About

She moved on to Santa Monica, California where she worked in Real Estate Sales and eventually became Vice President of a large firm on the West Side.

As active members of a Southern California Yacht Club, Mary and her husband traveled up and down the California Coastline for years, and spent many days on Catalina Island. Upon moving to the Desert, Mary wrote a society column for a Palm Springs newspaper. It is from these experiences she forged her characters and the story of Deadly Pleasures.

Story Behind The Book

When I lived in Hollywood, years ago, I heard about four guys who hired a prostitute and set her up in an apartment, so they could share her sexual favors at their convenience. I thought I might write a murder mystery involving these men. Then I asked myself, why can't four women do the same thing? Aren't we sexually liberated these days? I realized that it would be much more interesting if the women hired a Boytoy and even more forbidden. That is when I got really excited about writing this book. I hope that you all like the results of this thought process in my book, Deadly Pleasures

Reviews

<p>&quot;Firmin writes more like a seasoned storyteller than a debut novelist,...<em>Deadly Pleasures</em> is recommended for readers who like to be both titillated and entertained. Ones certainly hopes that the author, an iUniverse Rising Star, has more naughty novels up her sleeves.&quot; Jill Allen, Clarion Reviews. (Five star review)<br /><br /> &quot;Firmin's first novel is a first-rate murder mystery...swiftly paced tale of lust, seduction, duplicity and horror, Firmin's debut easily keeps the pages turning.&quot; Kirkus Reviews<br /><br /> &quot;Sex and the City meets James Patterson in this tale of friendship that's peppered with enough thriller action to make Deadly Pleasures a solid guilty pleasure.&quot; Blueink Reviews</p>
