BWW Reviews: FORTUNE IN MY EYES: A Memoir of Broadway Glamor, Social Justice, and Political Passion
by Victoria Noe - April 04, 2013

And if it seems at times as if he's lived a Forrest Gump-like life, well, that's not a criticism.

by BWW News Desk - April 03, 2013
Too often people do not have the luxury of spending all day with a good book. Busy people know it is disastrous for productivity to get involved with a novel that is too good to put down. That's why serial novels are great for people that can't afford to sit and read all day. With a serial novel, the reader can read one chapter, feel the fullness of it, and get back to work. According to author Holly Wilde, 'Pick a good serial novel. It's a slow burning read that just takes a few moments out of your busy week.' Ms. Wilde says the best part about serial novels is the curiosity factor. 'It's not instant gratification, but dreaming about what's coming up next can be very exciting.'
