Hello darlings! Please, just call
me Marissa. Karen asked me to stop in
and tell you all how things are progressing on her new book. Yes, yes, I know I’m just a character in the
book, and a very minor character at
that. But trust me, there’s nothing minor about me at all! I mean, look at me. I was born to be the life of the party. I was born to spread my wings and fly! You’d think Karen would have written the book
about me. But no, she had to go and
write it about poor little Jillian instead, and in the book she describes me as
acting like an outrageous drag queen.
Well, okay. Perhaps a bit. Perhaps more than a bit. But I mean, a woman in my position has to
grab all the fun she can get! And
darlings, I love to have fun!
And yes, perhaps Jillian does have
an interesting story. Absolutely
unbelievable. I mean, what happened to
her was just awful! But really, I’m just
as interesting as Jillian is, in fact more!
But no. Karen decided to write
about Jillian, and I guess I’m lucky I was even included in the book at all. And I did sooo
much to help poor Jillian out. You’d
think Karen would have given me more credit for everything I did. Oh well.
The story of my life. I have to
make the best of things as I always do.
So anyway, Karen asked me to tell
you that the book is coming along very nicely.
No, it’s not quite ready for her to publish it yet. But she’s getting there with it. Sort of.
I mean, just last night on the way home from work I had to inform her of
a tiny little detail in the book that was absolutely wrong! So now Karen has to
fix it today. You don’t think I’d let
her release a story like that and have anything so obviously wrong would
you? Heaven forbid! But that’s what I do I guess. I help out my friends. And when they come to me for help, I take
care of everything for them.
Oh darlings! I want so badly to tell you so many things
about the book, but stingy Karen says I can’t.
I can’t even tell you the title!
The closest she’ll let me say about it is that the title is VN3…whatever
that’s supposed to mean. Ridiculous! Why can’t she just let me tell you what it is
and be done with it? But not Karen. Just between you and me, I think she seriously
needs her head examined. She won’t even
let me tell you about Sully, mister tall, dark and hunky! And if I can’t tell
you about a man like that, then you know Karen needs some serious help!
Oh!
And I mustn’t forget. For the
first time ever, Karen reached out to the man she had create the cover for the
last book she released as her “real” self (her man side that we won’t talk
about). She had him create a cover for
this book that she absolutely loves.
Personally, for me, I think it’s a little on the dark side, but yes, I
do agree with Karen that it pretty much sets the mood for what the book is
about. And since her cover guy (I wonder
what he looks like) also created a full cover for a printed edition, Karen is
going to try to put together a print version of the book as well.
So unfortunately dears, that’s about
all that Karen will let me say. It’s
soooo disappointing. But do rest assured
that the book is still coming along nicely and Karen does hope to publish it
sometime in the month of August. Maybe
Karen will let me have a little fun before then and tell you more about it
sometime. But if you’re ever in Atlanta,
you can find me several nights a week in the Gladiolas Club. Stop in and see me, and I’ll tell you all the dirt about this book, and about Jillian
and Sully, and even Karen herself!
Bye darlings!
