“A July Bride” Book Review...

Jul 27, 2015 by

Welcome back to Rachel’s Back Talk! I’m so glad you could join me again. Today I am reviewing Beth Wiseman’s book, A July Bride.   As is my custom, if I could ask Beth one question about A July Bride it would be — “Was it difficult to come up with a ‘good’ reason for Brandon to walk out on Alyssa?” And if you want to know why I asked that question, I guess you’ll just have to read the book to find out!   And without further ado, onto Rachel’s Back Talk!                                                                      From the Back Cover: It was the...

Welcome back to Rachel’s Back Talk! I’m so glad you could join me again.

Jen Turano ~ Author Interview

Jul 17, 2015 by

Welcome back to Rachel’s Back Talk! Another Friday interview! Today’s interview is with Jen Turano. This past Monday, I had the opportunity to review her book In Good Company.  So without further ado, on to Rachel’s Back Talk – Special Edition!  Interview: RR: Hi Jen! Thank you so much for joining me here today! When did you know that you wanted to be a writer? JT: Quite honestly, it just sort of snuck up on me. I’d left my career in fashion when I had my son, and was busy doing the whole mom thing – you know, play dates and then PTO when he got into elementary school.

Now I know it isn’t June, but here is A June Bride only 6 days into July!   As is my custom, if I could ask Marybeth one question about A June Bride, it would be — “What made you want to write about ‘home life’ of celebrities?” And if you want to know why I asked that question, I guess you’ll just have to read the book to find out!   And without further ado, onto Rachel’s Back Talk!                                                            ...
