Posted By Chloe on December 17th, 2009

ann pearlman the cookie clubEvery year, Marnie and her 12 friends meet for the annual meeting of The Cookie Club which happens on the first Monday of December every year without fail. The friends have been there for each other through a lot of ups and downs, and that’s not about the change any time soon.

During the meeting, lots of secrets are revealed that shock the friends to the core. Marnie is waiting to hear from her pregnant daughter Sky about whether the baby is viable, Charlene is still struggling to get over the death of her son Luke, Tracey is hiding a huge secret from all but a few of her friends, Jeannie and Ruth are still enemies over the discovery of another friend’s betrayal that has torn their friendship apart, and Rosie has to decide which is more important - her marriage or her need for children.

Together the friends help each other get through their problems, and show each other how important it is to have friends who are there for you no matter what. Their lives are all woven together as they await anxiously for news of Marnie’s grandchild and pass around the cookies for another year, but what secrets are going to be revealed once and for all?

rock chicks ronni cooperHere is the fantastic cover for Ronni Cooper’s debut novel Rock Chicks. It’s due out on 10th June 2010 and sounds fantastic. The cover is modern, it’s eye-catching and I adore the font. Here is the synopsis and I for one can’t wait to read this book!

The groupie

Coco LaBiba has the beauty, she has the money, but she just needs sex, music and fame to get high. Yet behind every bad-girl diva is a girl crying out to be loved - she just hasn’t met the right man. Or has she?

The wife

Marny Rammer - pretty, quiet, devoted wife of the band’s lead singer. But there’s a price to pay when superstardom comes knocking on your husband’s door, and for Marny it comes in the dangerous shape of those little round pills…

The manager

Lori Wyatt is the girl from the sticks turned kick-ass band manager who can play any man at their own game - business, or pleasure - and who will do anything she can to sky-rocket her boys to the top. Anything.
