More About the Author

I consider myself the epitome of what it truly means to be a Philly Girl. Love this town and everything about it!

Grew up in the crazy 70's, the youngest of 5, and always found myself challenged by the world around me and so I pushed forward, testing the boundaries and living dangerously.

I managed to excel in the 9 to 5 grind and once I ran out of obstacles to conquer, I founded my own company, Admin Ink. As a result I came face to face with now New York Knicks', Stephon X. Marbury where I later became his personal assistant. Entering into what I refer to as the underbelly of the NBA I birthed the idea for my first novel, Threesome, where seduction, power and basketball collide.

Every Woman's Got a Secret by Brenda L. Thomas takes into the life of Caroline Issacs, the veejay of Top of Da Charts. The producers wanted to do something different with the show to boost ratings, but every idea was as dry as the Las Vegas desert. Along came Mari Colonada, the twenty-one year-old, interviewing to be Caroline's intern for the summer.

Mari pitched the idea that would put the show on the top of the charts, and have the fans lining up to be a part of the show. They were going on the road with Top of Da Charts, starting in Vegas and ending in Philly, the home town of Caroline. She would be there just in time for her father's retirement party.

Caroline, Mari, and the crew from the show, loaded a fully-equipped RV and on the road they went. This road trip allowed Mari and Caroline to get the chance to develop a closer friendship that goes beyond the working relationship. But Caroline noticed there were certain topics that were blown-off by Mari every time she brought it up. Being the person who was able to get much needed information from her guests on the show, she tried all things, but to no avail; Mari never shared.

Every Woman's Got a Secret offers a few twists that are very predictable; sex, and death. However, once the action started the book became a quick read. There were some editing errors, but overall the book was well-written. I recommend this to a reader that likes the fast-life of celebrities with a little mystery tied into it.

I thought this was a really good book. It was well written, and you could really relate to the character, b/c they seemed like everyday people. The book has a really surprising twist, that will probably piss you off, but overall it was great.
