		<description><![CDATA[Thanks to Andrea Miller for a wonderful review in the June 2010 edition of M Food &#038; Culture. &#8220;Maier writes an intriguing and mysterious page-turner full of deceit, murder, trickery and scandal while coupling it with accounts of love, drama, humor and romance all intertwined to leave you wanting more&#8230; The formal, yet relaxed style [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I keep working on my ‘elevator speech’ for when people ask, “What’s the book about?” Orange Terrace is a fictional thriller about Sam, a straw man who tries to buy a row of old houses on Orange Terrace to expand the hospital.  The combative owners include an old guy with a mortally bad back, a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The characters and events in Orange Terrace are completely fictional, but I tried to use as many real places as possible.  The houses exist (see previous blog post), though I took a bit of liberty in how they sit together in a row.  I believe, but don&#8217;t know for sure, that developers have tried to [...]]]></description>
