“I’m delighted to share Mackenzie’s Secret with my readers,” says Williams. “My first novel Anna’s Secret Legacy was a labor of love, and now to be able to continue the story is deeply satisfying to me. I am currently in talk with several studios and hope to translate these stories from the written page to the television screen very soon.”

Set in Europe in 1969, “Mackenzie’s Secret” begins with the introduction of Anna’s daughter, 20-year-old Mackenzie Conyers. Sent to an all-girls boarding school, feeling abandoned, and leaving the boyfriend she loved behind, Mackenzie confronted her new world with little trust. Her home became a French chateau fabled to have been a haven for the French Resistance. The Paris she knew was conflicted by its past and by its future.

Williams comments, “The basic concept for Mackenzie’s Secret is an international espionage thriller for the Blacklist market, which also brings in strong elements reminiscent of Covert Affairs mixed with Sex and the City and The Da Vinci Code.  At the heart of the story is Mackenzie ‘Mac’ Conyers, whose story unfolds in a girls’ boarding school in the Paris of 1969.  The story arcs will bring us closer to the unraveling of the mystery.”

Larry Namer, founder of E! and Metan Global Entertainment Group Film Fund I, adds “I immediately saw the story’s potential to be adapted for  the screen, as a mini-series or a theatrical feature. War, espionage, intrigue, groundbreaking medical discoveries, all make for an exciting visual journey for audiences around the world.”

“Mackenzie’s Secret” is the follow-up to “Anna’s Secret Legacy,” set in the 1940s, World War II era, about the love affair between an American pilot and a brilliant female research scientist and her remarkable discovery that could revolutionize medicine.

Both titles are now available on Amazon, Kindle, Barnes & Noble and Archway Publishing.
