Debut Women's Suspense Thriller NOW AVAILABLE everywhere books are sold
Pink Slips Earned a 5-Star Review
“Not since Rosemary’s Baby has a book revealed how vulnerable women are when pregnant… Aldrich has Raymond Chandler’s (The Lady in the Lake), gift for portraying violent scenes, but has a woman’s insight into the especially serious consequences it could have for pregnant women.” “Beth Aldrich’s Pink Slips is a psychological thriller that sustains a sense of mystery throughout, told from the point of view of pregnant suburban chef Betsy Ryan. The first-person perspective helps build suspense and heightens the action through the story’s many twists and turns.” Ask David Review Pink Slips Click Here
A taut yet expansive mystery thriller, Pink Slips introduces a powerful new literary voice to a genre steeped in mediocrity. It’s a genre which continues to evolve and there is a definite feeling of reinvention which Aldrich has certainly leveraged to deliver a top-notch narrative. Suspenseful with the kind of razor edge prose which should be mandatory for a mystery thriller it’s a novel that’s dependent upon the reversal of expectations with Aldrich introducing sublime twists that are sure to keep her readers on tenterhooks throughout. Yes, much-favored tropes are evident but she never relies on them whilst a cleverly constructed plot comfortably manages to stay ahead of her readers at all times. Describing it in detail would ruin a cracking denouement that packs a powerful punch, but suffice to say there is more than enough here to keep the most demanding of genre fans turning its pages. It would, however, be disingenuous not to explore character development which is something Aldrich naturally excels at. Grounded with real world personas they are not only vividly rendered but provide genuine insight into Betsy Ryan’s life and intensely articulate the chilling sense of vulnerability that envelopes her as events unfold.*Top notch storytelling and an exceptional fiction debut, Pink Slips proves a must read and one that raises high expectation for future releases from Aldrich. It is recommended without reservation. |

About Beth
|
Ever since I was in high school I had the dream of writing a book. Like many of us, I have a few books in my head that have been traveling the world with me, keeping me entertained--in my own mind--for years. Many of these ideas surfaced during the time when I produced my PBS TV series, For Her Information. The stories also played out on the pages of my magazine, FHI, offering women inspiration, ideas, and solutions to improve their lives and the world around them. My accompanying magazine website (FHI) was awarded the Stevie Women in Business Award for best website.
Following a serious car accident in 2007, I was forced to quit filming my TV series and shift gears; I went back to school and received a Certification of Health Counseling from Columbia University and the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in New York City. As a health counselor I helped individuals and corporations find health and balance through healthy food and lifestyle coaching. |
After working with clients on health living programs, I started working on my first non-fiction book, Real Moms Love to Eat (Penguin/NAL, 2012) (RMLTE), with friend and co-author, Eve Adamson. Together we brought you an award-winning and Amazon Bestselling non-fiction book, sharing ways to get back into that love affair with food to make us look fabulous (and feel great). The 21-day food plan included, gives readers the opportunity to engage in lots of great recipes, saving the lettuce-only food plans for the rabbits.
After my poor little RMLTE site was hacked, losing all of the wonderful articles, food reviews, and product evaluations, I shed a few tears, bucked up, and started from scratch. Now, blogging at from my personal author site (here), I plan to share engaging articles, tips, and stories based on topics that I write about or find interesting.
I was thrilled to raise plenty of sponsorship funds to support a national book tour to share my non-fiction book with mom bloggers and women across the country. I appeared on many national and local news outlets sharing the book, it's recipes, and mission. We received wonderful reviews and print media, giving RMLTE a real presence in the world of healthy eating books.
Now the next chapter of my writing has begun with my latest project, PINK SLIPS, a Women's Suspense Thriller novel, published in June, 2017. I think you'll fall in love with and root for Betsy Ryan as she navigates life in a north shore suburb of Chicago. She's a private chef who's pregnant with her third child, trying to save her crumbling marriage while running from a threat too hard to comprehend. I am also working on and researching manuscripts for a special women's fiction (cozy) about an unlikely character that ends up being an angel --due out at Christmastime, and a women's suspense novel based on one woman's mysterious discoveries in her junk drawer, years after the disappearance of her daughter. I promise 2017 is going to be a big year where I look forward to entertaining your mind and bringing you along on my fictional adventures.
When I'm not spending time with my family, I enjoy delivering engaging lifestyle and healthy living fundamentals through keynote addresses, lectures, classes, and as a media spokesperson. I write about lifestyle, health and nutrition topics on popular websites including, Diet.com, SocialMoms.com, HotMomsClub.com, and 30Seconds.com.
I am an active board member and President of the University of Chicago Cancer Research Foundation Auxiliary Board, helping raise much-needed funds for cancer research.
I'm blessed with the love of my husband, three sons, and extended family and friends. My two Tibetan Terriers, Karma and Bonsai, keep me company while I plunk away on my laptop, enjoying the view from my kitchen window. Please follow me on Twitter or Facebook, or send me a note via my contact form below.
Thank you for your kind support and I hope to hear from you sometime soon.
