Book Series Description:

From their windows, balconies, and gardens, the residents of the land of Acre stare north at the ominous black clouds that crawl across their beloved skies, overshadowing their homes. Under the clouds, a darkness has befallen the majestic City of Lynn.

Within the city, a cornered Queen, once true and just, now plays a game of cat and mouse with the races of Acre. Each season, as the Queen fights for control, the ‘Unknowns’ from the North approach. With them comes the stench of evil, fear, and death.

But… there is hope. A lost legend now awakened.

A set of dormant orbs lay in the gnarled hands of an old man. One by one, the dull orbs spark and swirl to life. Somewhere within the City of Lynn, the scroll of equals remains hidden. It’s text, supplied by the gods, awaits the chosen who may one day save the land of Acre.
​
Or so the legend says.

Waiting In The Wings is an invaluable resource for wannabe musical theatre stars which I think would make a great gift either to oneself or for budding performer friends. As someone who just enjoys being in show audiences however, I still found it to be a wonderfully enlightening read. As the subtitle expresses, this self help book is intended for people embarking upon a musical theatre career and it includes tons of practical advice delivered in an upbeat, enthusiastic style yet also with several back-down-to-earth warnings about just how much hard work is needed to succeed in this industry. I appreciated how honestly Tiffany Haas spoke about her own experiences, good and bad, and about her realisation of how tough it was going to be to stand out from the crowd. Waiting In The Wings is a distillation of everything she learned from the many auditions she attended as an eager performer and, in later years, sitting on the other side of the casting table. As she often reiterates, the hardest part is getting your face seen and remembered and I was intrigued by some of her ingenious strategies for doing this. Waiting In The Wings does have a strong American Broadway bias because that is where Haas' expertise lies, however I feel that most of her advice would be equally as valid for West End wannabes. This book also interested me as it gave me real insights into the efforts required for performers just to be offered a call-back audition, let alone a major role.

Book Description:

Teagan Tate has everything he’s ever wanted, but despite his wild success as a musician and his wild popularity with the ladies, he’s lonely. Meaningless hook-ups are getting old. There is one woman he’s interested in, but she won’t give him the time of day.

Maria Ruiz has no time for men like Teag – men with a revolving bedroom door who are too cocky for their own good. Sure, he has the body of a Greek god and a sexy Aussie accent, but as head of security for his band, Maria won’t risk her professional reputation. And as a woman who’s been there and done that, she won’t risk her heart.

Things take a deadly turn when Teag is the sole surviving witness to a cartel murder. Still recovering from his injuries, he’s forced into hiding with his sexy bodyguard. As their feelings grow into something unexpected and wonderful, a ruthless killer continues to hunt Teag.

​Maria and Teag must rely on each other to stay out of his crosshairs, or they risk losing each other and their chance at love.
