Lion Song: a Literary Memoir / Book 1 of 3 Uncommon Partnerships Series
by Judy Burr (Author)
A literary memoir exploring the federal judicial system and the inner trappings of corporate espionage. Today, the attempt to wield power and gain control threatens the very fabric of our existence. This work explores our divisiveness and carries an inspirational message.
On December 7th, Judy was arrested and brought up on charges of wire fraud. The date is indelibly etched into her mind, and from that day forward, she wages a war for her freedom. She is innocent and intends to prove it. The Feds, however, need her. They are building a case against her former bosses, and her expertise is required. The battle is epic, and to cope, Judy begins to journal.
Those words eventually spawn Uncommon Partnerships, an action-packed trilogy documenting her journey. She meets a young, dynamic businessman, and as their relationship grows, she formulates a plan. He needs money, and she needs a job. She offers to invest, but only if he is willing to hire her as the company accountant. He agrees, and Judy’s hope for a brighter future is secured.
Eventually, she becomes a witness for the prosecution, but her new career poses many challenges. When her friend deviates from the business plan, she is thrown into the world of corporate espionage. Again, she must choose. Does she remain true to herself, or surrender to her circumstances? It is an age-old story, but the ending is full of twists and turns. Lion Song is an impactful memoir and will leave the reader wanting for more.
The second installment, Five Golden Rings, is soon to be released.
Review
"Burr's engrossing debut installment in the Uncommon Partnership series explores love, passion, sexual fantasy, trust and betrayal, and business and religious intrigue. Burr successfully evokes her two protagonists' determination, strong drive, and fiery spirit along with their questionable moral precariousness, and the seemingly impossible romantic relationship between the two, with its roots in deep friendship, is portrayed with perception and clarity. Readers should be prepared for plenty of highly erotic, hot sex scenes. Readers will be eager to see the next installment in the series." - Received 4 out of 4 stars from Books Coffee's review, found on Goodreads.
From the Author
After my arrest, I agreed to become a witness for the prosecution, but surrendering to those circumstances was far easier than submitting to the man determined to save my soul.

About the Author
Judy Burr is originally from Colorado, where she raised a family and started an accounting business. She now resides in Las Vegas, NV, and continues her career in the field of finance. She is the owner/operator of Account On Me, Inc., but her love of "numbers" has been replaced by a love for writing.
After Judy's arrest on Pearl Harbor Day, she agreed to become a witness for the prosecution, but surrendering to those circumstances was far easier than submitting to the man determined to save her soul. In order to cope, she began journaling, and those words ultimately spawned a steamy romance trilogy.
In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting quarantine became a catalyst to complete. With the gift of time, she dusted off her word processor and brought her debut novel back to life. LION SONG is the first installation of a planned trilogy. The second book, FIVE GOLDEN RINGS, is in the editing stages, and the conclusion is waiting in the wings.
