THE SPINSTER SISTERS

Romance Contemporary

What if you make being single your life's work? And what if you are wildly successful at it? Then in between broadcasting your weekly satellite radio talk show, writing your latest advice book and launching "Spinster Sisters" licensed merchandise in major retail outlets, you find yourself thinking about one particular guy?

Since her divorce, Jodi Spingold has dated three or four different guys at a time, all while spending time socially with her trendy and highly regarded spinster aunts and working closely with her sister, Jill, on all aspects of their corporation, Spinster Inc. When Jill gets engaged to a wonderful man, the press jumps on the story and the sisters' many single fans turn bitter and disgruntled.

The situation escalates when Jodi's ex-husband's horrid new fiancรฉe begins threatening to plant negative publicity in the press unless they pay her off. But for all of her many worries, Jodi is most concerned about Connor, the intriguing man she met at the grocery store while trying to buy the last bag of mini-marshmallows for her Thanksgiving sweet potatoes. She's specifically concerned with whether he will call, whether he likes her as much as she likes him and whether she needs to stay single in order to keep the corporation viable and profitable.

From inside the minds of dating advice experts, Stacey Ballis creates a network of supportive sisters from their elderly aunts to their fortunate coworkers and all of their adoring fans. Practical and pointed advice, excerpted from Jodi and Jill's advice books, starts each new chapter to contrast the changes in their lives with the reality of their business. Ballis addresses the dilemmas of empowered, independent women who are proud of their single status, but also looking hopefully toward settling down with someone special with grace and eloquence. She asks the hard questions, like what gives our popular relationship experts their credibility, and can THE SPINSTER SISTERS continue to expand their woman-centered corporate empire if they loose their spinster status?

SUMMARY

Jodi and Jill Spingold are the Spinster Sistersโ€ฆ With a two-hour radio show, speaking engagements, a series of DVDs, and two bestselling books, โ€œLiving Twenty-Fiveโ€ and โ€œThe โ€˜Thirtyโ€™ Commandmentsโ€, theyโ€™ve built a thriving cottage industry out of helping other single women find happiness and empowerment. Their future has never been brighter. And thatโ€™s when Jill turns out the lightsโ€”by announcing her engagement. Jodiโ€™s in a tailspin. How can they be the Spinster Sisters if one of them is married? Complicating things is her own love life, involving three vastly different paramours offering three different kinds of happinessโ€”none of which Jodi is sure she wants. And her ex-husband, backed by his nightmarishly manipulative new girlfriend, may be angling for a piece of the Spinster Sisters empire. Now, Jodi must make some tough decisions, keep the business afloat, and make it to the altar to stand by her sisterโ€” even if means that from now on sheโ€™ll be single all by herself...
