First Time Authors of "Hiding in Sunshine" Shocked to Find That Real-Life Cyberterrorism Headlines So Closely Mimic Their Storyline

First-time authors of compelling new cyber thriller shocked that recent news headlines mimic their original story.

Boston, MA (I-Newswire) March 13, 2013 - Michelle Obama and Joe Biden's Social Security numbers, dates of birth and other important information have been reportedly stolen. A Chinese Army Unit has been suspected to have attacked and penetrated The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and The Washington Post's internal networks; and Twitter, Facebook, Apple and Google have all recently admitted to security breaches.

First-time authors John & Caitlin Stuart, the father/daughter co-authors of Hiding in Sunshine, a compelling new novel of suspense and treachery in the murky world of cyber terrorism and identity theft, did a virtual double take as headline after headline so closely parallels their fictional book. The engaging novel with its timely plot follows an American family on the run for 11 years, with complicated relationships and the topical nature of the technological threat they face lending urgency to the story.


Can calls from Hollywood agents be far behind?

Blueink Review
"Authors John Stuart and Caitlin Stuart subtly weave the subject of American social mobility, both upward and downward, throughout the novel, giving the story great emotional resonance. The Brinkleys' loving but complicated relationships with each other are movingly and realistically rendered, and the topical nature of the technological threat they face lends urgency to the story. This is a compelling debut, and the well-drawn character of the teenage daughter could give it crossover appeal to the young adult market."
