"Will do anything legal for $50,000." When a flighty young heiress answers his classified ad for emergency funds to repair his fishing boat, it's almost a dream come true for Nantucket native Kevin Dunbar. Unfortunately, it's the worst nightmare imaginable for the spoiled and self-absorbed Rachel McCarrick. Intent on temporarily passing Kevin off as her fianc until the real love of her life can commit to marrying her, the last thing Rachel ever expected was that both her mother and her cynical grandfather would actually warm up to this guy and welcome him to their Santa Barbara estate. Her father, meanwhile, decides to enlist the aid of one of Rachel's former beaus to expose Kevin as nothing more than a fortune hunter. Or is he? The only fortune Kevin has his sights on right now has absolutely nothing - and everything - to do with the girl who caught his heart from the very first night they met.

San Francisco wedding planner Kate Jefferson couldn't have cared less that her former boyfriend was tying the knot...until his too rich/too thin/too snooty fianc e hired her to orchestrate The Event of the Century for them. With her business under threat of unfavorable publicity if even the teensiest thing goes wrong, Kate has no shortage of challenge in dealing with cost-cutting fathers-in-law, bickering bridesmaids, hourly demands and complaints from the bride, and a family emergency that forces her regular photographer to send a last-minute substitute named Jack Armstrong. While the latter is clearly easy on the eyes and has an uncanny way of diffusing every crisis, he's also on the estate this weekend to capture something which has nothing to do with photographs in a wedding album.

Who told your muse she could go on vacation?

Writing is--and always will be--a solitary craft but never so lonely as when you realize you've been staring at a blank page or blinking cursor for two hours and worrying that your creative wellspring has suddenly run dry. Fear not Within these chapters are tips and story-starters for unclogging your mental logjam and getting your ideas and words to once more flow.

In 1853, Archduchess Sophie of Bavaria decided it was time for her beloved son, Franz Joseph, to take a wife and start producing heirs. Rather than trust such an important union to Fate--or worse, Romance--she sent for her sister Ludovika's docile older daughter, Helene, to come to the court for a once-over and a quick proposal of marriage. Accompanying Helene and their mother on the journey was the 15-year-old Elisabeth. Free-spirited and beautiful, is it any wonder that the Emperor of Austria took just one look and realized he had found his soul mate. This one-act drama intercuts between two conversations that would ultimately change the course of history--the volatile exchange between Ludovika and Sophie (the latter who abhors losing) and Helene and Elisabeth (the latter who dreads winning).
It was bad enough finding out she had just become newly deceased on the morning of a major corporate merger she had spent months putting together. The real bombshell for Gwen Truax comes when she's informed by the powers that be in the Hereafter she has an assignment which must be completed by Christmas; specifically, to find a new wife for Dan, the husband she was planning to divorce. Sent back to Earth in the frumpy persona of an inept typist, forced to live in a terrible flat above a noisy Chinese restaurant, and-even worse-to be fraternizing amongst the lowest rungs of her former executive ladder, Gwen has yet to discover that all of her actions are being evaluated by an angel in disguise.
Against the bright colors and even brighter lights of Hollywood was an icon whose fashion sense and dazzling couture rocked celebrity circles for half a century and earned her eight Academy Awards. Small in stature but super-sized in confidence, costume designer Edith Head's rise through the ranks of Paramount and Universal made her a favorite of the film industry's most beautiful women and most dashing men. Just like her creations for the silver screen, Edith embraced the belief that classics never go out of style, a belief reflected in her personal fondness for tailored suits in black, white, brown and beige-a diminutive dove amidst the plumage of star-studded peacocks. This one-act play, set in 1977, imagines an encounter between the intrepid designer and a young woman sorely in need of some wardrobe advice.
After a lifetime of bachelorhood, retired handyman George Mertons is finally tying the knot. His roommate of the past 40 years, however, is none too pleased with the impending nuptials; the bride-to-be is Bernard's ex-wife, Margaret, a successful romance novelist with a home on Beacon Hill. Though the flames of matrimonial ex-passion have long since died for Bernard, he is nonetheless intent on fanning whatever controversy he can into a minor inferno in order to validate his worth to George as the latter's best friend. The friction only escalates when George and Bernard's rent-controlled apartment goes condo, now leaving Bernard with nowhere to hang his hat.
Since the 16th century, the Russians have had a secret weapon-an elite military brigade answerable only to the Tsar himself and striking terror in the hearts of its enemies whenever the moon is full. As the present-day war in the Middle East continues to escalate, American intelligence officer Lucy MacDonald and her aide, Captain David Armstrong, have been sent to Moscow to engage Soviet assistance in wresting nuclear weapons from Islamic fundamentalists. Against a backdrop of double-dealing terrorists, chauvinistic superiors, supernatural interventions and a media that's literally out for blood, Lucy's off-limits attraction to the charismatic Dmitri Volkov begins to challenge her well-grounded sensibilities regarding rumors that the brigade of legend is actually real. But will her endeavors to uncover the truth about the existence of an unacknowledged Romanov heir behind the scenes put her in jeopardy at the hands of the brooding officer with whom she feels an inexplicable bond?
