Champagne Blues
by Nan LyonsThe story begins with Claude, the most formidable concierge in all Paris. Claude is preparing for a crisis. As he waits, we note the Baccarat crystal, the Meisonnier silver tray, the Lalique ashtray. The crisis? The threatened invasion of the tourists.An hilarious travel romp from the authors of SOMEONE IS KILLING THE GREAT CHEFS OF EUROPE.Nan Lyons has been a food and travel writer for over twenty years, contributing to Bon Appétit, Travel + Leisure, More, Hamptons, L'official New York Newsday, as well as creating the Fielding's Agenda series and the Access Walking guides. In collaboration with her husband Ivan, she wrote the first novel with a food background, "Someone is Killing the Great Chefs of Europe" which was then made into a major motion picture. They went on to write four other novels as well as scores of articles on food and travel.She has just finished her newest book, "Around the World in 80 Meals" (Red Rock Press) was published in late 2010. Nan has most recently been made Associate Editor for "Let's Travel" a new website which features interviews as well as podcasts and articles on every aspect of travel. Her particular expertise is focused on restaurants, shopping and luxury hotels.For those who found Someone is Killing the Great Chefs of Europe a yummy giggle: another cute, dirty, show-offy, occasionally appealing smorgasbord of puns, farce, food, sex, and minimal plot. That minimal plot: WW II Resistance hero Claude Picard, now the suave (he bathes in Pernod) concierge of Paris' ritzy Louis Quinze Hotel ("We have not had a cancellation since the Archduke Ferdinand in 1914!"), is fed up with the befouling presence of foreign tourists; so he and some war cronies plan to kidnap four famous Americans and demand the evacuation of all tourists in exchange for the hostages' lives. The four Americans? Two married couples who dominate opposite ends of the travel guide business: very rich Emma and Cliffy Benjamin write the Penny Pinchers' Guide to Europe; secretly impoverished Lily and Dwight Simon write Simon Says, the travel guide for the super-rich. Both couples are staying at Claude's hotel, preparing for an airline-sponsored tour of the Champagne country. And the earthy Benjamins loathe the blasé Simons, of course and vice versa, so there's bitchy insulting galore, along with jokes about tourists, Mickey Mouse watches, McDonald's, prices in Paris. . . and one hilarious sequence: the Benjamins visit a Mother Superior who's intent on converting her austere convent (some rooms have no windows, a few have no doors) into a chic hostel: "It is neither American plan nor European plan. . . . It is His plan!" As for Claude's plot, two things go wrong: he seduces both Lily and Emma, falling in love with the latter, so he has mixed feelings, plot-wise; and, though the napping is a non-violent success, a deranged Resistance crony re-kidnaps the Americans, forcing Claude to rescue his own kidnap victims. Meanwhile, France is trying to evacuate all tourists, selling them by planeloads to other tourist-hungry nations. Terminal silliness, gratuitous grafitti--like eating a hundred eclairs while listening to a Catskill comic--but a certain glossy audience will eat it all up and lick the plate as well.--Kirkus Reviews

She's rescuing cryptids from bad situations, protecting them from monster-hunters, and generally risking life and limb for the greater good, with her ex-Covenant partner/husband, Dominic, by her side. Her ballroom dance career is behind her...or so she thinks.

When two of her fellow contestants turn up dead, Verity will need every ally she can find--and a couple she wasn't looking for--in order to navigate the complicated steps of both the tango and a murder investigation without blowing her cover. It doesn't help that her official family backup is her grandmother, Alice Price-Healy, who thinks "subtle" is something that happens to other people.Winning this competition may have just become a matter of life and death.

As Mr Cameron predicted, the following years for the UK were a period of incredible stability, growth and common-sense thinking, with very little bad news to report. Mr Miliband was not so lucky.In Chaos With Ed Miliband, we follow the main news stories and issues that have arisen since that election, in stark contrast to the turmoil, hardship, and downright anarchy that has occurred in Ed's life. From returning his overdue books to the library (£1.22 fine, paid in full), to drinking an espresso at 9.39pm at a dinner party to be polite (he was still awake at 2.13am), and visiting three different branches of Waitrose to find the right type of balsamic for his favourite niçoise dressing, I'm sure you'll agree, we can all be very thankful that Mr Cameron helped secure this period of stability and rock-solid government, and that we were all spared from what can only be described as chaos with Ed Miliband...
