I finished Dollface a couple of weeks ago... I loved it! So excited to check out more of your works! What should I read next?

Hi Amber--
Thanks for your question! I'm so glad you enjoyed Dollface. I fell in love with the Roaring Twenties and was fascinated by the research for that book!
As for what you should read next... What The Lady Wants is currently out in paperback. It was published last November (also from Penguin/NAL) Like Dollface it's set in Chicago and tells the story of retail tycoon, Marshall Field and his 30 year love affair with his neighbor, Chicago socialite, Delia Spencer Caton. It opens with the Great Fire of 1871 and spans through the early 1900s. Lots of history on the 1893 World's Fair, the Haymarket Riots and the growth of Chicago's beloved department store (Marshall Field's & Co.)
And lastly, I can't believe I'm only three months away from the publication of my newest novel, White Collar Girl--out November 3rd. We pitched this as Mad Men meets House of Cards. It's set in Chicago in the 1950s against the backdrop of the Chicago Tribune and the Daley Machine. It deals with an ambitious female journalist trying to break into the male dominated world of reporting. It's full of lots of juicy real-life scandals and has a bit of a mystery running through it. I'm told it's my best writing to date so I'm very excited to tell people about that one. (BTW--I heard Amazon had it marked down to $7.99 for the e-book.)
So that was a long winded answer for you! :) In the meantime I hope you'll check out What The Lady Wants and that you'll enjoy it as much as you did Dollface.
Thanks again for your question--happy readings to you!
