Talk of the Town

by Suzanne Macpherson

Overview

She's about to give everyone something to talk about!

Nothing can put a damper on a wedding day quite like discovering your Mr. Right is Mr. Totally Beyond Wrong, which is why Kelly Atwood knocks him flat and boards a bus to Paradise, Washington. What Kelly doesn't know is that she's accidentally taken off with a suitcase full of lots of money and now some unsavory characters are determined to get it back.

The townsfolk are unperturbed by the gorgeous outsider – even if her skirts are too short and her hair is too big. In fact, the local busybodies are already trying to match her up with blue-eyed local hero – upright attorney Sam Grayson.

One look at Kelly, and Sam gets hot around his too-tight collar. This runaway bride is definitely disturbing his peace, and he's got enough problems. But now big trouble is heading to Paradise, right on Kelly's stiletto heels – and passion may temporarily have to take a back seat to a more pressing pursuit – running for her life.

About the Author

I was born in New Mexico back in the fifties (she said vaguely), when they were chasing aliens and inventing the big bombs. A mixed bag of exposure led to comedy and glow in the dark teeth.

My family settled in the northwest, where those rainy days led me to read constantly. I grew up with Nancy Drew, Anya Seton, Gene Stratton Porter, Charlotte Bronte and Thomas Hardy, anything to take me Far from the Madding Crowd!

Most of my inspiration comes from old movies, jazz, and real life. Old movies are a gold mine of character exploration. Romantic comedies from the 1930's and 1940's were absolutely amazing in their complexity, simplicity, and subtlety. When you watch a movie like His Girl Friday and listen to the dialogue banter, it's a thing of beauty. Well, it is for me anyway. Just put on Stella Dallas if you want to weep for an hour or The Thin Man series if you want some mystery and comedy mingled! Don't even get me started on Alfred Hitchcock, he was a genius with the medium. And the Selsnick films. Portrait of Jenny, Laura; magnificent! I've logged enough miles on Turner Classic Movies to build a stairway to Paradise.
