Author(s) and Guest(s)
Lynn Schnurnberger
Tru Newman has an enviable life, a famous best friend, a wealthy husband, and well-behaved twin daughters. As the title of Lynn Schnurnberger's novel, The Best Laid Plans (Ballantine, $25.00) suggests, it can't last, as Tru is forced to go back to work and chooses an unlikely profession: she starts a call-girl service featuring women over 40. Schnurnberger is the author of Mine Are Spectacular! and The Botox Diaries. Lynn Schnurnberger's appearance is cancelled.
Sunny Chen
With Mona Lisa Eclipsing (Berkley Trade, $15.00), Sunny Chen returns with the seventh volume in her lush, erotically charged Mona Lisa series. From the time she was an orphan, Mona Lisa knew she was different. As a mixed-blood daughter of the Monère, she rules her domain in the Louisiana Bayou. But she’s about to become the hunted as her mind begins playing tricks, and no one is who they seem. Sunny, a former physician, is the wife of bestselling author, Da Chen.
Tasha Alexander
Tasha Alexander continues her eccentric-Victorian sleuth series, featuring Lady Emily, in A Crimson Warning (Minotaur, $24.99). Some very prominent people in London are waking up to find their doorsteps smeared with red paint, the precursor to the revelation of a dark secret – and worse – by someone who enjoys destroying lives. Alexander is the author of several historical novels, including Dangerous to Know and Elizabeth: The Golden Age.
Ellen Hopkins
Triangles (Atria, $26.00), Ellen Hopkins' first adult novel, tackles infidelity, midlife meltdowns, and betrayal between friends. When stay-at-home-mom Holly turns 40, she questions the choices she’s made and her lack of direction in life. She moves into a world of extramarital sex, in its many and varied forms. Will it bring the fulfillment she is searching for? Hopkins is the #1 New York Times bestselling, award-winning author of seven young adult novels, including Crank, Glas, and Fallout. Her latest young adult novel is Perfect (Margaret K. McElderry Books, $10.99): For four high-school seniors, their goals of perfection are just as different as the paths they take to get there.
