When job cuts at Chloe Saddler’s London communications firm result in an unexpected transfer to Paris, she finds herself leaving behind her friends, family, and boyfriend Scott to start a new life in the City of Light. Getting to grips with La Vie Parisienne and keeping a long-distance relationship afloat is not made any easier by the culture shock. Committing the odd French faux pas and inadvertently indulging in a few too many flirtations with her very sexy (and very taken) boss, Jean-Luc, is just the start of it. Factor in her bridezilla of a sister’s wedding (the hottest event of the year in the Saddler family’s social calendar), an unexpected session of hot, naked yoga, a slightly psychotic stalker, and one incredible kiss at an infamous Montmartre nightspot, and Chloe can say au revoir to her old, safe London life and bonjour to the romance, splendour, and glamour of Paris. A delightful debut that harks back to the early days of Chick Lit when heroines were flawed, funny, and forever battling for love and happiness. With quirky characters and classic comedic charm, Cocktails at Le Carmen is pure fun from page one.

"Anna Karenina" is the tragedy of married aristocrat and socialite Anna Karenina and her affair with the affluent Count Vronsky. The story starts when she arrives in the midst of a family broken up by her brother's unbridled womanizing—something that prefigures her own later situation, though with less tolerance for her by others.

"What is it like to have one foot in either world but no where to call yours?" ~Lotus~ To her the question sounded like"what's it like to be gifted but feel like nothing special?" Noni is a lost girl rushing towards adult hood while trying to put together the pieces of her past. She has a long way to go before her questions are answered and the missing are found. But first she must over come her lack of belief in herself. This is my first published novel. I'm trying something different. My work is supernatural as well as urban and current. I feel like there's a certain demographic that isn't represented as thoughtfully as I know it can and one day will be. "Just because we're magical doesn't mean we are not real." ~ Jesse Williams~ There is so much mystasism and wonder right here in America hiding in plain sight. I would appreciate any feed back to make the" story come to life #NolaBaby. I will try to post often. This book contains sexual situations mild drug use and violence. ."Everything in this book is true but the lies." ~Cali Thank you for reading.. enjoy💚
