"Love Has a Price Tag"
A collection of 8 short stories (some true, some not) and two stageplays, as well as a screenplay by Rebecca Randolph Buckley.
It all begins on a frightful night in SHOE'S ON THE OTHER FOOT, then prepare to blush and get warm all over when you read the sensual scenes in BATMAN'S RIDDLER IN KANSAS CITY. You may relate to ANSWER THE PHONE, a breaking off with the old and starting anew, then we travel to Oklahoma in PLEASE COME BACK and feel the fear of a young woman in hiding, after which you'll experience that time we all dread when we're too old in TAKE ME, LORD, TAKE ME NOW. Next it's a teen-age girl in awe of a movie star in CARY GRANT & PINK CORDUROY, and you better have a handkerchief handy when you read OH YES, I REMEMBER - all about lost love and prejudices. You'll cheer for Amanda in *AMANDA'S DREAM and Rachel O'Neill in a screenplay: **PEACE IN THE VALLEY. And LITTLE KATIE MCMULLEN is a stageplay based on the life of Catherine Cookson, the British novelist, from age 13 as one of the poorest of the poor to her death at 91 when she was ranked 17 among the richest in the UK. OPPOSITE ENDS OF THE RAINBOW is another stageplay about two people, dramatic opposites, and how they attempt to survive their differences in order to marry.
*"Amanda's Dream" is a preview of one of my upcoming novels in the midnight series - "Midnight in Brussels"
**"Peace in the Valley" is actually the first appearance of Rachel O'Neill in my work and is a prequel to "Midnight at Trafalgar Square."
