Life isn't a fairytale - or chick lit. It's 2005 and Katy Sinclaire is two years out of college. She still lives with her old university roommate and still works at the same bookstore that she's been with since she was a teenager. She spends her days avoiding customers, making fun of the books in the store, and counting the minutes until she can clock out. It is an increasingly unsatisfying life, but it's also a life that she does not question. That is, until a chain of events forces Katy to confront the painful truth: she is going absolutely, positively, nowhere in life. She realizes that she needs to do something, and now. Only one problem: Katy has absolutely, positively, no idea what the first step should be. The other problem? From her harebrained misadventures, to her chisel-jawed boyfriend, to her best guy friend (who is not-so-secretly in love with her), Katy's life starts mimicking the very chick literature she mocks. Only life isn't as predictable as a storybook, a lesson Katy is forced to learn as she desperately tries to figure out her purpose in life - if such a purpose even exists.

"My Best Friend's Wedding with a rainbow twist! From the first page, readers will be sucked into Nicole Winger's world. Smart, funny, new-grad Nicole wrestles with territory all too familiar to twenty-somethings... An entertaining read for anyone who enjoys their black humor with a side of substance (and a little frill)." -Sara DiVello, bestselling author, Where in the OM Am I? One Woman's Journey from the Corporate World to the Yoga Mat -- It's the wedding of the century. Her big brother - the man who was a second father to her after their dad passed - is the groom. And Nicole is fighting just to keep her head above water. She's surrounded by an aloof bride-to-be, a psychotic mother of the bride, ridiculous bridesmaids, and a town that feels like a parody of Americana. Her own family is perfectly fine with everything - with the exception of her wise-cracking cousin Ella, whose antics only serve to get Nicole even further into trouble. The wedding stress is invading all aspects of her life, including her own relationship. Nicole only wants what's best for her brother - but what if that involves her brother leaving his fiancée at the altar? As the wedding day approaches and tensions continue to rise, Nicole is forced to figure out what love, loyalty, and honesty mean - before it's too late and she loses everyone she loves. -- "Abby is a fresh, relatable voice," - Carina Stikus, author of Grandma's How-To List for Getting Through Life "Understanding the sense of turmoil and upheaval this new adult is experiencing gives this coming of age story even more impact and universal appeal. Rosmarin's characters are well-defined and authentic, and her plot is marvelous. In The Event the Flower Girl Explodes is most highly recommended." - Jack Magnus, Reader's Favorite "In the Event the Flower Girl Explodes is an amazing coming of age story that truly captures the feelings that build when we don't know how to communicate about them. It culminates in lessons learned and renewed faith in oneself," -- Sarah Woodard, author of Adri's Big Dream "You will read chapter after chapter without noticing it," - Ruty B, critic, Reading, Dreaming

How do I break into the modeling world? Do I have what it takes to become a supermodel? Where did I leave my keys? I will answer none of these questions in my new book I'm Just Here for the Free Scrutiny. But I will provide you with a few laughs as I talk about my time in the fashion and commercial industries. From when I learned I don't have a sex-phone operator voice to when I fainted in the middle of a shoot. From when I bombed a movie audition to when I was upstaged by the modeling equivalent of a soccer mom. It's all here. So sit back, relax, and read a few stories that will remind you that modeling is about as glamorous as babysitting a bunch of toddlers. Toddlers on a sugar rush. By the way, your keys are underneath your jacket in the kitchen.
