A young communications professor attempts to make that happen in \"The War Council.\"\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e After the love of her life leaves her for a job on the other side of the world, Professor Maggie McGrew is devastated. To Maggie, his leaving-and not taking her with him-was just not logical. \u003cbr\u003e Instead of merely mourning the breakup, Maggie pours herself into the study of love. She comes up with the concept of a paramilitary-style relationship counseling service that she calls \"The War Council,\" because, as they say, all is fair in love and war. Maggie then enlists her friends and colleagues-from fellow professors to a university psychologist and the rugby coach-to serve in a variety of roles on the council. \u003cbr\u003e Maggie's best friend Kathy (the psychologist) hates everything about the War Council but reluctantly agrees to be a member. Kathy also wants to help Maggie get over the boyfriend that left so she uses some of Maggie's own concepts to set her up with a new beau. When Maggie discovers the truth about the new man in her life and Kathy's role in bringing them together and the ex-boyfriend suddenly returns, she learns that love is anything but logical. \u003cbr\u003e In this humorous look at love-the first in the University Chronicles series-each of the main characters tells their version of the events that surround the creation of the War Council and the effect it had on their lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn her 20+ years as a writer and editor, Ann Shepphird has covered everything from travel and sports to gardening and food to architecture and design for a variety of publications. She has also put her skills to work writing ad copy for California-based animal rescue groups. Now Ann is tackling her favorite genres-rom-coms and cozy mysteries-which is especially appropriate as her first love in life was spending Saturday afternoons reading Nancy Drew mysteries. The rom-coms are part of the University Chronicles series, which are based on Ann's days as a college-level communications instructor, while the Destination Murder mysteries combine her experiences as a travel journalist with her brief stint working for a private investigator (a job she got because of her love of Sue Grafton novels). Ann lives in Santa Monica, California, with her long-time partner, Jeff, and their furry companions Melody and Winnie. When she's not writing, Ann is most likely to be found on a tennis court or in her garden. \u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 276\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.62 x 8 x 5.25 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 01, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43156598390847,"sku":"9781644502587","price":25.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/44OVEWFjxD9781644502587.webp?v=1776973584","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/the-war-council-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
