Getting engaged is one of the most special moments in a woman’s life. After years of envisioning how and where it would happen, the moment arrives. Overwhelmed by tears of joy as he places the ring on your finger, you fan your fingers and gaze down at the sparkly symbol of eternal happiness, contemplating a future filled with marital bliss.
Though the engagement part is wonderful, the best is yet to come: planning the fairytale wedding you’ve always dreamed of. This fun, yet stressful challenge requires perfect timing, plenty of patience and the ability to make lots and lots of decisions. There’s so much to accomplish and seemingly little time in which to do it.
As a reviewer and former publishing minion, I am inundated with books. It has literally been years since I’ve gone into a bookstore to see what’s new and exciting—mainly because my days of reading “for fun” are few and far between and, I’m actually an on-line shopping kind of girl.
Jake Cole returns to his childhood home of Montauk where his estranged father and great American painter Jacob Coleridge has fallen prey to the beginnings of Alzheimer's—evidenced by his father having set himself on fire, then crashing through a plate glass window.

Lynn Messina has gone where no woman has ever gone before—and hopefully never will: zombie sex. In her new book The Girls’ Guide to Dating Zombies Lynn has put a whole new twist on the zombie genre.
Hers are not the George Romero leg-draggers of yesteryear, but rather 21st century, human-brain-shunning, animal-craving, shoe-loving, datable undead—or in politically correct terms: “the reliving”. Yes, even zombies have civil rights in the future.
Being a wife, mother, and author of six books is no easy feat, and now seemed like a good time to find out just how Ms. Messina manages to do it all:
Chris F. Holm’s noir/urban fantasy mash-up novel Dead Harvest: The Collector Book One has just been released by Angry Robot Books. To say that this book is utterly fantastic would be an understatement.
