About Little Miss Fortune

"Echoes of the JonBenét murder mystery permeate this exceptionally well executed, sinfully clever, and deeply absorbing psychological drama." --Author David Aretha"Dark and filled with a gritty tension that will leave readers feeling raw, Sans Emmert's Little Miss Fortune is a twisted tale of love, deception, and the blurring of lines between reality and make-believe.... Sans Emmert has created an atmosphere that draws readers in, almost holding our breath as we fall deeper into the mind and perceptions of Damon's world and his writing. Razor taut throughout, readers will balance precariously on the edge of their seats waiting for that final shoe to fall.... Not for the faint of heart, this is a true test of the nature of man versus the nurturing of the soul. Highly recommended reading that is both chilling and haunting long after that final page." --Tome Tender Book BlogWhen a Little Miss pageant princess goes missing, all clues point to her father. But what if that's exactly what the perpetrator intended? With high IQ and GQ looks, aspiring screenwriter Damon's coming of age should be spectacular. Instead, he's traumatized over his dad's graphic demise and the dark family secret that caused it. Life becomes worth living again after Damon meets Savannah beauty Deidre, an aloof nursing student who dreams of acting. Damon vows to make her a star in his imagined storylines, but alas, she's already a paramour of Michael, a married millionaire who regales her with promises of the champagne life. All seems lost until a surprise conception transforms Damon's pursuit into the joys of raising his own boy. But when his wife and son disappear without a trace, Damon knows whom to blame. Spiraling into demonic inspiration, Damon creates a brilliant screenplay targeting Michael through his Little Miss daughter; one sure to win his family back through fame and fortune--until the recurring dark family secret threatens to turn his script real. Suddenly face to face with the actual little princess, will her innocent eyes snap him from his deathly delusion?
