| FIVE REASONS NOT TO BUY KAREN’S NEW BOOK, TO SCOTLAND, WITH LOVE, ON AUGUST 21ST!
5) The hero of TO SCOTLAND, WITH LOVE (8/21) is named ‘Gregor MacLean.’ As I once dated a ‘Gregor MacLean’ in high school and he was not hero material and smelled like turnips, I have ‘issues’ with this book and will not buy it.
4) I’m allergic to happy endings, hunky heroes, and women who know what they want and will therefore hate TO SCOTLAND, WITH LOVE (8/21).
You know the floods in Florida last week? That was me. Someone cut me off in traffic, I became angry, and it rained.
And the #1 Reason Not to Buy Karen’s New Book, TO SCOTLAND, WITH LOVE, on release date, August 21st:
1) Laughing (which will happen if I read TO SCOTLAND, WITH LOVE on 8/21) causes laugh lines which, when I’m sleeping, can be mistaken for ‘wrinkles’ and I’ve already used my Botox Allowance for the month.
PRE-ORDER YOUR COPY!
Karen’s friends from thegoddessblogs.com have been scoring high on the New York Times, USA Today, and Publisher Weekly lists … Sabrina Jeffries, Julia London, and Suzanne Enoch have all hit the lists HUGE!
Which, of course, has made Karen happy because they’re all three not only nice, but darned talented, too. However, to be honest, Karen is still a little envious.
Those of you who have one of those annoying ‘perfect’ friends and/or sisters know EXACTLY what Karen’s talkin’ about. You love them, but you still want to beat them.
It’s not likely, but it could happen.
(Don’t let this be me!)
You don’t want to see Karen like this, do you?
Of course not! So join the fight to help Karen Hawkins Avoid Getting Too Thin (Stop laughing – it could happen!) by signing up for her new organization BeMoToWoFOTeL (Beat My Talented Writer Friends On The Lists).
Easy. On August 21st, run out and buy TWO copies of Karen’s book!
The life you save may be hers.
1) I have a new dog! His name is Duke. He’s actually my son’s dog and is ‘on loan,’ but I think we might keep him. He’s the World’s Goofiest Golden Retriever. No, seriously, he holds the title. I know, ‘cause I’ve seen his trophy. (Btw, this isn’t Duke. I don’t have a picture of him yet, but it’s a dog that COULD be Duke, if it was him.)
3) I’m excited about this new series, the MacLean Curse. It’s fun to write about a family with problems wayyy larger than mine, which took some doing, let me tell you.
5) I have a book signing scheduled at the West Gate Mall Books A Million in Brandon, FL (just outside of Tampa) on August 25th. Please stop by so I don’t get lonely and eat my body weight in chocolate scones from the snack bar.

3) Just had my jaw wired shut after a sad incident involving an apple cinnamon Little Debbie snack cake and a very possessive house cat named ‘Mitsy,’ so laughing doesn’t seem like a good idea right now and I know I will laugh if I read 
2) My lawyer says I shouldn’t buy 
If you lost your house . . . sorry.
And if none of these apply to you, then buy 
Which is why YOUR help is needed! It’s quite possible that, without relief, Karen could become sad, and perhaps even clinically depressed. Which means she could stop eating.
2) I’ve been neglecting my hobby, making stained glass, and am just getting back into it. Why? Because I need a creative outlet. That, and I love the smell of burning skin.
4) I took a trip to Istanbul with my sexy boyfriend and we had the most romantic time. If you like bargains, allow me to suggest the 400 year old Grand Bazaar. Those people know how to shop! I don’t, however, recommend you ride in a Turkish taxi without wearing a seatbelt. (shudder!)
