GRAVY

My first novel started with a mole. Yes, a MOLE - a freckle, a birthmark, whatever you want to call it.
I was at the pool with my daughter getting ignored by our swim instructor when a lifeguard with a particularly ripped abdomen walked by. He stopped to flirt with one of the female lifeguards and my eyes flew directly to an adorable mole on the top can of his six-pack.
"How cute!" I thought (among other things). "He looks like a character in a romance novel!"
So I went home and started writing fiction for the first time. That was over a year ago and I still haven't been able to stop. GRAVY is the story of a suburban housewife who wants another baby, but gets a man with a mole instead.
GRAVY is now available on Kindle and Nook!

Lost

We just watched this week's episode and even though there are much more important things in my world right now, I just have to get this off my chest.

How has Hurley managed to gain so much damn weight!?!?

As someone who once weighed over 300 pounds and often WISHED to be stranded on a deserted island so I could finally lose a damn pound or three, IT BUGS ME. The Wikipedia entry claims it's 75 pounds. No one could actually GAIN weight in that situation - even if they discovered a stock pile of candy bars and peanut butter. It's just not possible given the amount of increased physical activity one would get even walking as far into the jungle as you'd need to just to take a crap!

My guess is that without fast food and the addition of even a modicum of daily exercise, a real-life stranded obese person would lose no less than a pound a day, which means Hurley should be down, what, close to a hundred pounds (IE NOTICEABLY thinner).

On an unrelated, but also Lost note, no woman would ever refuse Sawyer his afternoon delight, mix tape or not. Am I right ladies?

You are correct on every point. Afternoon delight did make me giggle though.

LOL....one of the hazzards of taping a show in the Hawaiian islands, I guess.

Most definitely. Heck I'd never want leave the island of hot men. Honestly I think I'd become an island slut. Oh my!

It possibly has something to do with the island though! Like how Walt growing up really quickly has something to do with the island. Oh who am I kidding, I'm sure the weight thing is a mistake, but must be hard to lose weight like that. Although I swear I'd lose weight if it would get me on Lost!
