Check out my interview:
<p style="margin:0px 0px 14px;padding:0px;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;"><strong>"A somber, disturbing mystery fused with a scathing look at the fashion industry. </strong><strong>Mangin writes in a confident, razor-edged style."</strong><strong> - Kirkus Reviews</strong></p><p style="margin:-4px 0px 14px;padding:0px;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;"><strong>Condom dresses and space helmets have debuted on fashion runways.</strong></p><p style="margin:-4px 0px 14px;padding:0px;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;">A dead body becomes the trend when a coat made of human skin saunters down fashion's biggest stage. The body is identified as Annabelle Leigh, the teenager who famously disappeared over a decade ago from her boyfriend's New York City mansion.</p><p style="margin:-4px 0px 14px;padding:0px;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;">This new evidence casts suspicion back on the former boyfriend, Cecil LeClaire. Now a monk, he is forced to return to his dark and absurd childhood home to clear his name. He teams up with Ava Germaine, a renegade ex-model. And together, they investigate the depraved and lawless modeling industry behind Cecil's family fortune.</p><p style="margin:-4px 0px 14px;padding:0px;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;">They find erotic canes, pet rats living in crystal castles, and dresses made of crushed butterfly wings. But Cecil finds more truth in the luxury goods than in the people themselves. Everyone he meets seems to be wearing a person-suit. Terrified of showing their true selves, the glitterati put on flamboyant public personas to make money and friends. Can Cecil find truth in a world built on lies?</p><p style="margin:-4px 0px 0px;padding:0px;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;"><strong>In high fashion modeling, selling bodies is organized crime.</strong></p>
I have been in the childcare profession for over 35 years. Within that time I observed many laps in judgment, negligence and observation. This gave me the idea to write The Perfect Solution.

Being a caregiver for many years as well as a Director of a daycare, I would highly recommend this book as a required reader for a training class in Child Development. Using it to create make believe situations to train potential caregivers to see what could be done to stop things like that from happening. I don't think the general public realizes the impending dangers that lurk around day cares from desperate people who are not allowed to see their child(ren) or people who are desperate to have their own child(ren) such as in the book. This book is definitely a "Wake Up Call" to parents and caregivers who have to rely on any Child Care Center.”</em> <span class="swsprite">5.0 out of 5 stars</span> <strong>Concerned Caregiver</strong>,<strong><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/pdp/profile/A2J42OIQ5NS76M/ref=cm_cr_pr_pdp">Donna</a><span class="MsoHyperlink"> Guilbeau</span></strong> (Beaumont, Texas USA)<em> </em></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-indent:0in;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-indent:0in;"><em>“I totally enjoyed this serious but tasteful book. Nancy Wade wrote her book based on her 20 plus years in child care and most parents will appreciate her candid insight concerning their children well being in even the best established day care centers. From the very first word until the last; I found myself reading the book and mentally visualizing what was going on just like I was at a movie. She carefully described every setting and explained how all the characters would have a role in the final outcome. The book was very well written and easily read. I believe this was purposefully done. A lot of authors love throwing out big words and confuse their audience. Nancy must have realized that most people like to read but hate having to pull out a dictionary to understand what is going on. In conclusion; the author wrote a great book and one that should be on the best sellers list.” <span style="font-style:normal;">Ernest Johnson</span> (Maryland)</em> </div><div class="MsoNormal"><em>“Ms.Wade, your book help my interest from page 2 and I couldn't put the book down until I read the very last page.

Keep writing more books and let me know when your next book is publish.”<span style="font-style:normal;"></span><strong><span style="font-style:normal;">The Perfect Solution</span></strong><span style="font-style:normal;">,<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/pdp/profile/A2J42OIQ5NS76M/ref=cm_cr_pr_pdp"> <strong>E.Jones</strong></a> (Texas)</span></em></div><div class="MsoNormal"><em><span style="font-style:normal;"></span><a href="http://www.blogger.com/page-edit.g?blogID=3776092475443762591&pageID=5663742637349211119"></a></em></div><em></em><br /><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><em><strong>The Perfect Solution (Kindle Edition)<span style="font-weight:normal;"> 4.0 out of 5 stars </span>The Perfect Solution -Isn't!<span style="font-weight:normal;">, February 8, 2011 <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/pdp/profile/A6VYWFI3VC8VI/ref=cm_cr_pr_pdp"><strong>PatriciaHardy "patticake 545"</strong></a> (New Orleans,LA USA) - </span><a href="http://www.blogger.com/page-edit.g?blogID=3776092475443762591&pageID=5663742637349211119"></a></strong></em></div><em> <span style="font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;font-size:12pt;">The story dealing with the abduction of a pre-K student from a day care center shows the necessity for more stringent safety measures to be applied to all day care centers.
