Come and join the fun! Meet Margo and visit her fabulous blog hostesses.

Dear ,

Are you ready for some fun? Margo Candela's new book, Good-bye To All That, is a fast and funny chick lit novel you won't be able to put down!

In today's interview, we chat with Margo about her latest novel, the secret behind her dedication page, having family and friends critique your writing, and even a bit about working with her editor. Margo shares a story about how she convinced her editor to take on another book, but then changed her mind and went back to working on the original. "I know I've cashed that chip in and can't ever do that again," she says.

Stop by The Muffin today and comment for a chance to win a signed copy of Good-bye To All That!

If you have a question about writing chick lit or anything else, stop by and ask Margo Candela a question. She'll be checking in and chatting with WOW! readers today, so be sure to take advantage of this wonderful opportunity.

Margo's dance card is pretty full, but if you'd like to host her on your blog, please e-mail us with your request. Also, be sure to check out our upcoming tours in the sections below.

 About Good-bye To All That
Good-bye To All That

Good-bye To All That

By Margo Candela

When her Hollywood career goes haywire, a young woman must say good-bye to all that...or must she?

Raquel Azorian has worked her way from temp to executive assistant and is this close to a promotion to junior marketing exec at Belmore Corporation, the media behemoth she's devoted herself to. She's learned to play the Hollywood game--navigate office politics, schmooze the right people, avoid the wrong ones, and maintain a sense of decorum even in the craziest of times. All she needs is for her boss to sign her promotion memo. Instead of putting pen to paper, he suffers a very public meltdown that puts not only his professional future but also Raquel's on the line.

Getting to the next rung on the Belmore ladder will require every ounce of focus, but that's not going to be easy. Raquel's mom has decided to leave her husband and move into Raquel's apartment, and her older brother seems to be sinking deeper and deeper into depression. Raquel has to keep her job, stop her parents from divorcing, and save her brother. In the chaos of juggling to much, she finally reaches a breaking point; there's just not enough time for everyone. She's going to have to choose--success at work or happiness at home. But then a chance encounter at a bookstore cafe leads Raquel to start planning her own Hollywood ending...on her own terms.

Genre: Chick lit
Paperback: 320 pages
Publisher: Touchstone (July 2010)
ISBN: 1416571353

Good-bye To All That is available through Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble, Borders, and both chain and independent bookstores nation wide.
