Imagine losing the love of your life to cancer at a time when your "golden years" are not too far away. Then imagine entering the dating scene after a long layoff -- heart-broken and desperate for romance. You come upon an attractive woman on an online dating site and she takes an interest in you. Things move quickly. Everything about her is new and exciting, yet familiar enough to feel you can let your guard down in her presence. You get married. Then things start to unravel.

We are not talking about a marriage that gets off to a rocky start. We are talking about a disaster.

After stealing your heart, she steals from your business and personal bank accounts. After filing for divorce you hire a private detective and only then do you learn the complete ugly and dangerous truth about the person you let into your life and with whom you shared your bed. You discover she was an addict, did prison time more than once, cheated on you, and that her lover planted an incendiary device in your home.

One man doesn’t have to imagine any of this. All of it happened to Bill Saubert. His debut thriller, The Girl With The Green Lipstick, is a dramatic rendition of the stunning chain of events.

“Though this is a novel, it is based on striking but real events,” says Bill, a multi-millionaire businessman who owns six UPS stores. “I am just glad to be alive to tell it.”
