I won the cover lottery...again!
This cover is smokin' hot!
I'm so lucky, rabbits come limping up to me all the time, like, "Psst, lady, can I rub up against you? They jacked my karma when they cut off my foot. I can't get a break lately."
I'm so lucky, people ask me to pick their lottery numbers. I'm so lucky, if I got hit by a car, David Beckham would be driving it. I'm so lucky, priests ask me to help them bless their rosaries.
I'm so lucky...
...because April Martinez did this cover too. Woohoo!
Your Alibi is coming in July from Liquid Silver Books. As we get closer to time, I'll put up excerpts.
PS - Here's a story that just cracked me up.
LONDON (Reuters) - An 81-year-old British grandmother branded by a judge as "the original neighbor from hell" had her jail term cut Wednesday but lost a bid for freedom because she wouldn't apologize for her actions.
Dorothy Evans, a widow from Wales, was jailed two weeks ago for harassment and breaching an Anti-Social Behavior Order after repeatedly shouting at her neighbors and hitting them with her walking stick.
Hah! Talk about an unrepentant criminal...
And that's it for Odd Friday. Have a great weekend, ya'll.

Oh and Danette, I made my kids read that article as an object lesson:
LOOK, you really CAN go to jail for bad behavior. Seriously!!
Now I'll scare them into submission by threatening to send them...
...to the UK!!
Totally will get you somewhere. :)
Glad you like the cover, Jac. I hope you'll like YA too. It's a bit different than Guide, though it has a similar tone (hot / funny with touches of bittersweet).
go to jail for bad behavior? uh-oh.
you haven't seen me!
Hugs, Danette
And how screwed up about the old ladies. Somehow or another child molesters are running free on the streets and the judges are locking up crotchedy old ladies. Now that's modern justice for you!
Glad you guys like the cover as much as I do. I love the skin tones.
You know, my readers are all soft-hearted. I didn't automatically think, "Oh that poor old lady" when I read that. I thought, Daaaaaaamn, how mean must that old bitch have been to make them actually enforce the "Anti-Social Behavior Order". Plus I think it's funny they put her in jail to make her apologize for her actions and she refuses. In the full story, she got attacked by another prisoner because she's such a cantankerous old bird. I can't help but hope I'm full of that much piss and vinegar when I get old. If I ever turn into one of those ladies who just wants to talk about her gall bladder, I hope someone hits me in the head with a rock.
