Spin by Catherine McKenzie
" Catherine McKenzie’s debut novel Spin is an engaging read that is humorous and at times, heartbreakingly poignant. It is an engrossing and substantive novel you don’t want to miss. To read my review in its entirety, please visit http://www.bookreviewsandmorebykathy.com... "

" This book + me = love. It was the perfect blend of trashy and meaningful, a lovely light read that still has powerful messages to share. And for some reason (utterly unrelated to Mesmerized I'm sure) I was inordinately pleased with the beautiful gram... "

Marina Thanks for the recommendation of DOMESTIC VIOLETS, Catherine! I thought I could resist, but then I started reading it... Alas, I've got it on the Kindle now. Very funny male-chick lit. Love it so far! (I love Tom Perrotta and suburban tales, so this story is a weakness for me.)

Ed Rambeau Thanks for accepting my friend request, Catherine. You seem like an interesting person, and accomplished author as well, so feel free to tell me more about yourself and perhaps we can grow to become even greater friends. I, myself, am a singer/songwriter/actor who has recently turned author. My 2 top ten recordings were CONCRETE & CLAY (as a singer) and NAVY BLUE (as a writer)...both in the early 1960's.

Regards, and have a great day, Ed
