Year: 2007

  • Coming soon to a store near you …

    This week, I started contacting local bookstores and libraries about doing some book signings for Karma Girl. When I get the dates and locations, I’ll post them here and on the Appearances page.

    Stay tuned for more …

  • Brilliant! Just brilliant!

    Watched the latest episode of My Name is Earl last night.

    Best. Episode. Ever!

    The whole episode featured the residents of Camden County on the show COPS, back when Earl was still married to Joy and a petty thief. But the best parts were all the in-jokes. Last night on Earl, we got to see just about every person he’s helped or hurt, from the one-legged girl to the one-eyed mailman to Nancy the hooker. Kenny was also on the show, along with the cop Earl helped turn into a professional bowler.

    I love it when a series does all the wink-wink stuff for the fans. I try to do that in my Bigtime books — just throw out little references or turns of phrases from previous books.  

    What about you? What nods do you like to see in your favorite book, movie, or TV series? Inquiring minds want to know …

    Happy New Year! 🙂

    I started things off right today by finishing a book, Flirting with Danger by Suzanne Enoch. 52 more to go for the year …

    It’s about Samantha Jellicoe, a professional thief who gets more than she bargained for when she breaks into the mansion of sexy millionaire Richard Addison. Sam is suspected of murder, and she and Addison strike a deal — he’ll help clear her name, and she won’t steal anything from him — except maybe his heart …

    If you like heist movies with a lot of romance like To Catch A Thief, you’ll like this book. Sam and Richard are equally matched in everything — brains, beauty, razor-sharp wits. And the heist scenes were interesting without dwelling too much on gadgetry, which is always a plus. (I hate authors like Tom Clancy who focus on every single detail of a weapon, etc.)

    The only thing I wished were a tiny bit different was Richard. He really bullied Sam at times throughout the book and almost thought of her as another piece of his art collection. A little too alpha male for me, but he redeemed himself in the end by … well, I won’t spoil it for you.

    Overall, thumbs-up.

    And when I read the author bio, I had another reason to smile. It turns out that Suzanne once submitted a script for The A-Team, one of my favorite shows ever. So nice to read about another fan. I pity the fools who don’t watch that show … 😉
