THE SECRET LIVES OF A GHOSTWRITER
Hardcover | Fiction | Upcoming

"In The Secret Lives of a Ghostwriter, Julia is an aspiring novelist who pays her bills by working in the mysterious underbelly of the publishing world as a ghostwriter in San Francisco while struggling with her newlywed marriage without losing her sanity or her sense of humor. Like a magician who finally divulges her trick mirrors and phony swords, Julia reveals the juicy secrets of the ghostwriting business and the thrill of living multiple lives— all while learning valuable secrets of her own for the ultimate “housewife’s revenge’ against her sweet, but short-tempered husband, Leo."  COMING SOON.

INSIDE THE CLOUDS
Hardcover | Fiction | Pub. Date TBA

"Inside the Clouds is a haunting tale of escape and survival against the most impossible odds.
Swan uniquely weaves together two stories, side by side, set on opposite sides of the earth: One in Half Moon Bay, California and the other in Rwanda, Africa during the horrific genocide of 1994. The effect is gripping as the two stories become one by the end. Swan's emotional sensitivity for her characters leaves a lasting impression."  COMING SOON.
