Debut Author Enjoys Dual Release

Two new chick lit books by one author hit bookshelves just weeks apart.

(PRWEB) March 3, 2005 -- Newly minted author Susan DiPlacido is enjoying the rush of excitement as her first novel, Trattoria, hits bookstores this week.  Before that exhilaration wears off, her second novel, 24/7, will be released the following week.  "It's been busy and stressful getting them both prepared for release," DiPlacido said in a recent interview.  "But the payoff is well worth it." 

Her first book, Trattoria, from Mundania Press, is a sexy, romantic chick lit.  When a family of siblings hires the new waiter at their restaurant to date the youngest sister, a comedy of errors unfolds.  The novel is currently available for pre-order at Amazon and Barnes and Noble online.  

Her second novel, 24/7 from Zumaya Publications is an edgier, darker book set in Sin City.  "Vegas is a place that brings out the extreme in people, so it's an ideal setting for a novel," the author explained.  In 24/7, a female card counter falls for a casino blackjack dealer.  But as the love and action heat up, it's not clear who's getting played.  The book will be available for pre-order within the next couple of weeks online and in stores.  "It's a more glamorous, but also by turns a grittier book," DiPlacido said. 

Complete information about both novels can be found on the author's website: www.susandiplacido.com.
