Cos'ha di speciale Stephanie PIum? Apparentemente non molto. E' carina, solida, spiritosa, cresciuta nel pittoresco quartiere chiamato il Borgo di una città del New Jersey che invece di pittoresco non ha nulla. Quando malauguratamente si ritrova disoccupata, visto che al Borgo sono tutti imparentati tra di loro, pensa di andare a chiedere aiuto al cugino Vinnie, che ha un'agenzia di cauzioni: presta soldi a chi deve uscire di prigione fino alla data del processo, ma se i debitori non si presentano in tribunale spedisce sulle loro tracce degli agenti incaricati di catturarli e portarli alla polizia. E Stephanie capita proprio al momento giusto per occuparsi dell'incarico migliore: acciuffare l'irresistibile, affascinante, canagliesco Joe Morelli, con cui aveva avuto una torrida avventura (come peraltro metà delle donne del New Jersey), ora poliziotto in fuga accusato di omicidio. Munita di pistola, manette e spray antiaggressione, Stephanie si improvvisa agente di recupero cauzioni; ha a che fare con un campionario di maniaci sessuali, ubriaconi e perditempo, e si ritrova coinvolta in vicende paradossali che però conducono tutte allo stesso mistero di cui Morelli sembra la chiave. E come se non bastasse, un pericoloso assassino, completamente pazzo, non vede l'ora di metterle le mani addosso e ridurla in fin di vita...

Una regina per mille giorni; l'altra per oltre quarant'anni. Entrambe donne appassionate e testarde, amate e odiate da Enrico VIII. Fino alla scoperta del diario segreto, Anna Bolena e sua figlia, Elisabetta I, non si erano mai realmente incontrate. Anna, la seconda delle sei mogli di Enrico, destinata a essere amata, tradita e decapitata. Quando Enrico si innamorò perdutamente di lei al suo ritorno dall'educazione alla lasciva corte francese, era già un uomo sposato. La sua passione per Anna era così intensa da scuotere le fondamenta dell'Inghilterra e di tutta la Cristianità, ma alla fine la abbandonò per un altro amore, complottò contro di lei e la condannò a morte. Ma, senza che il re lo sapesse, Anna aveva tenuto un diario. All'inizio del regno di Elisabetta, il diario le viene consegnato. Leggendolo, la giovane regina scopre molto della madre tanto denigrata: la determinazione ferrea di Anna, la sua conoscenza faticosamente acquisita sul vivere in un mondo dominato da uomini despoti, e il suo profondo amore per la figlia neonata, strappatale poco dopo la nascita. Nelle pagine del diario, Elisabetta trova un'eco della sua vita drammatica come giovane donna appassionata al centro del potente establishment maschile dell'Inghilterra, e con la conoscenza acquisita, prende una risoluzione che cambierà il corso della storia.

Ať už kamarádky o mém tříletém období sucha říkají cokoli, nehledám si muže. Nestojím o drama. Ani o sex. Mám i tak co dělat se svým tvůrčím blokem a dcerou, která odmítá dospět. Komunita.

Protože mám taky ve všem zmatek? Aspoň mě inspiruje k psaní. Kéž by se reálný život podobal mým románům. Pak bych aspoň měla lepší představu o tom, jak tohle dopadne.
