As an editor, I read Charlotte Rogan's amazing debut novel, 'The Lifeboat, ' when it was still in manuscript. I read it in one night, and I really wanted my company to publish it, but we lost it to another house. It's such a wonderful combination of beautiful writing and suspenseful storytelling.
I love to go shopping at Target. They have so much stuff there, you can buy almost anything, it's really amazing.
