We had a wonderful turnout for the signing, and I didn't make a fool of myself when I spoke. Folks actually laughed at my jokes. Yay! <br /><br />But just to set the record straight--I drive a very sensible silver Highlander. The hot car belongs to my honey. He has ALWAYS driven a convertible.. . no mid-life crisis for my guy! That photo is of me dropping him off at the airport in Memphis.Lisa Turnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13766681005411383482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27662400.post-61114630517776441762010-07-15T20:09:58.691-05:002010-07-15T20:09:58.691-05:00GREAT cover Lisa and congrats on the debut!!

Great cover!<br /><br />It's hard sometimes to stay in good girl mode when I just want to slap someone down for being an idiot (I think I may have had a Big Sister/Control Freak chip permanently installed in my brain when I was very young). That's my most recent brushing up against the good girl incident.<br /><br />Good luck with your release!<br /><br />cories119[at]yahoo.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27662400.post-77524026469287914302010-07-15T16:50:57.623-05:002010-07-15T16:50:57.623-05:00Oh, and I LOVE that you found that blouse. heheheOh, and I LOVE that you found that blouse. heheheHelen Brennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08680081195181747377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27662400.post-55844551515397725062010-07-15T16:50:40.295-05:002010-07-15T16:50:40.295-05:00A martini? lol I'm such a lightweight.A martini? lol I'm such a lightweight.Helen Brennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08680081195181747377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27662400.post-47999751119648269102010-07-15T13:35:02.290-05:002010-07-15T13:35:02.290-05:00Helen:

Jack Kerouac and Peter Dexter's Paris Trout sharpen my inner eye.

I bought it in a shop I mentioned in the book. Seemed appropriate. It's such a dead on match, I almost passed it by, but it's so comfy and hides all my figure flaws, so hey. . . you can't beat that with a stick. <br /><br />Mz. Debra Dixon is responsible for the amazing cover. She can do ANYTHING!

And congrats on the new book and on shedding the "good girl" skin. . . and assuming a bigger, more productive one. I too, had to do that. . . and it was publishing that took me down that road. I still have a problem getting too weird or nasty, but I do write humor and historicals and romance, so that's not too far a stretch.<br /><br />And I love that shot of you in the red Beemer. . . great choice of car to be seen in now and then! WE all need our wild days and to let the air blow through our hair now and then.

LOL You look good!<br /><br />This is so true - the good girl trap getting in the way of writing.
