The Last Will of Moira Leahy by Therese Walsh

A few months ago I was introduced to Therese Walsh through Twitter (@ThereseWalsh) who was getting ready for the release of her debut novel about identical twin sisters called The Last Will of Moira Leahy.  I emailed her, introduced Double Up Books as the “only bookstore specializing in all books twins related,” and told her that as soon as the book gets published (October 13, 2009) that we would stock it immediately.  I also asked her if she would be interested in giving Double Up Books an exclusive interview about writing about twins as characters which she eagerly agreed to.

I’m not a fan of generic interviews where it’s clear that the interviewer knows nothing about the interviewee (or doesn’t really even seem to care) so I like to take the time to first read the book and come up with thoughtful interview questions that add value to the book buying process.  I’m pleased to say that I finished the book last week and presented Therese with seven interview questions which she has since answered for us.  You can read Therese’s interesting interview here in our Double Up Books Author Interview area on our website.

The Last Will of Moira Leahy is a mesmerizing tale about identical twin sisters, the lives they share, and the bonds that tie them together forever.  Spanning from Maine, New York, and Rome, the novel is part family drama, suspense, and mystery with a little bit of the mystical and romance thrown it.  It is a classic and classy novel, the way they should be written, and a true pleasure to read.

Author Marc Weissbluth, M.D. is no stranger to children’s sleep patterns and programs.  He is also the author of the bestselling book Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child.  To say that I’m excited for his new book is an understatement.  I am a huge fan of Dr. Weissbluth’s earlier book and was lucky enough to have read it well before my twins came along.  I still reference it whenever a sleep issue with my twins pop up.

Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Twins is currently available as a pre-order.  We will start shipping copies when published on June 9, 2009.  Order yours today and get some happy twins!
