Spoof

Spoof is the story of the lives of two men who are identical twins. Terry Lickliter and his brother Tom were minor characters in Illusive Innocence, my first novel. In Spoof both men are in their late forty’s. Terry worked in Silicon Valley until the mid-nineties and made a fortune when his company sold out to a high tech giant. He moved to Grand Haven Michigan and built two large houses on Lake Michigan, a Victorian with an attached lighthouse and a Tudor. Tom Lickliter resided in Florida and worked as an Electrician and moved back to Michigan to join his brother. The two brothers had been living twenty-eight hundred miles apart.

Terry and his wife Kristine (a true San Franciscan) are rich and Tom and his wife Monique (a southern belle born in Savannah, Georgia) are middle class citizens. The gift of a quarter-million dollar Tudor on lake Michigan is a lot for Tom and his wife Monique to accept. Tom is sterile but Terry fathers his children. Together the men open a small business but work to create a very successful international business. Sudden wealth changes their lives. From Sailing Lake Michigan and the Pacific to the power of a corporate boardroom lives become entrapped into secrets and hysteria.

Spoof is an adventurous story of couples, friends and business associates but also describes the secretive loving relationships of a charismatic man.
