So last night I got a phone call from one of my brothers. Here’s how it went.
Him: “Cindy (his wife) wants to know if you have anymore porn–I mean romance novels she could buy?”
Me: “No, just that one for now. Has she read my book yet?”
Him: “I think so, here I’ll let you talk to her.”
Cindy: “Hey. You are a dirty girl.”
Me: “Thank you. Did you read it?”
Cindy: “Yeah, it was good. You’re a dirty girl.”
Me: “You didn’t let my brother read it did you?”
Cindy: “Umm, he read a few parts.”
Me: “Oh. What did he think?”
Cindy: “He’s a little upset with you. He says you have talent, but you write too many love scenes.”
I’m not really sure why I felt the need to blog this, but it really amused me last night. Probably because I don’t really like to imagine my brother reading the sex scenes in my book! Of course he does have this friend, and if the friend were to read it, then that wouldn’t be so bad…. hee hee! :)
So Lacy and I took the kids to the Seattle Science Center today. Good times. Emma has a cold now though. I feel bad, I hope she didn’t give it to Lacy’s kids. I didn’t realize it until we got home and she got really fussy, and green crap started oozing from the nostrils.
Well, I’ve been realizing I don’t get as much traffic to my blog on weekends. So I won’t put up the real crazy photos yet. Although this one is kind of fun. Hee hee. Supposedly this was from an Ebay auction. You gotta look at it real closely. 
That guys such an ass. He did that with like a million different type reflective surfaces. Ebay actually barred him from posting at their site anymore.
Still funny as hell though. LOL. *snort*
I wonder if that guy knows he’s not turning anybody on with that?
That’s a really funny conversation with your family. I guess that’s a major rite of passage for romance writers. I’m glad I don’t have brothers!
How funny, hope your sis-in-law somehow “passes along” the story :-)
Yeah, I think it was a good call on ebay’s part to ban the man. He’s definately not doing anything to improve the appearance of the merchandise!
ROFL! Yeah, that’s a great picture. (And I can totally see *snicker* why eBay banned him.)
I’ve seen this pic before - I had no idea he was doing this w/ multiple items. What a freak! And he’s gross!
I’ve been thinking of those types of conversations since I sold. My brother is coming to visit today and I want to tell him I sold but I don’t want him to read it. He’ll die - I’ll die! And he’s just a baby (well he’s almost 25 and a brand new father so he knows about that stuff but still!!!). He’s a baby to ME - baby bro doesn’t need to read that! lolol
*lol* Brothers don’t like to think their sisters have a sex life or know about sex. It’s so amusing.
Great! First a picture of a dead guy. Then a picture of two pussies. Now a picture of some dude in a thong.
They let anyone have a blog these days. Jeesh.
(Actually, don’t tell Bookwhore, but I kind of liked the pussies.)
LOL! I dont look forward to my relatives ever reading one of my book :)
Shelli, I have three brothers. I’ve told them “I’m doing well”, and left it at that. The three sales are SO not worth the hassles that would come with it :)
No comment on kettle dude. Though I can’t see his spout, which tells me something ;)
I say unto your bro: pfffft! Your book was awesome, you do have mad talent, now gimme some more dirty lovin’
That picture is some shit! And please forgive BB, we can’t take her anywhere.
IMO brothers are strange creatures. My brother read my first EC book while he was on a plane flying from NZ to US. I didn’t even know he’d bought it. He went home and said to my sister-in-law, do you know what she wrote? I got the whole story second hand from my sister. LOL
I don’t think he’s purchased another one, but he always asks me how my writing is going whenever I see him. He’s actually pretty supportive :)
Ick, some people are weird! I wonder how long it took him to think up the idea.
