. . .probably written by the author of the book. Here’s how the blurb starts out (read it with a faux “Texas” redneck accent in your mind’s ear, wouldja?):
No matter how hard she tries to escape her Texas roots–and her mother–Jolene Jackson finds herself dragged back to Kickapoo to deal with both. . .
Oh, please. Please, someone, stop me before I “buy” the thing (for $0.00) and read it. “Jolene Jackson” is NOT going to “escape her. . . roots” until she changes her name, publishes “Jolene Jackson’s” obituary and moves above a garage in Buffalo (where Really Leary, Timothy Leary’s brother *cough*–according to George Carlin–taught that our souls go when we die).
*sigh* Too late. Now, I just have to know what “turkey ranch road rage” is. It’s now become essential to my continued sanity, urm, something-or-other–I’d say “Je ne sais quoi” but that just doesn’t go down well with a dose of protest rallies, naked lizard girls in cages, iced tea and a chicken basket.
I do these sorts of things so you don’t have to. Thank me. Thank me very much.
Thank you very much!
@WW: YW. 🙂
Are you trying to give yourself a headache? Anything with a heroine named Jolene Jackson can’t be worth it. Even for free. A free headache is still a headache.
The first three sentences of the book:
You know, this just might not be much more than half bad. . . in a kind of eccentric-Texan(ish)-Stephanie-Plum-ette-sorta thing. But then again, I tired of the predictable soap opera Janet Evanovich made of the Plum stories pretty quickly. 😉 Could this be better? I duno, but I’ll give it 50 pages to try to hold my attention.
