I’m quite sure that
every one of us—at some time or another—has dreamed about what it would be like to have a
more glamorous life. Admit it. You’ve done it. You’ve daydreamed while scrubbing the
toilet, imagining what it would be like to have a house with twelve toilets—and a
cleaning staff to scrub them for you. You’ve watched shows about people like P. Diddy or
J-Lo or Jennifer Aniston, and you wished that you, too, could have a full-time on-call
hair stylist—and that you, too, could afford to vacation in an oceanfront chateau.
Nancy Stern, a Manhattan pre-school teacher with no social life outside
her classroom of purebred socialite kids, is overcome by her imagination when another
Nancy Stern moves into her building. The other Nancy Stern is nothing like her—she’s
tall and blonde and can obviously afford implants. She lives in the penthouse and
interviews celebrities for a living.
Plain-Jane Nancy has no idea how
her life is about to change when she starts getting her more glamorous namesake’s
mail—and phone calls…and roses…and dry cleaning. And it’s hard not to imagine
what it would be like to live a different life. So when a man calls her apartment,
thinking he’s asking Penthouse Nancy out on a blind date, she can’t help but play
along…
Name Dropping is a story of love, murder, jewels, and
mistaken identity. It’s sometimes predictable, sometimes surprising, sometimes a little
corny, and sometimes frustrating (Stop lying to the guy, and just tell him who you
really are!), but it’s entertaining nonetheless. It’ll keep you wondering which
characters to believe—and it’ll give you a warm, fuzzy feeling in the end, like all good
chick lit should. It’s a fun read to pack in your gym bag or your carryon or your beach
bag.
Kristin Dreyer Kramer has been writing in some form or another (usually when she was supposed to be doing something else) since the ripe old age of ten—when she, her cousin, and their two Cabbage Patch Dolls formed the Poo Authors’ Club. After a short career in advertising, Kristin got sick of always saying nice things about stuff that didn’t deserve it—so now she spends her days criticizing things, and she’s much happier for it.
Since creating NightsAndWeekends.com in February of 2002, Kristin has spent her life surrounded by piles and piles of books and movies—so many that her office has become a kind of entertainment obstacle course.
As if her writing and editing responsibilities for N&W.com weren’t enough to keep her out of trouble, Kristin also hosts a number of weekly radio shows: Reel Discovery, Shelf Discovery, and On the Marquee. She’s also a proud member of the Broadcast Film Critics Association (CriticsChoice.com), the Central Ohio Film Critics Association (COFCA.org), the Online Film Critics Society (OFCS.org), and the Women Film Critics Circle (WFCC.Wordpress.com).
Kristin lives in Columbus, Ohio, with her husband, Paul, and their daughter, Anna. She welcomes questions, comments, and fan mail at kdk@nightsandweekends.com.
