The secret life of a Bunco Babe

As most of you know, I have two regular Critique Partners–Maria Geraci and Louisa Edwards. We actually call ourselves MeanBitches and we work together year around on plotting, critiquing and general hand holding as necessary.

This is a busy week for both Maria and LuLu because their books are due on Monday. In full. So right now, I’m reading Maria’s follow up manuscript to BUNCO BABES TELL ALL (Berkley, May 2009) PRE-ORDER IT NOW!

The follow-up is currently titled BUNCO BABES GONE WILD and let me tell you, it is a hoot! What a great story to follow BBTA! I’m laughing at the antics of these Bunco Babes…and you will too….

PRE-ORDER IT NOW!

Next up is LuLu’s sexy chef book titled CAN’T STAND THE HEAT (St. Martins, Fall 2009) This is a HOT and TASTY treat. I can’t wait to dive back into the world of Adam and Miranda and see what sexy shenanigans they’ve been up to since page 100.

Once I’m finished reading this weekend, it’s back to writing for me…AJ is up to some fang-banging business with a new character named Lex…or Sexy Lexy as I liked to call him. He’s a tasty treat all on his own…

Don’t forget to Pre-order BUNCO BABES TELL ALL

PRE-ORDER IT NOW!

I’m a busy girl today

I’m blogging over at The Knight Agency blog today about Vampires and how it’s ironic that I write YA Vampire stories when the one book that freaked me out more than anything was about vampires…

And Dana and I are into day three of our training at Fat Chicks Running. Pop over and see how we’re doing.

In the writing world, I’m actually doing some reading. Both Maria and Louisa have Nov. 1 deadlines, so I’m going to be busy this weekend reading their manuscripts. Then it’s back to writing, writing, writing. I guess it’s a good thing that the only thing that doesn’t really hurt on my body is my fingers, huh?

and now the REAL hammer story

Maria is so cute. She posted her hammer story because I threatened to do it for her. Go read it. But don’t forget to come back, because I’m going to tell you what really happened.

So one day last week, Maria calls me.

Maria: (in an excited whisper) Mel!
Me: What?
Maria: Dave Hernandez is in my house!!!! (yes, she used 4 exclamation points in her whisper)
Me: (confused because Dave Hernandez is a fictional character in her current manuscript BUNCO BABES GONE WILD) Um…his name is Dave Hernandez?
Maria: No. He looks like Dave Hernandez! He’s so damn cute! He’s probably only 24. Hang on, I’m going to go check on him. (muffles the phone. Muffled question. Muffled giggling.) I’m back (breathless)
Mel: Are you panting?
Maria: No. Am I? He’s so damn cute!

Then we talk about writing for a few minutes and other stuff and we hang up. Fifteen minutes later.

Maria: (in an excited whisper) Mel!
Me: Yeeees?
Maria: I think he knows I’m watching.
Me: Probably. You should totally ask him if you can take a picture or sneak a picture of him. I’m dying to see the man who can make Maria Geraci pant.
Maria: I’m not going to take a picture of him!
Me: I would. But whatever.

Then we talk about writing for a few minutes and other stuff and we hang up. A little while later.

Maria: Oh my god!
Mel: What???
Maria: They had me come into that bathroom to inspect their work.
Mel: Was the work good?
Maria: Dave Hernandez stood in the doorway and made me squeeze past him. I totally rubbed up against his hammer! I think he did it on purpose!
Mel: You have to blog this.
Maria: What am I going to say? I rubbed up on Dave Hernandez’s hammer?
Mel: Exactly. If you don’t blog it, I will.

The end.

Aw Naw! I’ve been hi-jacked!!!

Mr. Mel has hi-jacked this blog for a moment. Shut up and have a good time.

Now, if any of you have ever had the pleasure of meeting Mrs. Geraci, then you’d know exactly why I whisked the phone away from mama and proceeded to bogart time with MG.

And yes, the loverly Maria G. has been a sounding board for some of Santa’s gifts this Xmas.

And yes, it’s gives mama the red ass to be kept out of the “circle of trust” and given the silent treatment.

If you email me with a convincing argument, I may be compelled to add you to the “circle of trust” and fill you in on the details of her Xmas giftage.

But you couldn’t divulge. There’s too much fun to be had in not divulging!!!

Can ya hear her squirm all the way over there? Can ya?

Music to my ears…

Fishdog – out!

Mrs. Robinson…???

Everyone knows how much I love Maria Geraci. I mean, I practically worship at the altar of Maria. But, I’m beginning to wonder if this was a smart move.

What? say you…

Well, Maria Geraci called me 10 minutes ago. She’s still on the phone, as a matter of fact…but NOT with me…. Nope, she’s talking to Mr. Mel.

What is wrong with this picture? See they are getting together to try to torment me. Apparently, Maria Geraci has been helping Mr. Mel with my Christmas present. And now, they can both tease me with their silence.

They do know how I’m haunted by the quiet. Especially from these two. They are NEVER quiet. Ever.

They are still talking. Should I be worried?

He has always had a thing for older women…
