A Novel Perfect for the Beach Viewer Discretion Advised by Cindy Roesel


Cindy’s book was featured in the program at Stonecrest Library.  She sent two copies and one found a home during the event and the other is for a lucky follower in this giveaway.   Thank you Cindy for providing these copies:

Synopsis: 

Charley Thomas is a news director that has recently received some bad news because she was fired from her job in LA.  What will she do next?   Her best friend Rori in Miami mentions a job possibility to Charley, and reminds her of a contact she had met before.  Her contact Jonathon Lefton the velvet axe who runs WCAR a local station in Miami.  He is known for putting talent on the air and getting great ratings.  Charley decides to work for him and so let the fun begin.  Will Charley survive the excitement that is Miami? Will she win over her new staff?

My Thoughts:

I loved this novel!  This novel is definitely worth reading.   A great debut for Cindy Roesel!  I can’t wait to read her next one.   I can only imagine that her next novel will be even better!

What particularly stood out to me is the plot.  I felt the story line is very appropriate considering the economic situation in the country.     Story begins with Charley looking for work.  The setting a news room is different than in many other novels that I have read.  I felt the conflicts between characters are written well.  I loved how the author incorporated news stories into the plot and how it related to Charley’s job as a News Director.

Ratings:

4.5/5

Have you ever wondered how Writer’s Corner came to be?                                        A blogger friend recently asked why did you start your blog?   I once said that I would never blog or write.   I was in a job search at the time and it was not going anywhere.   So I decided that I would work on my writing.   I found a nonpaying writing position with chicklitclub.com .   I started Writer’s Corner initially to practice what I wrote for that site.      The next part of the journey was meeting some great ladies that some of you know well Samantha Janning at Chick Lit Plus , Melissa Amster and Amy Bromberg from ChickLit Central , Laura Kay from A Novel Review , Pia from So Many Books So LittleTime , and last but not least Liz and Lisa fro...

The Importance of Complex Characters By Jacqueline Friedland

Photo by Rebecca Weiss A couple of years ago, there was a debate in the literary world about “likeable” characters.   The question, essentially, boiled down to this: must a character be unpleasant, whether angry or aggressive, selfish, or all gloom-and-doom in order to be taken seriously as a literary character?   When the debate arose, the focus was primarily on female characters— if a female protagonist has too many redeemable qualities as a person, does this detract from her substance as a character in a story?   This query nagged at me and took on a new shape during my writing Trouble the Water , as I watched my two main protagonists undergo journeys of personal growth that left them both decidedly more pleasant than the people they were when the story began.   The question I needed to answer was whether depth and meaning are negated by personal recoveries? My own take, as a reader, is that if I am going to spend hours reading a novel, hanging out with cha...
