Twenty years ago Carly Cooper went on an epic rollercoaster ride of a journey to find every single boyfriend she'd ever had, in order to discover if he was possibly 'Mr Right' that she had inadvertently overlooked.

I love this series about a Jewish mobster, told from his early beginnings on arrival in New York from Europe in the early 1900's and continuing to tell his story through each decade thereafter. And this, the fourth in the series is the best so far (in my very humble opinion)! Alex walks out of... Continue Reading →
I'm really thrilled to be a part of this blog tour for the 20th anniversary reprint of Shari Low's very first book, What If ...? I'm sure that many of us have looked back on our lives and wondered 'what if ...'. A different decision here; a change of plan there; perhaps some kinder words... Continue Reading →
Ooooh ... a small town that's more or less run by an influential family, who are all shiny and squeaky clean. That's lovely, picturesque Alma, not too far from New York City.
