Probably should have posted this earlier . . .

I officially submitted Paige to my editor on Friday, July 22. It's now out to the evaluation people.

What that means: my stomach will be in knots until I get solid news!

That's 3 of the 4 series titles turned in, with the 4th getting really close.

About the Series

1st Set: Olivia, Daisy, Paige, Athena.

2nd Set: Shannon's Hope, Ruby's Secret, Victoria's Promise, Ilana's Wish, and the reunion book: Tying the Knot.

The Newport Ladies Book Club series is unique in that each Newport book is written from the point of view of a different woman in the book club. The first 4 books cover the same time period and the same book club meetings. But only with reading all 4 books, will you learn the whole story of each of the women and her full character journey. The 2nd set of 4 books covers the next 4 book club meetings. Think of it as a parallel series, not as a forward-moving series.

The final and 9th book, Tying the Knot, is a thank-you to all of our readers who have asked "What happens next?"

Please note that the first 8 books can be read in any order, but Tying the Knot wraps up all of the stories in a single volume.

Meet ILANA

Ilana Goldstein leads an enviable life: a thriving career and a happy marriage to a handsome doctor. All that’s missing is a baby . . . Then, in an instant, her life falls apart. Now, beneath Ilana’s once flawless exterior hides a dark secret. Following a rapid succession of crushing trials, Ilana turns to prescription medications to take the edge off her agony—both the ache of her body and the anguish of her soul. But when her desperation to dull the pain leads to the downward spiral of addiction, her friends in the Newport Ladies Book Club must do whatever it takes to save one of their own.

Meet VICTORIA

A luxurious mansion. Thirty stunning bachelorettes. One very eligible bachelor. Behind the scenes, Tori Winters is set to pull the romantic strings as assistant director of Vows. But Christopher Caine, a consummate Southern gentleman and the star of Vows, seems almost too good to be true—and soon, even Tori finds herself falling under his spell. With the support of her friends in the Newport Ladies Book Club, Tori must make a life-altering decision: is she willing to jeopardize all she’s worked for in order to embrace her own fairy-tale ending?

Meet RUBY

At age sixty-two, life is finally beginning for newly widowed Ruby Crenshaw. After long years spent in the role of loyal wife to her charming but unfaithful husband, she’s ready to live the life she’s always dreamed of. Her resolve is firm: she’ll never make the mistake of giving her heart to another man. When Ruby jets off on a much-needed Greece adventure with her friends from the Senior Center, she isn’t prepared to meet Gabriel—the group’s tour guide—a native Greek and a true gentleman. But no matter their growing attraction, Ruby is not about to fall for charming again!

Meet SHANNON

Meet ILANA

When Ilana needs a hysterectomy, her dream of having children is shattered for good. To add to the insult, Ilana is laid off from her job due to an injury on the heels of the hysterectomy surgery, and she can't seem to find any pain relief. Medication and physical therapy are never enough, which turns into a frightening prescription drug addiction. Through friendship and feeling support from the book club ladies as she goes through recovery, Ilana becomes stronger, and happier, than she ever thought possible.

Meet VICTORIA

Victoria’s job is to make sure things run smoothly with the cast and crew on the reality wedding show, Vows, and that prime time television ratings soar. Oh yeah, and she needs to make sure that the surprise wedding that happens at the end of the show between the bachelor and his chosen lady love goes off without a hitch. The only problem is, the longer Tori works on the show, the more she falls in love with Christopher—the bachelor himself. Through her friendships made with the ladies in book club, Tori discovers what risks she is willing to take.
