Willow Pond by Carol Tibaldi
The Roaring Twenties crumble into the Great Depression. Bootlegging is flourishing. Virginia Kingsley, New York’s most successful speakeasy owner, is queen of that castle.
Rudy Strauss wants to help with her business. Virginia, wisely suspicious, refuses. He shifts his trademark toothpicks to the other side of his mouth and asks about her niece, Laura, and Laura’s nineteen-month-old son, Todd. Virginia warns him off, but Rudy is intrigued.
Laura is movie star beautiful but it is her ex-husband, Phillip, who is an actor. Laura, a writer, is devastated when Todd’s nanny calls, hysterical, saying Laura’s son has been kidnapped.
Willow Pond is available at Amazon in print or Kindle editions and at Barnes and Noble. You can learn more about Carol and her writing at her website and her blog. You can also find her on Facebook and follow her on Twitter.

Carol…your book sounds interesting and I will definitely put it on my wish list. I appreciate the research side of writing and have been doing the same thing to assure that my memory of people, places, and things are true. Best of luck on "The Willow Pond".
Bud, Thanks for the comment and the compliment. It's a good thing I like doing research because Willow Pond required lots of it. Good luck with all your endeavors.
