In the context of literary work, Jennifer Worth started writing later on in her life. She started working as a nurse in 1950 and left nursing in 1973, in a bid to follow her musical ambitions. For instance, when she was freshly out of school, then aged fifteen, she studied shorthand writing and typing these stood her in good stead at a secretarial job which she held in a grammar school, in the run-up to studying nursing. Jennifer Worth had other occupations, especially in her formative years. Jennifer Worth, who died of esophageal cancer in May 2011, at the age of 75, also doubled up as a musician and at one time served as a piano teacher.

I’m sort of surprised that I haven’t heard of her previous to this point, but hey, you can’t catch them all. She’s also published other literatures that seem very much in the vein of Chiclit. Besides The Blue Bloods series, she also has a series entitled Au Pairs and another called The Ashleys. What I discovered was that she has been astonishingly productive, publishing dozens and dozens of books over the last decades. In this review (in order of the Blue Bloods Series): Blue Bloods (2007) Masquerade (2008) Revelations (2009) The Van Alen legacy (2009) Misguided Angel (2010) Lost in Time (2011)Ĭompanion Books: Keys to the Repository (2010) and Bloody Valentine (2010).Īfter finishing off The Witches of East End, I did a little research on De La Cruz’s longer publication history. Asian American Writers' Spotlight: Melissa de la Cruz (Blue Bloods Series)Ī Review of Melissa De La Cruz’s Blue Bloods Series (all by Hyperion) He pioneered pre-digital techniques of mass surveillance via an illicit mail-opening program called LINGUAL. His doctrine of counterintelligence was widely influential, not only in the CIA but in the intelligence services of all the English-speaking countries. In real life, Jim Angleton was a formidable intellectual and canny bureaucrat who helped shape the ethos of the Central Intelligence Agency we have today. In Robert De Niro’s cinematic telling of the tale, The Good Shepherd, the Angletonian character was a promising product of the system who loses his way in the moral labyrinth of secret intelligence operations. He was the model for Harlot in Harlot’s Ghost, Norman Mailer’s epic of the CIA, a brooding Cold War spirit hovering over a story of corrupted idealism. In researching and writing a biography of Angleton, I constantly confront a conundrum: Was the man utterly brilliant? Or completely nuts?Īngleton is one of America’s archetypal spies. By the early 1960s, Angleton was convinced the KGB had managed to insert a penetration agent high in the ranks of the CIA. I went there to investigate Angleton’s famous mole hunt, one of the least flattering episodes of his eventful career. Last summer I paid a visit to Georgetown University’s Lauinger Library as part of my research on legendary CIA counterspy James Jesus Angleton. |
