NEW RELEASE


Good-bye To All That - Margo Candela (2010)

Raquel is an executive assistant at the Belmore, a large media corporation. She has slaved away at her job and is close to being promoted to junior marketing executive when her boss suddenly suffers a nervous breakdown and takes an extended vacation. Raquel is left under the constant scrutiny of her interim boss. She tries desperately to keep her life and career goals on track as her hysterical and highly dysfunctional family creates complete chaos in her life. To further complicate her situation, Raquel starts sleeping with Kyle, the sexy new vice-president at Belmore. This is a funny story about a strong woman who sometimes makes very foolish mistakes but manages to keep her humour and spirit intact. (AO)



The latest release, Good-bye to All That, from Margo Candela has been tagged: "Working Girl meets Mad Men with a dash of Entourage thrown in." The summary says: "Raquel Azorian, 25, has spent the last three years working her way up from temp receptionist to full-time administrative assistant and is this close to getting her long-deserved promotion to junior marketing executive at Belmore Corporation, the media behemoth she's devoted herself to. After proving she has what it takes in a contentious department meeting, Raquel is sure she'll get her promotion. Instead, her boss suffers a very public meltdown, putting not only his future at Belmore, but also Raquel's future on the line. Work life is a mess. Home life isn't much better. Raquel's mother has decided to leave her father and move in with her. Now she spends her days boozing on Rachel's couch and eating all her food. Her older brother is dealing with his own marital problems, her sister-in-law, Cricket, won't leave her alone, and Raquel is forced to be the family's intermediary. Two men seem poised to change all this, however. Raquel begins sleeping with Belmore vice-president Kyle Martin, and discovers the very marketable hunk, Rory Tilley, from the little-known film Fire House Hero. Raquel hopes that her relationship with Kyle and the unearthing of Rory will put her back on the fast-track to corporate stardom, but the clash of her personal and professional lives pushes her to the breaking point, and starting over may be the only way out." Good-bye to All That is out in July.
