Amazing Graceby Tara FT SeringISBN: 978 981 261 611 1 Paperpack 183pp November 2008 Price: S$16.50
|
Grace has finally gotten The Ring! From whom she thinks is The One! And she’s thrilled to her toes about it, never mind the fact that Mike-The-One is moving overseas for work, that he hardly has time to talk, that he doesn’t answer her calls, that his emails comprise a serious dearth of words, and that a leggy blonde appears in nearly all his photos ... right?
Determined not to lose Mike, Grace surprises him with a visit and finds herself on a furious chase spanning three countries in a bid to save her unplanned wedding, her unborn children, her heart and her sanity ...
But it will all be worth it, won’t it? After all, The One wouldn’t—no, couldn’t—have found Another One, could he?
READ FIRST CHAPTER OF THE BOOK
Tara FT Sering, 33, has spent most of her life and career immersed in magazines and books. She grew up in Surigao and is currently based in Manila. She was managing editor of Cosmopolitan Philippines and Mabuhay (Philippine Airlines’ inflight magazine). She also was the editor of Summit Books and was also a senior writer with Elle Singapore.
She is currently the managing editor of Contemporary Art Philippines, the only glossy art magazine in the country. She is also the managing director of Southeast Asian Heritage Publishing and just started up a small independent publishing house, Visionaria, which is looking at publishing contemporary women’s fiction. She also writes a column for The Philippine Star.
In 2008, Tara’s short story was awarded second place in the prestigious Don Carlos Palanca Memorial Awards for Literature; her book, Almost Married, was awarded the National Book Award in 2005. Tara has written 3 chick lit books so far: Getting Better, Almost Married and Between Dinner and the Morning After.
A great deal of Tara’s inspiration comes from the experiences of her close-knit family and also her friends, whose adventures are always exciting and hilarious, providing fantastic fodder for her writing. And of course not to mention her own life, that really isn’t a movie but with a little fictional gloss…
