Leslie Carroll – författare

This work is included in round-ups of new fiction in women's magazines eg "Cosmo", "Elle". It is spunky chick-lit. "Spin doctor" is the story of Susan Lederer, a New York City therapist who's developed a bit of a hobby: giving out free advice to the other women who live in her apartment building. Her "office" is the basement laundry room of her building; her hours 7 a.m. until her neighbors run out of problems or their whites are whiter, whichever comes first. Among her pro bono neighbor/clients, there is Faith Nesbit, whose fiftieth wedding anniversary is approaching never mind that her husband has been dead for five years now. Talia Shaw is recovering from a divorce worthy of FOX reality TV. Alice is missing her best friend, her grandmother who recently passed away. Amy is the world's angriest young woman - and all over about ten extra pounds of baby weight she can't take off (and the two sisters who are thinner, prettier, better than her). All these women have in common is a shared laundry room, but what they have to offer each other is endless support, hope, experience, and energy.And as each of them negotiates a crossroads in their lives, they'll need those things more than ever.

A behind-the-scenes look into the life of Meghan Markle and her romance with Prince Harry—a dishy, delightful must-read filled with exclusive insights for anyone obsessed with the Royal Family.Leslie Carroll’s books on royalty are “an irresistible combination of People Magazine and the History Channel.”—Chicago TribuneWhen Prince Harry of Wales took his American girlfriend, Meghan Markle, to have tea with his grandmother the queen, avid royal watchers had a hunch that a royal wedding was not far off. That prediction came true on November 27, 2017, when the gorgeous, glamorous twosome announced their engagement to the world. As they prepare to tie the knot in a stunning ceremony on May 19, 2018, that will be unprecedented in royal history, people are clamoring to know more about the beautiful American who captured Prince Harry’s heart. Born and raised in Los Angeles to a white father of German, English, and Irish descent and an African American mother whose ancestors had been enslaved on a Georgia plantation, Meghan has proudly embraced her biracial heritage. In addition to being a star of the popular television series Suits, she is devoted to her humanitarian work—a passion she shares with Harry. Though Meghan was married once before, Prince Harry is a modern royal, and the Windsors have welcomed her into the tight-knit clan they call “The Firm.” Even a generation ago, it would have been unthinkable, as well as impermissible, for any member of Great Britain’s royal family to consider marrying someone like Meghan. Professional actresses were considered scandalous and barely respectable. And the last time an American divorcee married into the Royal Family, it provoked a constitutional crisis!In American Princess, Leslie Carroll provides context to Harry and Meghan’s romance by leading readers through centuries of Britain’s rule-breaking royal marriages, as well as the love matches that were never permitted to make it to the altar; followed by a never-before-seen glimpse into the little-known life of the woman bringing the Royal Family into the 21st century; and her dazzling, thoroughly modern romance with Prince Harry.
