Sweet Talk

Seniors #15

by Eileen Goudge

Elaine's heart has been beating double time ever since she met her friend Karen's older brother. Zack is not only the most exciting guy she's ever met, but he also shares her interest in film. If only her boyfriend, Carl, thrilled her the way just talking with Zack does. — Elaine still cares about Carl, but she's tired of dates spent playing cards or shopping for computer components. Zack's nightly phone calls are all she can think about. Even when she's with Carl. Elaine can't stop fantasizing about her friend's handsome brother.

When Zack invites her to his college film festival, Elaine accepts. But secretly she's worried. Is she right to want more from romance, she wonders, or has her head been turned by Zack's SWEET TALK?

About the author

I began writing at the age of eight and wrote my way through the lean years before I found success as New York Times' bestselling author with my first novel GARDEN OF LIES. To date I have published 19 novels and a cookbook. Every life experience I've weathered has found its way into my novels in one form or another: bad exes, births, deaths, divorces, romances, and even true crime. My heroines are like me: tough cookies who don't crumble.

My latest novel, Book One of my Gold Creek series, ALL THEY NEED TO KNOW, is the story of a woman fleeing her abusive ex who finds refuge in a small California mountain town, where she's befriended by a group of women who call themselves The Tattooed Ladies and reinvents herself as a police sketch artist. Kyra "draws lines to stop crimes," as they say in the biz, never imagining she'll one day be forced to confront the biggest criminal of all: her ex.

I'm married to former entertainment reporter Sandy Kenyon and the mother of two grown children. We live in Sacramento, California, where we remodeled a 1940's house for which I was the on-site project manager. Fortunately, multi-tasking is my superpower, so I was able to write a book and supervise a home remodel at the same time. The latter is sure to find its way into a future book. Follow me on Instagram and Facebook to see pics of my home remodel and other adventures.
