Praise for ANNIE BEGINS: "Rarely have I encountered a debut novel that manages to pack so much heart into so much pure entertainment. By turns hilarious and poignant-and always compulsively readable-this novel was impossible to put down. The characters were so vividly drawn that ANNIE BEGINS felt less like reading a novel and more like spending time with people I already knew and loved. Do yourself a favor and pick this one up!" -Gwen Cooper, New York Times bestselling author of Homer's Odyssey and Diary of a South Beach Party Girl"Beautiful, moving, sweetly seductive."-Alethea Black, author of I Knew You'd Be Lovely"ANNIE BEGINS is not only a delicious, fast-paced comedy, but a deeply moving exploration of life's constantly shifting kaleidoscope of emotions and events, in particular the different mechanisms, or avoidance strategies, for coping with loneliness and loss as well as the myriad ways we find love and connection, even in the most unexpected of places." -Sophie Powell, author of The Mushroom Man"Readers will root for sweet, relatable Annie as she struggles to learn how to push work aside in favor of searching for her "good match." When she trusts an unlikely matchmaker, her brave little cousin with challenges of her own, ANNIE BEGINS becomes a story as much about the meaning of family as it is about finding true love." --Lynne Griffin, author of Life Without Summer and Sea Escape"A winning debut-a moving and engaging novel that will have you rooting for Annie from page one." -Jennifer Sturman, author of the Rachel Benjamin and Delia Truesdale series

Well worth your time and money!"Meg Magruder*****"It's been a while since I've read an action adventure novel, and it was especially enjoyable to fall into a story like SAND, which from beginning to end moves along at a steady clip.Lili Tufel is a talented author who has clearly done a thorough job of researching her story, assuring that changing scenes and foreign settings are well described and believable, effectively drawing readers into the rhelms of non-stop action.The main characters are engaging and likable from their first appearance, and readers will find themselves rooting for the dual heroes throughout. There are some true surprises here, several plot points that when cracked wide open, reveal character nuances both startling and unexpected.There are very few quiet moments in SAND, as this is a book where the plot moves quickly and a reader needs to keep on their toes. Not all characters are who they seem, and motivations are not always what we might surmise at first glance."Barbara Forte Abate, author of The Secret of Lies*****"Great read.
