Adelle Laudan: Dani

One of my favorite authors is Adelle Laudan. If you haven't read her work, you should. Everything I've sampled so far has been super good, and she has a new book out that sounds just as good as the others. I asked Adelle to talk to us about her new book, and here's what she shared with me.

Women of Strength Series by Adelle Laudan

 

This series is a collection of stories about real women and the struggles they overcome. The latest release is Dani’s story—a single mom who lives in a small town and loses her job after 12yrs. She needs to find a new job, fast!

 

As with so many of us, we live paycheck to paycheck. Dani is no different. She is the sole supporter of a 16yr old daughter and quickly learns of the prejudice against women with tattoos as she searches for a job.

 

This story tells of the options she is presented with, and the choices she makes. I think every mother out there will be able to relate to Dani on some level.

 

Here is the blurb:

The paper mill where Dani has worked for the past twelve years is closing. A single mother of a sixteen-year old, she quickly learns her tattoos aren't helping her land a decent job. Should she stand up for her choice to have full sleeve tattoos, and settle for a job at Teasers, the local stripper bar? Maybe she should hide her beautiful artwork and try for a steady job in one of the design houses in the city?
Will she listen to Ryan and accept his help, knowing he wants to take their special friendship to another level. Is she willing to take the risk of losing him and cross that proverbial line?

Thanks Elaine for having me. I’d like to giveaway a free ecopy of Dani. Elaine has been kind enough to agree to draw one winner tomorrow from all who comment.

Fashionista Friday

Have you noticed how many celebrities are wearing white lace this year?  White is always classic, chic, and cool, and when you add lace… well, the look is to die for.  Here are some of my favorites.

You can buy this Laundry by Shelli Segal Lace Sheath Dress at Nordstrom.  $295.00

I love the different patterns of lace on this Nanette Lepore Cap Sleeve Lace Dress.  Buy it at Nordstrom for $328.

I like this Coast Lace Dress with Contrast Belt because it isn't as short as the others.  I also like the high waist.  Buy it at ASOS for $245.97.



I like the length of this dress too, and the price is very nice.  Only $59.99 at Overstock.

This dress is from Target and is priced right at $52.49.  The picture really doesn't do the dress justice.  If you're serious about a white lace dress look at it on the Target website. 

Till next Friday, Fashionists.  Happy Shopping!
