Murderous Descent, by Dawn Miller

Due out November 20th at Publish America and Amazon.
Published by Publish America.

MURDEROUS DESCENT, by Dawn Miller

When Susan Reed, the third wife of Dylan Reed, the popular star of the cult science fiction series SPACE AVENGERS, is found dead in her Spring Lake, New Jersey, swimming pool. Elementary school teacher/amateur sleuth Jamie Hamilton is the only one who suspects foul play. However, the tide soon turns against the aging actor who portrayed the infamous Captain Travis Keating when one of his bitter co-stars, David Montgomery, appears in an interview accusing Dylan Reed of murdering his wife as well as the up and coming actor who was to take over the helm in the new fall NBC Avenger series.

At first convinced of Reed’s guilt, Jamie’s tune changes slightly when her husband Michael is retained to defend his adolescent hero. She puts aside her doubts of innocence to embark on a quest to help Michael clear his high profile client.

As she delves deeper into the lives of the aging Avenger stars, Jamie discovers more than one skeleton along the way. Will she uncover the truth in time or become another victim?

It's In The Bag...DELCINA's Merchandise Selection Criteria and Process

A handbag is not that much different from an investment product. Yeah, there are the colors, the sizes, the ROR, the yield, etc. But, after you break it down, the same decision-making process cascades through all of our chosen merchandise. Wall Street's intense information onslaught has taught us that due diligence pays.

The funny part is when we decide to carry a line, it's usually after months of studying, researching and filtering. Here are some of our criteria in evaluating a designer and its line:

+ Value
+ Intentions
+ Quality
+ Uncompromising material
+ Details
+ Design
+ Practicality
+ Durability...in time and style

So it's no surprise that when we decide to carry a handbag line, soy candles, or letterpress stationery, these products undoubtedly get press or PR coverage from Lucky, InStyle, Elle, Marie Claire, Vogue, style.com...you get the idea!

French Laundry

Any time you go to the Napa Valley, it's a food and wine orgy!

Finally, we feasted at the reservation-required-cum-don't-let-me-be-late gastronomic mecca, French Laundry.

The tasty, unforgetable lobster pancake poached in butter, brioche freshly warmed, toasted and served for your fois gras, ever-present (yet non-intrusive) service, light califlower puree meets salty Sevruga carvier, salad of micro-green argula. And those golden Yukon potatoes...more please! While the portions are true to a "chef's tasting menu," after the 3rd course out of 9, you'll thank Thomas Keller for anticipating the delicate sizes.

The house's clothespin memorabilia felt like a precious gem from Cartier.

SmartMoney..."Skipping the Sales Tax"

SmartMoney.com, a magazine venture by Dow Jones and Hearst, posted this article. Below in quotes:

"SHOPPING ONLINE HAS all sorts of perks: You can wear your pajamas, avoid crowds and never have to worry about someone looking over your shoulder at whatever odd item you're buying.

Here's one advantage you might not have noticed: Some web sites are sales-tax free....That's because under current law, online retailers aren't required to collect sales tax unless they have a physical presence (brick-and-mortar store, warehouse, etc.) in a shopper's home state..."

Handbags: A Labor of Love

Jean, the owner of DELCINA, looooves handbags. Shoes too, but that's a whole different ballgame!

She reminisces about her first $100+ bag (a leather tote from The Tannery on Broadway (downtown New York)). She used to pass by the store to-and-from NYU Business School and the train station. The hunter green distressed leather was thick with strength while beautifully treated for smoothness. Now 15 years later, she still has that good-looking tote, looking better than ever. Funny thing, her little one's now using it to lug books to-and-from the library.

A handbag doesn't have to be so serious as to "define" you. Jean does believe, however, that bags must satisfy a practical need as much as be an accessory. Something needs to hold the cell/pda, hunka wallet, keys, eye drops, lipstick, water bottle, snacks, magical toys...why not look good at the same time!

So it's not surprising that DELCINA is launching its own line of handbags. Function, style and sophistication flow through each design, expectedly!

> featured supple leather
> pretty canvas lining with unbelievable details
> interior zipper + cell + pda pockets
> added interior strip stitching for durability
> distinctive metal zippers
> uniformed, shiny brass hardware
> leather trim
> DELCINA suede label

Enjoy and have fun,

Calling All Football Widows

It's all about to drop! Sense the anxiousness, the build-up, a whole 7 months of void to be filled after the Superbowl. Those no-car-on-the-road, get-anywhere-in-5 minute-Sundays are about to come back. All because your man is glued to the tube for football.

And it's OK. Because that just means we're left alone and GET TO DO WHATEVER WE WANT. Let's see, hum:
* lunch and spa with compadre girlfriends
* take the kids out for an event
* visit the "rents" for some QT
* be alone and actually finish that book you started 4 weeks ago
