Bobbie Faye's Very (very, very, very) Bad Day

About Me

I don't mean for things to blow up or catch on fire; it happens. Hell, it happens a lot. And it sure as hell isn't my idea of fun to go scrambling across a swamp, chased by the FBI, the state police (who happens to be a freakishly pissed-off ex-boyfriend), and I really really didn't mean to take a hostage. (Okay he was damned sexy, and that was at least a good thing... until I realzed he was a mercenary. Yeah, my luck was holding.)
It was a bad day. Seriously. Bad.
And then there's this woman, this Toni McGee Causey who wrote about the whole thing and sold that book (plus two more about me) to St. Martin's Press. (That's her over there in the photo. She said we're going to put the book cover up as soon as she has it. She's bossier than me.) Anyway, she called the book Bobbie Faye's Very (very, very, very) Bad Day,. I mean, you think? There were bears people. Okay, just one, but it was chasing my ass, so you can imagine my joy.
Anyway, the book comes out in May, so I guess that means she's going to be following me around, waiting for me to blow something else up, which is not my fault, people. And now they're making me do a Bobbie Faye's Very Bad Advice Column to help pay off some of the debt for the things I blew up. That's up now -- check out the blog.
Okay, she's now made a video trailer for the book. Here's teh short one:
And here's the longer one (funnier):
And you can go here to pre-order.
Oh -- and now she's even got blurbs from best-selling writers and starred reviews over on her regular site , so now she's going to be all encouraged to keep doing this. Geez, I am never going to be rid of this woman.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Anyone interested in advice, reading, books, thrillers, comedies, action-adventure, capers, the south, and Cajuns.

Music:

I have very eclectic tastes, from rock/blues to alternative to country (the newer stuff) to some hip hop.

Movies:

Love 'em. When I'm not the reason the local theater burned down. Seriously, not my fault. I cannot help it if Roy, my idiotic brother, decided to click on his lighter to see his watch dial (yes, the movie was that slow) and then caught my popcorn bag on fire... without telling me. And waited to see if I'd notice. So when it fell, and caught the trash on the floor on fire, and I was stamping on it, trying to put it out, and my jeans caught on fire, and then I had to bang my leg against the seat and those seats? Very flammable. Just so you know. Whole thing went up in seconds. Roy didn't have eyebrows for a month. Served him right.

Television:

When my TV works, which isn't often, I like shows like Veronica Mars and Grey's Anatomy. That new show, Studio60 looks good. Chaotic. I can relate.

Books:

Love thrillers and mysteries. And anything that can make me laugh.

Heroes:

Not so much. I would have said Cam, my ex-boyfriend, until he went and arrested my sister for a DUI and put her in a forced rehab center, which meant I had to hoc damned near everything to try to pay for it. And of course, we broke up, though he keeps giving me this, "What are you mad at?" look, like a boyfriend arresting a sister is an everyday occurrence and should be forgiven. (Of course, this is the south, so he may not be far off from wrong.) Still. Not so much in the hero department now.

Okay, look.  I owe people money for things I've sort of accidentally blown up (see my profile) and really, I can only work so many hours a day. The newspaper editor in my town said if I'd do an a...
