VENTURE. In her hometown of Sydney, Australia, bio-chemist and DNA expert, Lydia meets John, a British scientist working on a top secret navy project. After an intense couple of weeks together, he is called back home, and learns he has been fired. Lydia persuades John to return to Sydney to develop a radical new invention of his. She helps him get his invention working. Life seems sweet until she discovers she must contend with his former girlfriend and a shady Russian outfit posing as venture capitalists who are trying to steal the invention. When the Russians play hardball, Lydia realizes she must literally put her life on the line to save everything they have built for themselves. *** "When I told my friend Mark I was thinking of writing a novel he suggested a few plot lines. I went with one of them and set it Sydney, Australia, where he lives. This gave me the excuse to visit him and to research the locations. The heroine, Lydia, is a composite of several intelligent, beautiful, single-minded women I have known.Venture is a fast paced and often humorous romance story set against the background of industrial espionage." ~ Bill ~
