PWOC would like to shed some "light" on Tamara Gregory author of Passport Diaries.

Tamara T. Gregory is a writer/producer/traveler and happily single (who knew there was such a thing in LA).  Her debut novel, PASSPORT DIARIES is an LA Times bestseller and is soon to become a Hollywood motion picture.  For weekly doses of her musings about male/female dynamics log onto www.urbanthoughtcollective.com and check out her X…whY blogs.

 

About her book...

Kia Carson, an LA D.A. with beauty, brains, taste and style is about to turn 35.  There's just one problem with her picture perfect life-there's no eligible man in sight.  Thank God she has her career...at least until she gets suspended from her job.  To regain her sense of purpose, she plans a trip to Europe-all by herself. 

 

In this fresh and funny, LA TIMES bestseller, Kia embarks on what becomes a defining journey to London, Paris, and Greece, where she finds a little bit of trouble, a whole lot of laughs, and the one thing she didn't even know she was looking for-herself.

 Nickie says:
Reading Tamara Gregory's novel was a chance for me to take a much needed mental vacation.  I was instantly drawn into the novel by the author's writing style.  Tamara provides readers with comedy as well as a road map to self-discovery.  In the story, Kia embarks upon a journey that all women should have the pleasure of taking.  In the novel you witness Kia go new places, meet new people and try new things that she'd normally never do.  With each new experience I felt a rush.  I was excited for her as she freed herself and enjoyed life to its fullest.  The ending was very fresh and pleasing.  You too will be satisfied with the beginning, ending and all the great pages in between.
