Spotlight: Climbing in Heels

We've been hearing a lot of great buzz about Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas's debut novel, Climbing in Heels. People Magazine says it's "The Devil Wears Prada meets Sex and the City". We're excited that it's out in the world and look forward to reading it soon. 

It's the story of friendship, betrayal, survival, standing up when they pass you by, and saying I won't go when they want you gone. And it's also a story about how some of those women became very much like the monsters who trained them.

Meet Beanie Rosen, the fast-talking and even faster-thinking Valley girl who knows where she wants to go, and doesn’t care if she doesn’t look the part.

Mercedes Baxter, who learned early on how to leverage the monied friends of her monied friends' parents until she found a foothold in Hollywood.

And Ella Gaddy, a sexy free-spirit anti-debutante from a white-glove Kentucky home who shakes up any room she walks into.

Read Climbing in Heels and watch these women meet, meld, fight, strategize and climb their way into your heart.

A rollicking tale of sex, drugs, and power – in heels. (Synopsis courtesy of Amazon.)
