Blog/BooksFringe Girl in Love (2007)
Part Two of the Fringe Girl series for NAL. Dora battles some personal demons, as well as a real life gorgeous blonde substitute teacher who's got her eyes on Noel. Along the way, Dora makes out with Liza's college brother, runs away to Bermuda, plays a part in a couple of break ups and lends a hand at a couple fixups. Everyone in Dora's life falls in and/or out of love in this romantic, sexy, heart thumper. I Take This Man (2007)
My sixth book for Avon, and possibly my last chick lit novel. The story starts on Penny's wedding day. Her groom, Bram, sends her note, saying he can't go through with it. Penny's mom, Esther, in her maternal rage, clobbers Bram with a champagne bottle and kidnaps him. She locks in him the attic at her mansion in Short Hares, New Jersey, where she hides him from Penny, Bram's sexy father, Keith. Romance, hyjinx, road trips and a few trips to the famous Short Hares Mall ensue. Fringe Girl: The Revolution Starts Now (2006)
Well, this is the book I'd dreamed about writing since I was 16 myself. Adora Benet is on the fringe of the social world at her high school in posh Brooklyn Heights. She's not among the top tier Ruling Class. Nor is she among the bottom rung Teeming Masses. She's a Fringe Dweller, hanging on by a thread to her precarious status. After enduring one last humiliation at the hands of Ruling Classer Sondra Fortune (who loves to keep Fringe Dwellers in their place), Adora decided to stage a bloodless revolution to overthrow the power elite and re-write Brownstone social history. Power to the people! She topples the Ruling Class! Along the way, she enjoys the spoils of victory and makes out with a hot marathon runner and a sexy techno-prankster. But, as Dora soon finds out, it's one thing to lead a revolution, and another to sit in the lofty seat of power. Hex and the Single Girl (2006)
Emma runs a matchmaking company called The Good Witch, refering to herself and her unusual skill. She is the world's only documented telegraphopathist, meaning, she can put pictures into people's heads by touching them. Her clients, well-to-do woman, give her sexy photos to implant into the men they desire. Emma stalks them around New York, putting dirty images into their heads. The men think that if they're thinking about a woman in her underwear all the time, they must be in love. It all goes wrong for Emma when she sets out, on behalf of a new client, to work on Liam Dearborn, artist/software millionaire/most eligible bachelor in town, who has mental powers of his own, and sends Emma's super senses into overdrive. Can she play with his mind while craving his body? The Girlfriend Curse (2005)
Peg Silver is the hero (hate heroine, as if a character's heroism is mitigated by her gender). She's been dumped, mistreated, by seven men in her serial monogamy and realizes that they've all married the next woman they slept with. She's got the Curse of the Last Girlfriend hanging over her head, and she moves from NYC to the town of Manshire, Vermont, to shed it. Winds up joining adult emotional education program/retreat called Inward Bound (I make lots of double-entrendre dirty jokes about the name), to find out where she'd gone wrong in her romantic past. Meets hotties, fools around, shovels shit, hikes, bikes, does country things, fish-out-of-water hilarity. The Not-So-Perfect Man (2004)
Interwoven lives. One review described the book as such. I liked that. It was a trick to get all the plot lines to depend and develop based on what was happening in each sister's life at the moment. Also, the book spans a year. A goodly time frame for romantic adventures to unfold. The Accidental Virgin (2003)
My best-seller to date. Re: the movie, Heather Graham has renewed the option for the third year in a row. From what reports dribble in, she and her producers are trying to get some money together. If anyone has several million to spare and would like to spend it on a cool movie, please let me know ASAP. Smart Vs. Pretty (2000)
A hybrid, or a bridge novel, you could call it. It'd written four mystery novels before trying Smart vs. Pretty. This was before the household use of the phrase "chick-lit," mind you. Anyway, I couldn't quite let go of having a murder in my story. Some readers were confused by that plot development, expecting a novel about the relationship between two sisters (one smart, one pretty). And there's plenty of that. And plenty of romance, too. |
