidnapped by a murderous rapist and presumed dead, given a second chance at life.
A chance escape and rediscover who she really is.
With the help of a smart and edgy lawyer, Alex Goldstein, Liz does exactly that- flees her traumatic past and starts over with a new identity. But that’s just the beginning for Liz, as her journey is chock full of heart-pumping escapes, romantic ventures, and calls so close, you’ll be hanging by the edge of your seat.
The characters are riveting, the scenery beautifully painted, and the plot so shockingly brilliant that author Marla Todd leaves you craving more.
If you ever take a chance on a book, this is the one to do it with. You will not regret it. Highly recommended. Bravo to the author! Can’t wait to read more of her work. 5 stars!
I love it when reviewers can write about my books better than I can. Seriously for anyone who writes describing your own books is not an easy task.
Official Description: Alex Goldstein has a thriving law practice with his wife Tasha Alexander. Life is is good. Well, except for the fact that he drinks too much, and his wife regularly cheats on him. To keep his mind off of his problems Alex writes about by serial killers. His most recent obsession is The Killer of Virtue.
Liz Hobbs is born into a large family of sneaky manipulative children where their unhealthy fear of God ranks second to the fear of their narcissistic parents. Unfortunately she falls in love with Greg Atkinson who is far more sneaky and manipulative than any of them.
Liz ends up in the Law office of Alexander and Goldstein. Alex helps her build a new life as his own life falls apart.
Exceptional Liars is a roller coaster ride of a book – full of unexpected twists and turns, witty dialogue and interesting characters.
Warning: Violence, adult situations, swear words
I might be ready to do a free give-away soon for electronic copies so stay tuned. If not it is a cheap thrill download on Amazon and will help send my offspring through graduate school so she can make this sorry world of ours a better place. This book is also available in a beautiful softbound (paperback) addition. Click here for the link.
