This Much Is True
(2013)(Falling)
(The first book in the Truth In Lies series)A novel by Katherine Owen
A ballerina who lies, a baseball player who believes her, where the truth changes everything. A love story like no other. This much is true.
Tally Landon will do just about anything to escape her tragic story if just for one night. A few lies well told can serve her well. Lies help her cope. So she has a little fun at the Stanford's best baseball player expense when she tells him she's old enough, has it covered, and her name is Holly.
Lincoln Presley can't believe his luck in meeting up with the beautiful girl he rescued from that fiery car crash months before on Valentine's Day. Maybe, it's best she doesn't remember him. Maybe not.
Fate brings them together, but fame and lies soon tear them apart. And the truth? The truth always wins out. A love story like no other. This much is true.
This Much Is True is the first book in the Truth In Lies Trilogy. If you enjoy love stories with strong, realistic, imperfect characters where life's never-ending twists and turns mess with our hero and heroine and the word, epic, most definitely applies, then you'll love this series. Tally and Linc's love story keeps you reading until the very end.
"I think Katherine Owen invented the word, saga. I know her work is the epitome of angst. She's the queen of angst, in fact." Amazon reader

Q & A with KATHERINE OWEN
Q: How would you describe THIS MUCH IS TRUE?
Owen: This is a modern-day Romeo and Juliet love story about a young ballerina engulfed in tragedy who meets the one guy who can save her. It is dark and full of angst ~ a love story like no other.
Q: How does This Much Is True differ from your other novels?
Owen: I've never written anything nearly as angst-filled and tragic. It's a dark romance. It's in the New Adult realm, but it isn't filled with scenes of the naive girl and the tattooed bad boy. It is quite the opposite. Tally is tough. Many don't like her. Tally doesn't like herself very much, and readers who get that, get my work. This is a love story that stays with readers.
Q: Tally's character is different than the other female protagonists you've written. What inspired her?
Owen: Tally's character first came to me when I was taking classes with The Writers Studio. At first, I wrote her as an artist. Edgy. Dark. She became more complex as time went on and evolved into a protege ballerina. As a writer, I wanted to explore what would happen between a protege ballerina and a rising star in baseball in their quest for fame and perfection who fell in love. Just how much personal sacrifice would each one be willing to make? Love is a complicated thing.
Q: Your work is sometimes described as dramatic and highly emotional. Is it over the top?
Owen: I write from a very personal, empathetic perspective and fully explore love and loss in all of my novels. I strive to understand how love works and how we survive loss. My fan base seems to appreciate that about me. Some readers don't believe in love, especially at first sight. I've experienced that, so I write it true. That's about all I can say. One person's drama, or lack thereof, (can we call that apathy?) is another's true north. Some people don't think Interstellar is really a love story. All I can say is, Oh...
