First Thursdays is a collaborative work consisting of five short stories. The collection is a menagerie of interests and styles, tied together with a common theme of strong female protagonists who prove to be much more than they seem. Within its pages you will find Alfred Hitchcock meets Agatha Christie for a cold case; Stephanie Plum joins Debbie Macomber in a Hallmark movie; and Nanny McPhee rides the Polar Express.
