Heh. So – I know this Author – C.E.Murphy, who I went to high school with, and who is hitting it big with Luna books and the Harlequin Bombshell line – really big! I couldn’t be prouder to say “hey – I went to school with her!” and of course am totally jealous of her success too. *L* Comes with the territory as I try to get enough mojo together to go through my own future break-out novel and edit once again before beginning the submission process all over again. But! proud! naturally!<\/p>\n
So anyway – I sent her the following email last night:<\/p>\n
Ok – so my sister had gotten me a gift card a while back and I hadn’t used it for anything so when Thunderbird Falls came out – and I finally remembered I still had said gift card – and I also remembered where I’d PUT said gift card – I went “aHA!” as I am known to do and rushed right to amazon to get it.<\/p>\n
And get it i did! Yesterday! and I’ve been reading it, but taking a very much longer time then I usually do…<\/p>\n
…not because it isn’t as riviting as the first – it is! I want to know what happens next!<\/p>\n
…but, because you are an EVIL EVIL EVIL WOMAN!<\/p>\n
Couldn’t you have WARNED ME ABOUT ALL THE DAMN SNAKES? OMFG! I’m so freakin phobic it ain’t funny and they’re on EVERY FUCKING PAGE! ok – not really, but they’re there! slithering! just under the last page I read and the way that next one is undulating I have a feeling that I ain’t finished squickin out yet… THERE’S BOUND TO BE MORE!<\/p>\n
GAH! woman! You’re gonna KEEL ME!<\/p>\n
*sobs all dramatically and shit*<\/p>\n
Seriously! a little warning next time? please? *pleads with puppydog eyes and EVERYTHING!*<\/p>\n
Off I go to read more – do you KNOW how hard it is to read while covering your eyes and peeking through fingers and being TOTALLY AND COMPLETELY SQUICKED OUT???<\/p>\n
YES! it is exactly *THAT* hard!<\/p>\n
harumph.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Which brought a reply that included laughter, and a promise that there are *no* snakes in the next book. And then! THIS!!<\/p>\n
Now I’m going to have to sneak a snake into one of the later books just to make you go AAAGH!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
*GASP!* See! I *told* you she was EVIL! Harumph. Never has the pups latest obsessively sung song seemed more appropriate… (damn the commercial that gets this stuck in her head, since I end up listening to it over and over and over and over and over and over…)<\/p>\n

Regardless of the snakes - i finished the book this morning and will be passing it on to Nana Moosie - and if you haven't yet, I demand you go forth RIGHT NOW and buy the available first two books of the Walker Papers - Urban Shawman and Thunderbird Falls. Fastpaced, enjoyable, and a *very* likable heroine as well as the supporting cast, with many AUGH! moments and just a lotta good stuff!<\/p>\nGO! BUY! NOW! You won't be sorry you did! (waiting my copies of the first two books of her other series too - I'll letcha know what I think of them as well.) (Yes, she has already published an inSANEly amount of books in the past year, with more in the works.. WHERE IS MY MOJO? *L* I neeeeeeeeed my mojo!)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
