Delayed Confession
I’m fresh out of college, have landed my first job at a posh TV station, and I’m ready to take on the world. Only it turns out my new boss is a psycho.Add to the mix, the actor Tom Cruise. It’s March 1990 and he’s in Florence, South Carolina filming a little racing movie called Days of Thunder. He’s also just received his first Oscar nomination for playing the starring role of Ron Kovic in Born on the 4th of July.
The TV station is sending its satellite truck to Florence so NBC’s Today Show can interview Tom Cruise remotely about the honor.
That’s when my psycho boss gets the most bizarre idea ever and launches a devious plot against Tom Cruise.
I’m not part of it, but my gut tells me I have to stop it… somehow. My biggest problem is how do I get there? How do I gain access to the closed interview? I don’t know anything about bypassing security for someone at that level of celebrity.
And just supposing for a millisecond that I do get inside, how am I going to stop the plot? Beat down my colleagues who are in on it? Yeah, right. Why couldn’t Cruise have filmed his movie somewhere else? Dammit!
And if I do succeed, it can cost me everything. I can kiss my budding journalism career good-bye. What TV station is going to hire me if they find out that I intentionally sabotaged the news director’s crazy plans?
After decades of secrecy, the plot against Tom Cruise is brought to light in this novel, Delayed Confession, and it’s all true. Only the names have been changed to protect the innocent and the truly stupid.

About the author
P.S. Meraux
15 books76 followersP.S. Meraux writes books about paranormal chaos, sassy heroines, and creatures who are just a little unhinged (in the best way). She's an Indie and Amazon bestselling author—which sounds fancy until you realize it just means she drinks too much coffee and argues with fictional people for a living. Her stories mix sci-fi, mystery, romance, and a generous helping of “wait, did that just happen?”
P.S. has a thing for supernatural oddballs, morally gray weirdos, and badass women who save themselves (and occasionally punch vampires in the face). Her idea of worldbuilding is "let's break everything and see what grows back."
Originally from South Carolina, she now lives in Atlanta, Georgia, where her backyard is suspiciously full of fireflies and dubiously English for someone not living in a BBC period drama. There may or may not be faeries. There is definitely sarcasm.
