Welcome to RitaLakin.com!

A Little About Rita:
Fate took Rita from New York to Los Angeles where she was seduced by palm trees and movie studios. The next twenty years she wrote for television and had every possible job from free-lance writer to story editor to staff then finally producing. She worked on shows such as Dr. Kildare, Peyton Place, Mod Squad & Dynasty. She created her own shows: The Rookies, Flamingo Road and Nightingales. She wrote many MOW’s (Movie's of the Week) and mini-series such as Death takes A Holiday, Women In Chains, Strong Medicine & Voices of the Heart. She has also written two original theatrical plays, No Language But a Cry and Saturday Night at Grossinger’s (co-authored) which are still being produced. Her many awards include Writers Guild of America, Mystery Writers of America’s Edgar Allen Poe and the coveted Avery Hopwood Award from the University of Michigan.
She is now back to her first love, writing novels.

Rita lives in Marin County, California.

ATTENTION ALL READERS: CHANGE OF PUBLICATION DATE

THE LAST FIVE GLADDY BOOKS CAME OUT AT THE END OF DECEMBER. NOT THIS TIME.

GETTING OLD IS TRES DANGEREUX WILL BE ON THE SHELVES AS OF JUNE 30, 2010!


It's very exciting. In this book, we have the arrival of a long lost love of Jack's - a gorgeous redhead from Paris - who might very possible destroy Gladdy and Jack's relationship. Will they get married? ...Or not!

BE PATIENT LOYAL READERS. What can you do while waiting? Read all the others over again? (Haha) Or write me letters at RitaLakin@​aol.com. Or write to Bantam Publishing and tell them how you love my books. Or I might tease you all with a chapter of the new book just to whet your appetite. Let me know if you'd like that.

GLADDY AND THE GIRLS SAY HELLO.
