NEW!

New!

Now available in bookstores nationwide:
ROAR LIKE A GIRL
We first met the highly-spirited, ever-optimistic, journal-writing, book-loving, candy-eating, community-rent-paying Willa Havisham in the best-selling novel, The Wedding Planner's Daughter, (Simon & Schuster, 2004), set in the fictional small town of Bramble, Cape Cod, MA, by the ocean, with a cast of unforgettable characters we've grown to know and love. Loyal fans enjoyed following Willa's life story through 5 more "Willa books" over the past decade. Now, after tragedy upends her perfectly happy world, Willa is forced to leave her beloved Bramble and start fresh in an old river city. "Welcome to Troy, NY, Willa, the birthplace of Uncle Sam." We know, we know... "a river's not an ocean".... but keep an open mind and heart, Willa... there's a lot to love in Troy...and just wait until you meet your new neighbor, Rob...so nice and handsome...really hot:):) :)
