Sookie Stackhouse and The Bloggess

"These two are in no way related" you're probably thinking.  You are wrong!  They are two characters I love.  "The Bloggess is real!" you may be screaming.  Jenny Lawson is real and quite a character.

The Sookie Stackhouse novels are written by Charlaine Harris.  Let's Pretend This Never Happened is written by Jenny Lawson.  I have read all of the Sookies, except for the newest, which I will purchase and have signed when I meet Ms. Harris tomorrow night!!!!  She's coming here to Salem College for a discussion and book signing.  My friend Christi and I bought tickets yesterday.  I took off work a month ago in preparation.  I am thinking of putting on my best Sookie look.  Should I go that way or just as my fabulous self?  I might embarrass Christi in costume.

Jenny, I am patiently waiting for you to add a nearby city to your tour.  I would dress up like Juanita or James Garfield, or Copernicus for you.  I'd bring you my own private stash of Xanax or Klonopin.  I can't take those anymore and I never throw anything away.  I am always Johnny-on-the-spot with ability to throw together fantastic nachos just for you.

So, tomorrow night I get to meet one of my favorite modern authors.  If I had a , I'd go back and badger Whitman, Hardy and Chaucer for drinks and convos. 


What should I ask Charlaine Harris?  I want to know which of the characters is her alter ego.  I want to know if there are other supes that will appear in later books.  Other thoughts?

Jenny, what will it take to garner a meeting with you?  I'm not getting my Sookie   taxidermied in custom made clothing.  

*Names Have Been Changed

I had a man tell me once he was concerned I'd write a tell-all.  I promised him I'd change his name and make him a high-ranking public official.  I think I'm going to take a stab, no pun intended, at fiction.  I think all fiction is at least partially based in reality.  Two of my favorite authors are Patricia Cornwell and Lee Child.  Look at his jacket photo....Jack Reacher IS Lee Child!  (except Reacher doesn't smoke and that bothers me about the pic, Lee).  I'm pretty sure Kay's niece, Lucy is actually Cornwell. 

I don't want to write a secret autobiography.  I will lay all my stuff out there when I write my own story.  I think I want to try bits and pieces.  So, every day there's going to be something.  I don't know what shape this is going to take.  It might even be a new blog at some point.  If you're interested, subscribe so you don't miss anything.  If you like how I write, please click the share buttons and toss me out to your FB, Twitter and Google friends.  Hey, if you don't like me, toss me out there and let the piranhas feed on me.  See you on the flip side!
