Cool beans.
One of the things I love about Brockmann is her ability to make some of her most unlikeable characters worthy of a happy ending you not only believe in, but you root for as well. It's reader gold. She's so deft at turning the tables. WTMA is Adam's book. He's that cheating dick-headed ex of the incomparable, the perfect, the original BFF-- Jules Cassidy. I can't wait to dive into this book and really get to know Adam.
And not to be juvenile, but there's explicit man sex in this wee book. That's astonishingly brave of Brockmann--or maybe, the time has finally arrived. It's still a very big deal, even if it's a very small book. And only in e. *g*
When Tony Met Adam releases (Ballentine e-Books) this June.
And Tony is from Connecticut. I'm super excited!

In other news-after posting a very interesting photo of himself smoking a hookah in Singapore, as well as a rollicking video of a very flexible belly dancer, G has gone to Tibet--which I totally did not know. I'm still not clear where exactly he is, but there is no internet there! He calls me for five minutes and we try to catch up. He says he's in Shangri-La, but surely that's the thin air talking. Earlier, he hiked with his group (read: stumbled and gasped) at 12,000 feet above sea level. The scenery was divine. They dined on something called crispy (crunchy?) 'intestinal' for breakfast. Maybe he misunderstood. I hope he misunderstood. It sounds like chitlins to me, but what do I know? Last night there was no heat in the hotel and he was given a can of oxygen to suck on as he walked. Or slept. Or ate intestines.
I can't wait to travel more with G. Good times.
Tomorrow night he heads back to Hong Kong where there is internet, heat, and air. Also food with or without 'intestinal'. Which of these items is the most important? I'm going with internet.
Happy Saturday!

Wow, G is a wild man!
And that is very, very cool about Brockmann! Yay!
Found this via my pal Google:
"There is stall upon stall of delicious desserts, tasty sausages, delectable soups and noodles; it's hard not to eat well. I like the slightly fermented pork sausage, sai grop - its name means crispy intestine, but that belies how sumptuous it is, cooked slowly over charcoal."
Jen~Actually--I bet it smells delicious. Haggis smells delicious too.
Thanks Jen. I won't offer you crispy intestine, no matter how sumptuous it is.
Chris~ That's what I love about him--he's fearless.
I'm having trouble commenting on my own blog. Freaking blogger.
Wow, very exciting about the new Suzanne Brockmann book and e-book. I'll be interested in reading Tony and Adam's story.
Good luck to G on his travels. It sounds like he's having quite the set of adventures.
Read the Brockmann the past couple of days. She's amazing. Of course because I don't nuthin' about nuthin' -- disconnected as I am. I did NOT know about Tony & Adam. *making a note*. Very big news.
*waving* hello there, Rosie, where the heck have you been?
LB, this is the second time in years I *don't* participate in SB's virtual signing (several factors there, including no money) so I'll have to make do with the e version only, when it comes out *sigh*
But I completely agree with you on her incredible ability to turn disagreeable characters (MaryLou, looking at you) into people you can, if not root for, at least be happy for when they find their own path and HAE.
DYING to read SB book. Esp after reading the blurb thing.
G, how cool is he :)
