Countdown to my novel's debut...

Hi there,

I'm thrilled to report the release of my debut novel, PRETTY IN INK, is just 2 days away! Check out some advance buzz:

“Filled with juicy gossip and outrageous office politics…a dishy, catty book, that’s… an indulgent roll in the mud. Palmer writes this side of womanhood brilliantly.” – Publishers Weekly.

“A lighthearted gambol through the ever-changing world of women’s magazine publishing Read more of this blog post »

Quotes by Lindsey J. Palmer (?)

“I think of Gabe writing a 300-page tribute to his ex-girlfriend, which will soon be published for all the world to read. I think of Talia, who is apparently back in the picture, or maybe has been in it all along. And Charlie, trying his darnedest to be back in the picture, too, as usual knowing exactly where my tender spots are to probe at. And me, falling for the fantasy that a wedding dress can be some kind of chrysalis, metamorphosing me from a regular person with all my regular person problems into a beautiful butterfly, fit to fly away from it all. How naive I am, how stupid. ”

“He cracks a copy's spine to show me the dedication: "Mollymoo, this is for you." I feel the same welling up that I feel whenever Gabe signs a card this way or whispers the nickname in my ear. I snatch the book away to examine it further. But its weight in my hands reminds me that this isn't some private love note; it's a public declaration, the opener to a story that's all about Gabe's ex-girlfriend. In what way is this "for me"? How is it a gift? And what will Talia think when she reads the dedication? How about everyone else?”
