I had created this tall, thin, grouchy, rude roommate with a pixie cut in book one because I needed the antithesis of Landon. I didn’t want to let readers down, and I certainly want everyone to get their HEA but deciding that Mackenzie “Max” Jennings was worth her own book came with one HUGE problem… I had no idea how to write her! (PS – no I’m not making that last bit up, I’m a nerd, remember?) But as soon as Party Girl came out, readers started to ask about the other characters and Max in particular. I thought Party Girl was a standalone and then I’d go back to writing that historical time travel novel I’ve been working on for years. Initially, I never thought this would turn into a series. That’s my story! Oh sure, I’m not blonde and my dream guy is a brunette studio executive not a blonde surfer, but still… I was writing what I knew. Southern girl moves to LA from a small town, starts doing celebrity events and meets the man of her dreams. See when I wrote Party Girl I was writing a story I knew because it was a story I had lived. My family keeps asking me things like, so how does it feel to write your second book? In a word? Hard. It’s still pretty amazing to me that I have a first book, let alone a second one. Drawing on the author's real-life experiences as an event planner to the stars, Party Girl takes readers on an adventure among Hollywood's most beautiful-and most outrageous-people, revealing the ugly side of Hollywood's prettiest parties.In less than three weeks my second book, Sweet Girl comes out. But when the reality of the business reveals itself, she's forced to make a choice: do whatever it takes to get ahead, or stay true to herself. At first, the thrill of working on A-list parties and celebrity weddings is enough to survive the seventy-five-hour workweeks and her mercurial boss. Landon finds herself in a world in which spending a million dollars on an event-even a child's birthday party-is de rigueur, and the whims of celebrity clients are life-and-death matters. She's landed an internship with a fabulous event planner for the Hollywood elite, taking her from small-town Texas to the bright lights of LA. Landon Brinkley's dreams are all coming true. From the # 1 New York Times bestselling author of Girl, Wash Your Face comes the story of a small-town girl finding her way in Hollywood one misstep at a time.
