Just a reminder that award winning author Marianne Mancusi will be here with us this coming week. We have quite a few things planned, including a giveaway!
Marianne released News Blues, a contemporary romance, in March. Read an excerpt here. Order it here.
TUNE IN
All 27-year old Maddy Madison wants is a cute guy, a designer handbag and to work at Newsline. What she has is a dead-end job at News 9 San Diego, a psycho boss and a counterfeit Kate Spade. One with a badly glued on label. Oh, and no guy.
TURN ON
Just when Maddy’s sure her days of producing sensationalistic puff pieces will never end (“Perilous Pets!” “Deadly Dishwashers!” “Clay that Kills!”) she’s offered a promotion. From now on she’ll work as an investigative producer—and if that isn’t good enough news for one day, she’s also partnered with the station’s newest photographer: sexy, motorcycle-riding bad boy and former moviemaker Jamie Hayes. But every silver cloud has a stormy lining. Her new job’s with News 9’s narcissistic anchor, Jamie’s getting married (not to her), and reporting the truth is about as easy as watching your divorced parents get remarried (not to each other).
TAKE OFF
So, how does Maddy get to produce real news, bag her boss and win her man?
Stay tuned. It’s the story of a lifetime.
She also released a short story in the Anthology These Boots Were Made for Stomping along with Julie Kenner and Jade Lee. Order it here.
SOMETIMES IT’S ALL ABOUT THE SHOES
Whether facing the forces of evil or simply battling a bad hair day, fantastic footwear is key.
Yes, there are the right shoes for the right situation, and not every moment calls for Manolos. Sometimes a woman’s gotta be fierce as well as feminine, fiery as well as fragile. And when the legwork required is a roundhouse, when a girl’s mantra has to become “I am woman, hear me roar,” those are the times it’s good to know there’s magic in the world…because in super-powered pumps, the shrinking-est Violet or the nervous-est Nellie can do anything. Every step in magic shoes is sure to be a big one.
After a single trip to Hiheelia.com, our heroines are safe. Their hearts are not.
And in September, she her newest book from Dorchester’s Shomi line, Razor Girl, will be released. Read an excerpt here. Pre-order it here.
THE WORLD HAS ENDED, MOLLY.
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO NOW?
Molly Anderson is not your average twenty-one-year-old. It’s been six years since she and her family escaped into a bunker, led by her conspiracy theorist father and his foreknowledge of a plot to bring about the apocalypse. But her father’s precautions didn’t stop there. Molly is now built to survive.
Yes, Ian Anderson’s favorite book gave him ideas on how to “improve” his daughter. Molly is faster, stronger, and her ocular implants and razor-tipped nails set her apart. Apart, when—venturing alone out of the bunker and into a plague ravaged, monster-ridden wilderness—what Molly needs most is togetherness. Chase Griffin, a friend from her past, is her best bet. But while he and others have miraculously survived, the kind boy has become a tormented man. Together, these remnants of humanity must struggle toward trusting each other and journey to the one place Molly’s father believed all civilization would be reborn: a magic kingdom, where everyone knows it’s a small world after all.
Don’t forget to check back tomorrow and all next week to see what Marianne has in store for us.
I can’t wait to read News Blues! I think it’s included in the box of books I’m getting from my buddy, although I can’t remember.. in any case, I’m really looking forward to reading it and the interview too! 🙂
These books look interesting – can’t wait to read them.
