“And this is another great thing about being a writer, that nothing you do in your life ever goes to waste. You cut it out in little stars and scatter it into the heaven of everything you write.”

Wedding

“My, what a boring job you have!” was a comment I heard often when I worked as a wedding hostess at one of the famous Newport mansions. Oh no, it was fascinating to stand on duty, observing the interactions of everyone from the caterers in the kitchen to the well-heeled guests.

By telling the story of a society wedding from multiple viewpoints – bride and groom, wedding party and mansion staff – my novel takes the reader behind the scenes at a wickedly funny affair.
