Whenever You Call

From reviews of previous novels:"...a knack for quirky characters." (Kirkus)"...sparkles with sharp, clear, and occasionally earthy humor." (Booklist)"...A most entertaining microcosm, featuring standout characters, witty dialogue, and a clever story." (Library Journal)For single women, of "a certain age," on the dating scene and more ---Rose, living in a lopsided cottage in Cambridge, Massachusetts, two-and-a-half years into celibacy (but who’s counting?), decides to quit the writing biz and become a bartender. In a flash, celibacy is a memory as she begins an affair with the gorgeous instructor of her bar tending course, lands her first gig, and finds herself in a dangerous and seductive e-mail relationship with a man hiding behind the moniker Rabbitfish, whom she first spotted on an internet dating site. Not only is he handsome and witty, but he also seems to have the uncanny ability to read her mind. Is it surprising, then, that her hapless angel, Ralph, pops up, trying to warn her of....what exactly? Despite the fact that her most recent ex-husband has decided to become a Buddhist monk, Rose is dubious that angels even exist. Plus, she’s downright insulted that her angel is so, well, unattractive. Is she crazy or -- finally -- growing up? An unexpected event (let’s not call it a miracle) might bring Rose an answer to her prayers, the prayers of a skeptic, no less.
