    Please join Marsha Casper Cook on October 16 at NOON EST 11CST 10MT 9PST when she is joined by authors Nicole Disney and Kimberly Cooper Griffin for a great discussion about love and relationships. . ABOUT THE BOOK EXPOSURE : Jax Bailey has built a successful career photographing famous women, but she’s blocked creatively and frustrated by her inability to hold on to a romantic relationship. Trace Logan is independent to a fault but somehow failed to launch. The daughter of a career army mother, she’s moved around so much she doesn’t have a place she calls home, and she longs to return to school in pursuit of becoming a film editor. Working as a delivery driver, her dream seems impossible. After reading about the gig economy, Jax’s search for a new perspective that can renew her passion, professional and personal, inspires her to break out of her rut by seeing the city through the eyes of a delivery driver. When Trace shows her the ropes, a spark ignites between them. Their differences in age and direction caution them to keep it casual, but what happens when everything they expose just pulls them closer together? http://www.marshacaspercook.com http://michiganavenuemedia.com https://www.boldstrokesbooks.com/books/exposure-by-nicole-disney-and-kimberly-cooper-griffin-4555-b
