[Ski Diva]

When I fantasize about a career I can do from home,so I can live close to the skiing, writing crosses my mind. Now I have a role model. Nice work indeed.

Hey, it's a tough job, but someone has to do it!!!

Thanks for all the congratulations, guys. I just got the typeset pages to review today, so it's seeming a bit more real.

Hope you all enjoy the book!

I'm pretty excited. It's about a young woman who ditches her cheating fiance and moves to a Vermont ski town, where she encounters financial intrigue, bitter family warfare, and murder. And oh, yes, she skis a lot, too.

Here's the first line:

“When Stacey Curtis found the dead man in the bed, she knew it was time to get her own apartment.”

And here's the cover:

Thanks, but honestly, I wouldn't call it "trashy."

And yeah, selling it to Lifetime and getting rich sounds good to me!

But while we're on the subject, this is a good spot to say that film rights have sold for my husband's novel, FINN, so maybe we'll get something on the screen, one way or another.

Thanks, but honestly, I wouldn't call it "trashy."

Sorry I was thinking it was in the Danielle Steele line of books with a skiing twist.

Please tell me that there's a murder by 'pushing a newbie down a bump field'. :-D

 

[Ski Diva]

S'okay. That's not my style. And just so there's no confusion, this is a book that anyone would like -- not just women -- and good for skiers and non-skiers, alike.

LOL! That'd be great, but no. However, there is a chain saw involved. 'Nuff said.

Why would anyone ski with a chainsaw? That sounds dangerous. :-D

 

[billski]

Good luck Diva. I hope you sell out of your first printing!

I've been encouraged to do books, and I always have declined - too much work and too little reward. Bravo to you for slugging it out and living in infamy (in the stacks!)

 

[bigbog]

You've certainly got a few more vices to work with now skidiva[/i]....economy, corrupt ski area mgmnt, Phil and GSS joining the Taliban...LOL. Lots of luck with book #1.

If you ski with people who use twin tips and kick up that big rooster tail, you might be tempted. A SawzAll works better.

The Taliban doing mind control of GSS. Have him take over the Ski Sundown base lodge along with his Match.com date who is actually a Talaban agent. A Pulp Fiction-esque dialog.

GSS's Match.com date: "I love you, Pumpkin."
GSS: "I love you, Honey Bunny."
GSS's Match.com date: "All right, everybody be cool, this is a robbery!"
GSS: "Any of you fxxxing pricks move, and I'll execute every motherfxxxing last one of ya!"

GSS grabs Greg's demo bump skis. Greg comes out of the mens room with his .44 magnum.

Greg: "Normally, both your asses would be dead as fxxxing fried chicken, but you happen to pull this sxxt while I'm in a transitional period so I don't wanna kill you, I wanna help you. But I can't give you these bump skis, they don't belong to me. Besides, I've already been through too much sxxt this morning over these bump skis to hand them over to your dumb ass."

 

[Ski Diva]

Wow, that is so not my book. This one or the next.
