They once were college roommates...but
now they're in their early forties, reunited when one of them
is getting married for the second-time-around and wants the
others as her bridesmaids. None of them expects that planning
a simple wedding will forever change each of their lives:
JO - A beautiful townie, the "Most
Likely to Succeed," who did succeed until a man unraveled
everything she'd worked for, and unraveled her as well.
LILY - An airheaded, flighty romantic
who still believes love conquers all; a recent widow with more
money that even she can count, and time and boredom on her
hands.
SARAH - Half-Cherokee, half-Irish, a
fabulous jewelry designer with a huge creative spirit, a
giving, loving heart, and a touch of mystery that no one can
quite reach.
ELAINE - The reincarnation of a 50's
housewife, whose hearth and home are most important,
especially when she uses them to conceal her darkest secrets.
Enjoy the romp of ONCE UPON A BRIDE
as the former roommates – and their special friend named
ANDREW – learn that sometimes Second Chances really are the
best. Get ready to smile, laugh, and maybe even get out a
hankie or two.
Then...the fun continues with Jo, Lily, Sarah, Elaine...and,
of course, Andrew!...in
TWICE UPON A WEDDING, the second book in this series.
Don’t be fooled by the title.
As anyone who’s read any of
my books knows, I write more about reality than romance. Not
that romance isn’t reality, but...
Anyway, my editor and I were
talking one day about what my “next book” could encompass. We
thought about my audience, we thought about the “times.” We
agreed that women over 40 deserve to have fun.
Thus came the idea to center
story around four second-wedding planners. Surely second
weddings are saner than first weddings. Surely the people
involved are more sensible, more mature, less, well,
melodramatic – more realistic, less romantic.
Surely the bridesmaid’s dresses would be something the
bridesmaids could actually tolerate.
When we realized that most of those suppositions are wrong,
we decided this would make a great series. After all, does a
woman’s “place in time” make any difference when it comes to,
of all things, a wedding? And are second chances really and
less exciting, less nerve racking, less chaotic than the
first?
My editor has become the
expert at this. As for me, I just write it.
Stay tuned...
