I'm crossing my fingers that the whole bookstore doesn't float away: we've been having rain, rain and more rain up here for the past week. (What a week for Youngest to go to camp! I'm hoping she hasn't grown mildew on her sheets.)<br /><br />For those of you asking about the plot of RESTRIKE, I'd definitely suggest it for fans of Jane Cleland, Lea Wait (another Maine author!)and Sheila Connolly's Museum Mysteries.Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09553268569509053159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-7049995332455409332013-07-10T14:55:14.022-04:002013-07-10T14:55:14.022-04:00Lisa, it’s just too soon to say.

Dinah runs a small fine art print gallery in Greenwich Village; Coleman is owner of a magazine, ArtSmart. Dinah is newly married; Coleman prefers flings.<br /><br />A billionaire comes to New York to open a print museum (the only one in the USA), and pays fantastic prices to buy what he wants. Lots of creepy people come out of the shadows to grab some of his money, and use all kinds of tricks to cheat him. Crime escalates. Someone dies. Both young women are horrified about what is happening in their world.<br /><br />Another person—a friend of Coleman’s—dies, and she is determined to stop this, and to find the culprit. Warning: Coleman is sometimes reckless. Luckily, Dolly, her dog, is with her when bad things happen.<br /><br />I am so glad you are interested in Restrike, and that if you read it, you’ll enjoy it.<br /><br />Regards, RebaReba White Williamshttp://rebawhitewilliams.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-63899936802751662772013-07-10T10:16:30.344-04:002013-07-10T10:16:30.344-04:00Congratulations Reba!
