Best Selling Books by Pamela Redmond

Intertwines the stories of three women of 20th-century New York City, and the ways in which their choices can affect loved ones for years to come.

From the author of the hit novel-turned-TV show Younger comes The Man I Should Have Married, an irreverent second-chance at love story for thirtysomethings. Goodbye downward dog... When Kennedy’s husband, Frank, up and leaves her for his high school ex, a surfer named Sunny, then announces he’s going to quit the law firm to teach yoga, Kennedy is finally free to do what she’s always wanted to do with her life. Now if she can only figure out what that is. Determined to bring the spirit and independence of her former self to her life as a suburban mom, Kennedy visits some of her old New York City haunts, including Declan McGlynn’s—the Greenwich Village bar where she used to work. Lo, Declan himself is behind the bar—and he''s just as sexy...and single...as ever. Hello downtown Don Juan... Kennedy and Declan were friends for years and lovers for one amazing night before Kennedy, a single mom at the time, picked stability over passion. Back then Declan wasn’t exactly the marrying kind. But that was a long time ago, and a lot has changed—except for the connection between these two. It’s enough to prove that whoever said “you can never go back” is flat-out wrong. Right?

In the sequel to the beloved Younger—now a hit Netflix series from the creator of Sex and the City starring Sutton Foster and Hilary Duff—Liza Miller is torn between two cities and two hearts when her bestselling novel is picked up by a major television network. New York or Los Angeles? Romance or commitment? Younger…or older? Liza Miller never dreamed that anyone would be interested in her life, let alone buy a book about it. But everything changes when, on the eve of her fiftieth birthday, she publishes a thinly veiled novel about a woman posing as a millennial called Younger—which her old friend Kelsey wants to turn into a TV show. Liza is off to Los Angeles to help Kelsey write the pilot. But that means leaving behind her on-again off-again boyfriend Josh, her pregnant daughter, and her best friend Maggie. Can Liza find happiness in her new adventure if it means leaving everyone she loves? Yet as Liza is swept up in the heady world of Hollywood, she finds herself thinking less and less of her life back home in New York. And when she meets Hugo Fielding—the devastatingly handsome and incredibly flirtatious Brit playing her boss on the show—she toes the line between having a crush and falling in love. Torn between New York and Los Angeles, a familiar love and a risky one, an established career and a shot at stardom, Liza must decide if it’s too late to go to the ball...and if she even wants to. From the author of the beloved Younger, this is an endearing, hilarious, and relatable tale of second chances and new beginnings that proves: the best thing about getting Older is that you finally get to be yourself.

From the acclaimed author of Younger and Babes in Captivity, a funny and moving novel about friendship, fame, and the fight for one suburb''s future! Greetings from New Jersey Stella Powers is an A-list movie star who has just landed an Oscar-worthy role and a hot new rock-star husband when her mother''s death brings her world tumbling down. Floundering as her life becomes one tabloid horror after another, Stella finds herself stuck in the New Jersey suburb she fled twenty years ago. But Homewood is no longer the sleepy town she remembers: housing prices are skyrocketing and glitzy new stores -- and people -- are moving in. To Stella and her young daughter, this is good news. Wish you weren''t here. The bad news: Stella''s childhood best friend, Mary Jean, who married Stella''s old boyfriend and raised four kids in Homewood, can no longer afford to live there. Mary Jean is determined to wrest back the town but needs Stella on her side. The stakes for both women are high, but how can these old friends reconnect after so much time has passed? Or more importantly, how can they not?

America’s thirst for all things model related will be quenched with this juicy novel about a young Wisconsin girl who is discovered during a graduation trip to New York City, by the author of the hit novel-turned TV show Younger. The Reasons Amanda''s Graduation Trip to New York City is About to Change Her Life Forever: 1. Back home in Eagle River, Wisconsin, you don''t see many Hideously Ugly Hooker Shoes. 2. Here in Manhattan, you might just be walking down the street and get offered a top modeling contract -- on your very first day! 3. Her girlfriend Desi knows all the hippest vintage clothing stores -- and where to buy a Marc Jacobs knock-off bag for $20. 4. Cannoli, cappuccino, tapas, knishes, gnocchi, chimichangas, samosas, and several hundred other unpronounceable but thoroughly delicious foods you can only eat when you''re six feet tall. 5. Her sweetheart of a boyfriend, Tom, secretly promises they''ll get married as soon as she comes home -- but she''s suddenly not sure when that will be. 6. She discovers that her mom (who owns Patty''s House O'' Pies in Eagle River) knows how to speak French -- and isn''t saying where she learned how. 7. She finds out that the man she thought was her dad isn''t her dad.... With the skewering eye and sharp humor of The Devil Wears Prada, Pamela Satran''s wonderful Midwest-girl-in-the-Big-City novel is a delightful fairy-tale tour of Manhattan''s modeling world -- and a poignant adventure of self-discovery.

Now a hit Netflix series from the creator of Sex and the City starring Sutton Foster and Hilary Duff—a story of inspiration and transformation for every woman who’s tried to change her life by changing herself. She wants to start a new life. Alice is trying to return to her career in publishing after raising her only child. But the workplace is less than welcoming to a forty-something mom whose resume is covered with fifteen years of dust. If Alice were younger, she knows, she’d get hired in a New York minute. So, if age is just a number, why not become younger? Or at least fake it. With help from her artist friend Maggie, Alice transforms herself into a faux millennial and soon finds an assistant’s job, a twenty-something bff, and a hot young boyfriend, Josh, who was in diapers when Alice was in high school. You’re only as young as you feel. Alice is too thrilled with her new relationship and career to worry about the fallout from her lie. But when Maggie decides she wants a baby, Alice’s daughter comes home early from studying abroad, and Alice finds herself falling in love with Josh, she realizes her masquerade has serious consequences, especially for her. Can Alice turn the magic into her real life? Or will the truth come out and break the spell?

Featuring advice, wisdom, and observations from an array of prominent and beloved women, 30 Things Every Woman Should Have and Should Know by the Time She''s 30 is an essential guide (and perfect gift) for women on the brink of thirty--and for those who are already there! Fifteen years ago, Glamour published a list of distinctive yet universally true must-haves and must-knows for women on the cusp of and beyond the age of thirty titled, "30 Things Every Woman Should Have and Should Know by the Time She''s 30." It became a phenomenon. Originally penned by Glamour columnist Pamela Redmond Satran, The List found a second life when women began to forward it to one another online, millions of times. It became a viral sensation, misattributed to everyone from Maya Angelou to Hillary Clinton--but there''s only one original list, and it stands the test of time. Quirky and profound, The List defines the absolute must-haves (#11: "A set of screwdrivers, a cordless drill, and a black lace bra") and must-knows (#1: "How to fall in love without losing yourself") for grown-up female happiness. Now, Glamour magazine has gathered together its editors and an incredible group of notable women to expand on each of the items on The List in wise, thoughtful, and intimate essays. Kathy Griffin meditates on knowing when to try harder and when to walk away. Lisa Ling explores the idea that your childhood may not have been perfect, but it''s over, and Lauren Conrad shares what she has learned about what she would and wouldn''t do for money or love. Other personal insights come from Maya Angelou, Rachel Zoe, Taylor Swift, Katie Couric, Portia de Rossi, Kelly Corrigan, ZZ Packer, Bobbi Brown, Padma Lakshmi, Angie Harmon, and many more. Along with essays based on The List, writers share their feelings about what the milestone of turning thirty meant to them. 30 Things Every Woman Should Have and Should Know by the Time She''s 30 is the one book women of all ages will turn to for timely and timeless wisdom.

They''ve satisfied their biological clocks. They met six years ago in a mom''s group. Deirdre, Juliette, Anne, and Lisa are each living The Dream in the suburbs outside of New York City: beautiful wedding, big house, picture perfect family. What more could a woman want? Plenty, though none of them has ever admitted it. Out loud, anyway. It all starts with Deirdre....When she learns that her ex-lover, musician Nick Ruby, has moved back East, she confides in her girlfriends that she regrets her lost singing career, and her lost love affair with Nick. And since there doesn''t seem to be a "what''s next" in her life, she''s more than a little curious about "what if...?" So what''s that ticking sound? Deirdre''s confession -- and her plan to revive her dreams and make them reality -- has a startling ripple effect. It turns out none of the four is as happy as she seems: Anne fears her marriage is in jeopardy. Juliette desperately wants to have another baby but can''t. And Lisa''s facing decisions that her life -- literally -- depends on. The doors swing wide when these babes start breaking out...but at what price? There''s no satisfaction guarantee for any one of them, but taking chances together sure beats going it alone.

Out with the old, in with the new, and on with the party! Maybe it''s just another midnight...or maybe there really is magic in the air when December 31st becomes January 1st, and confetti kisses and champagne toasts kick off a new year, a new romance, a new look, a new attitude. Celebrate the start of something new with In One Year and Out the Other...a sparkling collection of all new stories by today''s rising fiction stars: Cara Lockwood puts self-improvement to the test with 528 resolutions -- not least of which is "Do not sleep with married men" -- in "Resolved: A New Year''s Resolution List"...Pamela Redmond Satran instructs a single mom in the fine art of partying like the boys (have lots of sex, don''t worry that you''re too fat) in "How to Start the New Year Like a Guy"...Diane Stingley shows a twentysomething why there''s more to life than waiting by the phone for a New Year''s date in "Expecting a Call"...Megan McAndrew seizes the day -- or just a very special one-night stand -- for a single food stylist hungering for more in "The Future of Sex"...and more great tales from Kathleen O''Reilly, Beth Kendrick, Eileen Rendahl, Tracy McArdle and Libby Street.

A guide to baby names and their meanings draws on research from a variety of sources.

Dogs now dominate the $48 billion a year pet business, with nearly 40 percent of American households owning a total of 77.5 million dogs. Dog products, dog services, dog admiration - okay, let''s call it dog worship - has become totally over the top. If you have a dog-obsessed friend or relative, you''ve seen the phenomenon. Or maybe you''re a dog owner and lover, and have found yourself buying, doing, craving, needing dog-related items (doggie treadmills, dog swimming pools, caffeine-free doggie java) and services (doggie massage, dog perfume, aromatherapy, hair coloring, and yes, doggie tattoos) that would have seemed outlandish a generation ago when applied to your everyday household Rover. But Rover isn''t called Rover anymore, he''s called Rufus. Or Lola, according to the Tumblog Hipster Puppies. In fact, all Top Ten Dog Names are people names. And the canine Rufus doesn''t stay home alone all day; he goes to Doggie Daycare. Eats brightly-frosted martini-shaped doggie treats. Wears designer tutus. Gets married on the beach. Has... Well, you''ll see. Rabid is a catalog of how over-the-top our dog obsession had become. It''s a book aimed not only at dog skeptics but at dog lovers and the people who love them. Funny, fun, yet holding a mirror up to our dog-centered society, Rabid will help us laugh at our own behavior and at the even-more-insane antics of all those other dog people. And it will give some solace to the 60 percent of us who''ve so far evaded America''s dog mania. Photos throughout.

Cool marches on, so it''s time for a fresh new look at the latest trends, including: • Little Caesars: Led by celebrities (from Daniel Baldwin''s Atticus to Julia Roberts''s Phinnaeus), Latinate boys'' names are hot, hot, hot • Scarlet Ladies: Sexy siren names, from Lola and Scarlett to biblical bad girls Salome and Delilah • Hollywood Squared: Golden Age silver-screen glamour is in, from Ava to Gable, as in Clark • Thunderbolts: Brisk and bold one-syllable boys'' names like Colt, Cade, Trent, and Stone • Vowel Names: As in Addison, Ella, Oliver, and Olivia.

How Not to Act Old gives you simple ways to come back from over the hill and to act as young as you look. Covering everything from old-people entertainment (cancel that dinner party!) to old-people communication (it''s called a "voice mail," not a "message," and no one leaves or listens to them anyway), Pamela Redmond Satran decodes the behaviors, viewpoints, and cultural touchstones that separate you from the hip young person you wish you still were. This irreverent guide is essential for anyone who doesn''t want to embarrass their kids—or themselves.

A guide to the best unusual baby names by the creators of Nameberry.

From the bestselling arbiters of hip baby names ("The Wall Street Journal") comes an all-new guide with the hottest trends and freshest advice.

Say you want to give your baby and Irish name-either because you of Irish descent or because you simply like the sound of Sinead or Finnega. But where do you find an Irish name? Sprinkled throughout most naming dictionaries are names that seem to be Irish, but it''s difficult to tell: A name that one book calls Irish might be called Scottish in another, or simply Celtic. And it''s even harder to find Irish names beyond the usual Kevin and Kathleen and Kelly. Instead of a handful of Irish names within a universal name book, this book offers a universe of Irish names from which to choose. Using the same innovative structure that made its parent, Beyond Jennifer & Jason, the reigning authority on baby names-and written with just as much flair and wit-Beyond Shannon & Sean provides the most comprehensive guide to Irish names ever published in America: From Annie to Aine, from Seamus to James-the most popular names in Ireland today, and why there are no Irish girls named Erin or Colleen. From Murphy Brown to the hills of Donegal-melodious place names and family names, and why no one (not even an O''Kane) ever uses Gofraidh. From Finn MacCool to Sinead O''Connor-names inspired by Irish legends and literature, and real people who have made their names famous. Plus a much-needed guide book to obscure Celtic pronunciations, and more...

The authors of Beyond Jennifer & Jason, the bestseller that revolutionized baby naming, offer the last word on the perfect first name. Hope is hot, Hortense is not-- at last, here''s what parents really need to know before naming a baby. For years you knew what to expect from a baby-name book: a long, dull list of names with their dictionary definitions. All that changed with Beyond Jennifer & Jason-- the groundbreaking book on styles and trends in baby names that has been called "the best baby-naming book ever written" (The News Journal). Now Rosenkrantz and Satran return with an all-new baby-name guide that is destined to become a classic. Like other books, it''s packed with entries on girls'' and boys'' names from A to Z, but no one else gives you the inside story on names: why the world has all the Ashleys it needs, why everyone loves Emily, and why you should or should not call your son Ishmael. Drawing on sources as diverse as ancient myths, current TV series, the Bible, and world literature, The Last Word on First Names is a readable, witty, and illuminating guide to the real-world meaning of Miranda, Max, and thousands of other names from Abigail to Zelig. No one should name a baby without this book.

A book of Irish names for people who think an Irish name would be neat for their baby.

Una guía esencial para las mujeres al borde de los treinta. Hace quince años, la revista Glamour publicó una lista de cosas universalmente necesarias titulada "Las 30 cosas que toda mujer debe tener y saber antes de los 30". Esa lista se convirtió en un fenómeno. Originalmente escrita por la columnista de Glamour Pamela Redmond Satran, La Lista encontró su segundo aire cuando las mujeres empezaron a enviarla a sus amigas y conocidas por correo electrónico. Se convirtió en una sensación viral que erróneamente se le atribuyó a mujeres como Maya Angelou y Hillary Clinton, pero sólo existe una lista original que ha sobrevivido el paso del tiempo. Poco convencional y a la vez profunda, La Lista define los must-haves absolutos (#11: "Un juego de herramientas, un taladro inalámbrico y un brassier de encaje negro") y must-knows (#1: "Cómo enamorarte sin perder la cabeza") para la felicidad adulta. En este libro, la famosa lista tiene una nueva vida con ensayos de algunas de nuestras mujeres favoritas, desde Portia de Rossi hasta Taylor Swift. Algunas lecciones que encontrarás: «Hacer las paces con mi pasado fue el primer paso; agradecer todo lo que pasé fue el segundo.» Lisa Ling, periodista y conductora «La habilidad de aceptar y adaptase con dignidad a los giros que da la vida es una de las fortalezas más importantes que debes aprender. ¿Debes planear las cosas que quieres? Absolutamente. Pero si no salen exactamente como visualizaste, no te cortes las venas.» Katie Couric, conductora del programa de televisión Today de la cadena NBC. «Me daba muchísima ansiedad cumplir treinta... ¡pero hay buenas noticias desde el tercer piso! No se te cae la cara de vergüenza.» Angie Harmon, modelo y actriz No importa tu edad, esta es la lista de tu vida.
