The Fashion Orphans by Randy Susan Meyers and M.J. Rose | Blue Box Press
Dear Reader,
Two estranged sisters find that forgiveness never goes out of style when they inherit their mother’s vintage jackets, purses … and pearls of wisdom.
Gabrielle and Lulu have only two things in common: mounds of debt and coils of unresolved enmity toward Bette, their controlling and imperious recently deceased mother. At the reading of the will they hope to hear about a sizable inheritance and then again turn their backs on each other, but to their shock, what they have been left is their mother’s secret closet jammed with high-end current and vintage designer clothes and accessories — most from Chanel.
The sisters can’t help but wonder if Lauren Weisberger had it wrong: because it seems, in fact, that the devil wore Chanel. But as they begin to explore their mother’s collection, meet and fall in love with her group of wonderful friends, and magically find inspiring messages tucked away in her treasures, it seems as though their mother is advising Lulu and Gabrielle from the beyond, helping them rediscover themselves and restore their relationship with each other.
“A fabulous story that dives into the complicated relationships of family, and offers a stylish escape. Simply captivating!” —Jennifer Probst, New York Times bestselling author
“There is grace and redemption in this celebration of sisterhood. Anything is possible in New York City, including forgiveness, but it is the enduring love of family that you will savor when you reach the end of this beautiful novel.” —Adriana Trigiani, New York Times bestselling author of Tony’s Wife
Happy reading!

Racing with Aloha: An Inspiring Journey from Humble Barefoot Maui Boy to Champion in the Water by Fred Haywood | Morgan James Publishing
Dear Reader,
Racing with Aloha is part adventure tale, part spiritual memoir. I met my friend Mark Spitz in high school, which led me to a championship swimming career. Later, I surfed isolated Indonesian beaches, mentored a young Laird Hamilton, and competed in world-renowned windsurfing contests, from Maui to England to Africa during the sport’s heyday.
“Fred’s depictions of surfing and swimming exploits are energetic and concise enough to engage even lounge chair adventurers.” —BlueInk Review
“Racing with Aloha will delight readers who love memoirs steeped in the atmosphere of Hawaii and the culture of surfing.” —Midwest Book Review
Aloha,
Fred Haywood
