Overview

'All My Tomorrows' is losing the ratings war.

For headwriter Alice McGillicutty, the past year has had enough drama. Her mother passed away, her last relationship ended in disaster, and now poor ratings are catapulting her long-running soap opera toward cancellation. For comfort and creative inspiration, she begins reading 'The Edge of Darkness,' an old melodramatic paperback she found among her mother's belongings.

When scandal rips Hollywood bad boy Peter Walsingham off the tabloids and into her studio, Alice doubts the small screen is big enough for his ego - or his entourage. In their battle of pride and prejudice, will Peter's vanity and arrogance compel Alice to write him out of her script?

Or can she find a role for him in All My Tomorrows?

This contemporary romance not only follows Alice and Peter as they wrestle with misunderstandings, pride, and prejudices, but also the trials and travails of Alexandra, the heroine of the absurdist novel 'The Edge of Darkness.' Full chapters of the book-within-the-book are included as Alice reads and allows that story to influence her own.

Though the plot of the primary novel is vaguely reminiscent of 'Pride and Prejudice,' Peter and Alice are no Darcy and Elizabeth but fully-formed characters from the twenty-first century.

The story opens with a book that tells another tale throughout the main story. I did not have a problem with that, it just made me want to know what happened next in both stories. Two books for the price of one, a bonus if you ask me.

So for the main story; hot sexy men, bad hollywood divas. drugs and the kind of sparks that you would expect between a latterday Lizzy and Darcy.

Are you a fan of soap operas? If you are, this book is for you. All My Tomorrows is a very smart, comical and fast paced version of Pride and Prejudice.

Alice McGillicutty is a writer for the daytime drama, All My Tomorrows. With the ratings in the toilet, Alice turns to romance novels that her mother used to read. The current one she is drawing material from is The Edge of Darkness. To try to bring the ratings up during sweeps week, All My Tomorrows is bringing on a new actor to lure v

Meet the Author

Colette Saucier has been writing poems, short stories, and novellas since grade school and experienced early success in having several of her poems published in her junior high school newspaper. Her interest in literature led her to marry her college English professor, but eventually a love of history encouraged her to trade up to a British historian.
Technical writing has dominated Colette's career for the past twenty years; but finding little room for creativity in that genre, she spent fifteen months traveling to Britain and researching Regency England, as well as vampire lore and literature, to complete her first full-length novel Pulse and Prejudice, the paranormal adaptation of Pride and Prejudice, which follows the cursed Mr. Darcy as he endeavours to overcome both his love and his bloodlust for Miss Elizabeth Bennet.
Colette is also the author of All My Tomorrows, a modern tale of pride and prejudice.
Colette's other current projects include a sequel to Pulse and Prejudice entitled Dearest Bloodiest Elizabeth, set in Antebellum New Orleans. She lives in South Louisiana with her historian husband and their two dogs.

    Reviewed by Ellen Hogan for Readers Favorite

    Alice's job is writing for the soap opera "All My Tomorrows". Peter wants out of his contract on a prime time drama. The deal he got is to appear for a limited time on Alice's soap. She is less than enthusiastic when Peter, his agent Jack and girlfriend Winnie show up for filming. Alice has all kinds of misconceptions where Peter is concerned. He leaves to film a movie in which Alice's friend Eileen is in too. However, when Eileen invites Alice to come on location she fails to tell her that Peter will be there too. One night after getting very drunk Alice tells Peter just what she thinks of him and the next morning he sets her straight about some of things she said. After they finally have a night together another crisis on the show tears them apart, but Peter's reaction during the crisis shows Alice just the kind of man he is and that he is the kind of man she wants.

    "All My Tomorrows" is a fun read. The characters actually make this book. Headstrong Alice is judgmental when it comes to Peter, making their budding relationship even more fun. Watching their friends get involved is even more entertaining. "All My Tomorrows" is a story within the story, which will entertain and delight readers. This is romance at its best delivered on a silver platter.
