About this title

About the Author:

For many years, Nita was a Vice President at Security Pacific Bank (now Bank of America). As a global executive in the International Private Banking division, she provided financial advice to high net worth clients in Asia, Mexico, South America, and Europe. She draws on diverse passions, including her love for the South of France, speaking, singing, teaching, and traveling. Her writing includes contributions to books on autism, corporate training and marketing (as well as those you'll discover in this website). Recently, Nita has been asked to join other artists in facilitating workshops for people who are interested in exploring France as a place to visit or live (full or part time) to develop their writing and other artistic skills. These workshops take place in a magnificent setting in the ancient town of Limoux near Carcassonne in southern France. Montfaucon provides a tranquil and peaceful setting where guests can reconnect with a different pace of life and a world where priorities are placed on creativity, comfort, collaboration and community. It is a chance to explore a part of ourselves that rarely gets expressed in hectic pace of modern day life. For information on Nita's upcoming workshops and a more in-depth discussion of the magic to be found at Montfaucon (and to download the brochure) visit her website at NitaHughes. Nita's books - both historical and fiction - involve successful professionals who find themselves drawn into dramatic events - often that reach back thousands of years - which reveal mysteries with the potential to transform our world today. Her books explore what happens when the influence of political power and religious dogma meet up with spiritual awareness - a kind of wisdom that is beginning to find expression through individual growth and the empowerment of committed relationships.

Review:

I couldn't put it down. A story of intrigue set in the turbulent last days of Philippine President, Ferdinand Marcos, as seen through the eyes of an American banker. Nita Hughes' perspective on this period comes from personal experience and it shows. Entertaining from the first page to the last. --Mary Carryer, former Vice Chairman, Bank of Hawaii

The world of international finance has many dimensions and many faces. Nita Hughes, a veteran in the field of international private banking, has crafted a superb novel of danger and intrigue, along with a touch of romance, in this compelling tale. A wonderful time capsule that transported me back to the incomparable charms, challenges and mysteries of the Philippines. --Dr. Rex Beach, former U.S. Executive Director, Asian Development Bank

Exciting, captivating and fast-paced. I was swept away by its excellently crafted plot - one which exposes political intrigue at the highest levels and with the lowest scruples. --Gregory Orr, retired Diplomat, U.S. State Department
