THE SCOOP
Teresa "Toots" Amelia Loudenberry has crammed a great deal of
living--not to mention eight much-loved husbands--into her varied and
rewarding life. Newly single, Toots is ready to taste life again, and
fate has just handed her the perfect opportunity.
The owner of the gossip rag where Toots's daughter works is about to
lose the paper to his gambling debts. Eager to find a way to keep her
daughter employed among the movers and shakers of Hollywood, Toots calls
on her three trusted friends--Sophie, Mavis, and Ida--to help her pull
some strings. Together, they'll hatch a plan that promises thrills,
laughter, and more than a hint of danger. Putting aside her widow's
weeds (black was never her color), Toots will prove that you should
never underestimate a Southern lady of a certain age, and that each day
can be a gift, if you're willing to claim it....
EXCLUSIVE
When Toots Loudenberry relocated to Los Angeles from South Carolina to
be near her daughter, Abby, she expected to bump into the occasional
celebrity. She just never expected them to be dead. Meanwhile, Toots,
Sophie, and Mavis are concerned that the prestigious Dr. Sameer's
budding romance with Ida may have something to do with his ailing bank
balance. And Abby's attempted makeover of the celebrity magazine The
Informer into the most talked-about tabloid in town could end more than
just her career.
But the Godmothers wouldn't be the Godmothers if they weren't pulling a
few behind-the-scenes strings, and Abby's hopes of changing the fortunes
of The Informer are still alive. Yet it'll take an assist from a source
no one could have predicted, let alone see, to secure a story that will
shake Tinseltown to its very core....
