Smart Women Reading

What's Jack up to? The Jackster is chilling still recuperating after a busy Halloween weekend. Spending much of his time under the bed or lazing about in the couch. For Halloween he just about barked himself out with the ringing doorbell. My favorite was him trying to push through the glass door and my little neighbor girl dressed as a very annoyed nun holding it shut with one hand and looking at him with reproach and he bounced up and down just tuckering his self out.

Last night I did my monthly escape to Lady Jane's Salon. New York's only romance reading series and once again had a fine time.

This month the featured guests were:
New York Times and USA today Bestselling Author Caridad Pineiro.




Caridad read from her newest book Sins of the Flesh. A sexy paranormal suspense novel that at times can hit a little to close to home. You can check out Caridad here.

Also reading was Joanne Rendell who did a mock play of sorts with excerpts from her book Crossing Washington Square with the help of a hilariously funny cast of helpers.
It's the story of two strong willed university professors and the tensions between them. Check out Joanne, her musings and her first release here.



Lastly, helping to MC the night was Elizabeth Kerri Mahon of the Scandalous Women blog who was celebrating her birthday while dressed as Marie Antoinette who shares the same birthday! Happy Birthday again Elizabeth. You looked wonderful. You can check out Elizabeth's scandalous blog here.


Best,
Kwana

It is always a blessing to get out and be with friends.

On Halloween Maddie got her self so worked up with the door bell I thought she'd have a puppy heart attack. Since the weather was beautiful we took advantage of it and sat on the porch and handed out candy. It was a great night.

Thanks for all the comments. I'm always happy to attend Lady Jane's and take pics with my unreliable Crackberry. So nice to see old friends and make new ones.
