"One Last Lie – A Novel

Where it came from and where it’s going…



“Can I have your sperm, please?”

Three years ago this question came out of my best friend’s mouth – a woman I’d known for many years and had never asked for anything more than a sip of my Caramel Machiatto. She talked about her motherly instincts and the ticking of her “biological clock”. It seemed she’d given it much thought, talked with many people and was now ready to proceed. Apparently, I was the last to know.

I was stunned and speechless, although quite flattered. I grabbed her hand and asked for a few days to think about it.

Coincidentally, I was having lunch with my lawyer the next day and I brought up my friend’s question – which was now my new problem.

She dropped her fork. “Absolutely not!” she snapped.

“Why not?” I snapped back.

“The law is too unclear. Even if she says that she doesn’t want money or support, she might change her mind. What if she’s really a nut and her pregnancy hormones put her over the edge? Seriously, what if she’s unstable?”

“She’s not,” I said adamantly.

“But what if she is?” she insisted.

“She’s not,” I insisted back.

“But what if…”

“She’s not.”

And that was the beginning of One Last Lie.

In the end, I didn’t give my friend the sperm she’d asked for. I decided our friendship was too important to jeopardize. After I told her I couldn’t help her out, she never spoke to me again, so I guess I made the right decision.

On the positive side, the experience was the start of my best book so far – One Last Lie – a novel that has made people mad, sad, happy and most importantly, it has made them think."


A Preview:

One Last Lie by Rob Kaufman
Virtual Book Tour September 4 - September 29, 2012

Philip and Jonathan have had the perfect life together for ten years - fulfilling every dream except that of having a child. Along comes Angela, Philip's college friend who apparently conquered her old demons of obesity and manic-depression. After reacquainting and becoming good friends, the three decide to have a child together through artificial insemination of Jonathan's sperm. From that point, Philip and Jonathan's idyllic life begins to unravel. Angela's mask of deceit gradually slips as her pregnancy awakens psychological and physical problems, leaving Philip and Jonathan regretting ever allowing her into their lives. Told from an elderly Jonathan's hospital bed, Angela's tangled web unwinds into heartbreak, deception, legal battles, and finally murder - with a surprise ending no one could have ever imagined.

This book can be purchased at Amazon, Barnes & Noble and other fine bookstores.
