An Ivy Invitation – Ladies who Lunch: Anchored with Brigitte Quinn at the Cornell Club
Join members and guests for a luncheon and lecture with Television and Radio News Anchor, Brigitte Quinn. Quinn has worked in broadcasting for more than thirty years, and was a television anchor at the Fox News Channel, MSNBC and NBC. She holds a BS from Cornell University and an MFA in writing from Sarah Lawrence College. Quinn lives in Connecticut with her husband and three children, and is currently anchoring mornings at 1010 WINS radio in New York City.
Quinn’s first novel, Anchored, follows Barbara King in her dream to become the next Barbara Walters. But for now, she’s anchoring at the fledgling Phoenix news channel, covering car chases and interviewing drunken showbiz has-beens. If she can just out-fox the conniving anchors at her cable channel and move up to its prime-time line-up, she’ll be able to fly the coop and ascend to a real news network.
Enter Jack Stone, Barbara’s dynamic, witty—and did she mention sexy?—new co-anchor. Soon they find themselves finishing each other’s sentences, discovering all they have in common and, ultimately, attempting to ignore how wildly attracted they are to each other. Meanwhile, on the set, under television’s bright lights, they sit just inches apart, their chemistry even apparent to the quirky cast of characters in the gossiping newsroom.
Will Barbara give in to her attraction to Jack and betray her husband, Ben, her sweet-souled moral compass? When a life-altering news event propels the Phoenix to the #1 news channel in the nation, will Barbara sell her soul to become a prime time star? How do you stay true to yourself when you’re being seduced by stardom—and your co-star?
Copies of Anchored will be available for purchase.
