Carol White

My books are contemporary fiction. In chronological order: Hidden Choices, From One Place to Another, Sitting Pretty, A Divided Duty, and my latest is a collection of inspirational short stories titled Coffee Breaks. These books have won a total of eight awards. My novel, A Divided Duty, is loosely based on Shakespeare's play, Othello, but you don't have to be a scholar to enjoy this tale of love, sex, jealousy, greed, brothers and business. Sitting Pretty is comprised of twenty short stories plus a bonus novella. From One Place to Another takes you to the fancy country clubs of Boca Raton, complete with a cheating husband, a new career for the wife he left, "mean girls" and catering escapades. The readers' guide addresses a few serious issues as well as some fun stuff. Hidden Choices makes a perfect Book Club selection - just don't read the epilogue before you make your choice! Reach me at polowhite@aol.com PLEASE NOTE: One reviewer for From One Place to Another gave the book a 1* review because she didn't realize what a MALAPROPISM is: the mistaken use of a word in place of a similar-sounding one, often with unintentionally amusing effect, as in, for example, “dance a flamingo ” (instead of flamenco ). I used them for comedic effect...as in a "corollary" for coronary. People are entitled to not like my writing, but they shouldn't be entitled to give a 1* review because they didn't understand the malaprop. Oh well!
