Award-winning author, Lourdes Duque Baron, officially released her second book, "I Called Myself Cassandra," on June 14, 2014 in a limited-edition hardcover format. The book will be released worldwide on Amazon and Barnes and Noble, as well as other websites, in early Spring 2015 through Friesen Publishing. The book is a real life story of scandal, through the eyes of Baron's alter ego Cassandra, and follows the falling in and out of love of a young woman who tells a seductive story about her encounters and affairs in her quest to mend her broken heart.

As an accomplished author of two books, Baron is refreshingly candid about the realities and dark past of her life. In the book, Baron's alter ego, Cassandra, details the several torrid affairs she sought out with younger men. The book chronicles a dark chapter of Baron's life when she was estranged from her husband, who was cheating on her. The stories in the book are true from her life; she lived every page of the book. Baron explains, "It's a memory of my reality."

Baron talks about the pain she felt as a result of her husband's infidelities. "There were times when the pain was unbearable. Usually, those were the times when I foolishly tried to mask this pain with the temporary physical bliss and false validation I received from men."

Sofia Landon of Splash Magazines described the book; " 'I Called Myself Cassandra' puts '50 Shades of Grey' to shame in reciting the affairs in detail. However, it's respectful in turning those events toward female empowerment and marital renewal."

When Baron sits back to survey her experiences from this chapter in her life, the emotion that rises is one of gratitude. "I Called Myself Cassandra" details the wrong turns and heartaches that have allowed her to recognize the gifts in her life and the message of a new sunrise.

Baron's other projects include an upcoming feature film in development; an adaptation of her book "Scripted In Heaven." Visit the Scripted In Heaven Film Official Web Site.
