The Women of “Real Women Wear Red” Star in Movie for Fall/Winter Cruise Tour

“Got a little cruising in you?” Hollywood Reporter Troy Westin asks. “Palm trees, balmy weather, Caribbean steel drums, romance under the stars. What does your cruise fantasy look like? Maybe it’s staying out all night playing in the casino, going to a Vegas-style show, playing dress-up for a formal dinner, sleeping late, tropical drinks out by the pool, or meeting Mr. or Miss Right? That’s why they call the original cruise show the "Love Boat" right?”

Kate “Cyn” Francis wants all of that. Over 40 and starting over, she’s looking for her second chance. Her best

friend, Maggie, tells her to dye her hair, change her name and her age and head out on a Caribbean cruise. On a boat full of men, there’s got to be one Mr. Right among them.

20-something Sandy Brown is boarding the cruise ship hoping to mend her broken heart. Divorced and self-conscious, she is also looking for love, hoping that she can find someone to make her feel love again.

There’s also Matriarch Millie Evans. Having sold her publishing empire, Millie is on a succession of one week cruises looking to find her long lost love. A widow after losing her husband, Millie searches for the man she met years ago on a cruise. But first, she must reveal secrets from the past that could shipwreck all of their lives.

Troy Westin and the three women are from the chick lit novel "Real Women Wear Red" by Kathy Holmes.
Reviewers are talking about it, "Kathy Holmes has done the impossible: created a chick lit novel that transcends the genre and, instead, becomes something else all its own” and “But, really, Real Women Wear Red is so much more than sandy beaches and sexy men. The novel is about love, loss and the courage it takes to move on with your life. It’s also about the strength needed to look inside yourself be honest with who you are.” --The Book Pedler.

To celebrate the Fall/Winter cruise season, the women of "Real Women Wear Red" have made a movie and it’s now available on YouTube. Holmes says, “I’m very pleased with the video because, as a cruiser myself, I feel the video featuring the novel can give any potential cruiser an experience of being on a cruise.” For more information about the book and video, go to Kathy Holmes’ web site.
