The Chick Palace represents the first book I purchased for my brand new Nook Tablet. I wanted to experiment with all types of downloads, so I looked for a reasonably priced (aka cheap) book to purchase. I wasn't expecting much for $3.99, but I was pleasantly surprised.
Johanna and Lilly became best friends as soon as they became college roommates years ago. Lilly and her husband (Ex-ex, the man she married and divorced twice) own the small cottage next door to Johanna's family's much larger spread. Johanna is still recovering from the loss of her mother and is trying to fill her shoes in the extended family even though she really doesn't want to. Lilly's youngest is moving away for graduate school, leaving Lilly with an empty nest. Lilly also has to work out a workable schedule for using the vacation home with Ex-ex and his new main squeeze. The women find refuge in the tree house that their boys built years ago to get away from the "grils." "No grils allowed!" They rename it The Chick Palace.
Thanks for this post on The Chick Palace, characters & a theme so close to my heart. eBooks are brand new for me, too, an experiment after 30 books the traditional way~~in paper. And a wild ride! After 4 weeks as a Nook exclusive it'll also move to Amazon. We writers, agents & publishers are trying to keep up!
