Come Fly With Me!

July28-2015
The new paperback edition of Chanel is out today!  And it’s being featured at the Hudson News Store in all your favorite airports!  Perfect for vacation reading!

Both the photo of my mother, Georgann Rea and the one of me and my sister Robin were taken by my late step-father, Oliver Rea.  The new edition also includes the first chapter of the sequel, Heart of Glass due out in March 2016!
Happy Summer!  Happy Reading!

Congratulations Emma Roberts!

A BIG SHOUT-OUT to my reader and Twitter buddy, Emma Roberts!
Her terrifically fun, subversive family comedy opened yesterday with sneaks Tuesday night and it is going to blow the roof off the box office this weekend.  Everyone should go see it!  Last laugh of the summer!  

And don’t forget to take your Kindle or iPad so you can read Chanel Bonfire while you’re waiting for the film to start.  It was on Emma’s Summer Reading list (http://chanelbonfire.blogspot.com/2013/06/emma-roberts-summer-reading-list.html) shouldn’t it be on yours?
