IF YOU ONLY READ 1 BOOK THIS YEAR...MAKE IT THIS ONE!

Glittering secrets has everything that a lover of mystery, drama, suspense, and film noir could ask
for. The descriptive scenarios conjured by Ms. Simpson will take your imagination to new and
darker places, while creating, in your mind, vivid pictures of the troubled and disturbing world of a
woman that you will soon know all too well. Without giving away the 'secrets,' I would suggest that
you clear your schedule on a rainy day or a dark evening and turn off your phone. You won't
want to be disturbed by anyone...the story is 'disturbing enough.' When you sit down with this
book, you won't be able to stop reading until the very last page.

THE MOST SPELLBINDING BOOK I'VE READ IN YEARS!

This is a book that is meant to be a film. Every character is so vivid. I was absolutely engrossed in
the plot and was absolutely spell binding. The pace was very fast and characters were very
strong. The surprise ending just floored me! I can usually predict the end, but not with Glittering
Secrets!!! Fast pace and a quick read. Couldn't put it down!!!

MOVE OVER SUSPENSE WRITERS!!  

The Genre of Suspense will have to make room for the newest suspense writer, Taryn Simpson.
'Glittering Secrets', was action packed with a spell-binding plot that was unpredictable in it's
ending, but, leaves the reader with a 'feel-good' feeling. I can hardly wait for her next novel.

DEFINITELY NEEDS A SEQUEL!  

I got Taryn's book the other day and have finished reading. It was very enjoyable, especially all
the references to Nashville. think Taryn definitely has talent and should continue to pursue this

Is it an intriguing story?
Yes, while the main plot of the book is a dark one, there are comedic moments and subplots that
allow a break in the tension of the story overall. Judging from readers’ comments, the balance of
the story is maintained that keeps the audience from realizing the outcome of the story until the
last page of the book.

“Glittering Secrets” the film

What makes this film marketable?
The author of the book is actively pursuing Ashley Judd for the title role of the film and feels
certain that interest will ensue. Ms. Judd has long been an avid filmmaker herself and with the
convenience of working from “home”, it would seem to be a logical choice for her to participate in
the film. Ms. Judd has a lengthy list of film credits and has starred in films similar in style to
Glittering Secrets.
The genre of thriller/suspense films are enjoying more success than other types of film (Ebert &
Roeper). The main component of a thriller film has to be an intriguing, believable, and well written
story. That means the characters of the film are developed to the fullest extent, and the audience
is taken on a journey to observe a character that feels genuine.
Nashville is enjoying resurgence in popularity due in part to the music industry and to Corporate
America’s appreciation of the affordability of doing business in the state. Nashville has also been
rated as the best place to live recently, and positive marketing of the city is already in place.
