June Week 2
GO KNICKS!
Sex on Murder Island, the sequel to Murder on Sex Island, will be in stores Tuesday, June 30th! If you read fast, you can find out who did it by July 1st even. I’ll be hosting a book release show the night of June 30th at the Bell House. Each ticket includes a signed copy of the book. You’ll learn that, much like my Gen Alpha brethren, I can’t actually write in cursive.
Every time I set out to write another one of these Luella van Horn murder mysteries, I think, now this one’s gonna be sexy and scary and that’s it. No jokes, no messy emotions. But then the sex always turns out off-putting, and it’s less scary and more one woman’s journey to make friends as an adult. There is heraldry in this one! But it’s totally like sexy, scary heraldry.
You can buy the book from any of these retailers, and I believe the audio book comes out the same day if you prefer that! I don’t have social media anymore because I’m either brave or a coward (your choice!), so this is the way to get the word out. If you enjoy it, always remember to force your friends to enjoy it, too.
Alright, here we go, passions this week include the KNICKS, Love Island, and the Tony Awards opening number.
Last night, the Knicks game was looking so grim at the halftime, I went to bed with a stomachache. I still don’t understand the nuances of the game (thought they were saying 'flavor fouls’ but they were saying ‘flagrant fouls’). But there’s a part of my brain that sees a ball and wants it to go in the hoop, and when it doesn’t I’m devastated. The Knicks had an amazing comeback in Game 4 thanks to OG Anunoby… just look at this game-winning tip in! Watch the crowd go crazy!!
Love Island is back, and they just did an episode where they blindfolded the women and gave them each a unique color of paint and told them to identify their men based on touch/making out. Of course, the men were all handcuffed to a giant bed, and then afterwards the women were supposed to get jealous after seeing their men covered in everyone else’s color of paint. I watched this episode while eating a tuna salad sandwich, and I thought, now this is an experience that made my life worse. Impactful nonetheless!
I still don’t know the true reason P!nk hosted the Tony Awards, and I may never learn, but that opening number really got me screaming. Seeing talented people singing and dancing in bright colors… it feels just like ball-go-in-the-hoop!
And now some passions from the readers…
Daisy: “My passion is those customized/personalized return address stickers that come in the mail from random (often christian) charities that you wonder how you possibly ended up on their mailing list but none-the-less the stickers are useful. Maybe I should be scared they have my full name and address, but they sent me a gift so I'm fine with it!”
Katherine: “one of my passions looks like, a high messy morning bun, pajama booty shorts, my dads old big shirt (hes dead, so its not creepy) hot caffeine beverage, my snoozing puppy on a slow morning with the internet, it wild out there is the webs, from dodo videos to the world atrocities, just give me two hours alone with this beast and I'll find ya something to keep the brain lights on.”
Kaitlyn: “My passion this week is being rewarded for inaction. I reeeally badly needed to wash my car which I do myself, but put it off all day even though I had nothing else to do. As the sun went down and I was about to get mad at myself for being lazy, it began to rain. Pour in fact. Heavily! All night and morning. Just like that, boom! A free 5 star car wash. I’ve never felt more supported and rewarded for doing nothing.”
If you have a passion, you can always reply to this email with 1-2 sentences about it!
