Cousin Hoyt - Oy Vay!

To look at Cousin Hoyt was to be repelled. I don't care who you are- there was something that would put you off. Personally, for me, it was his open mouth chewing. I mean, really? You're in your twenties, shouldn't you know chewing with your mouth open spewing food is rude? For others it was his disgusting build up of ear wax, his penchant for picking his nose, or even the high pitch girly squeel he made when he spotted a spider. How he managed to land a woman like Stormy however, is no suprise- all it took was winning millions in the lottery.

Now, I know for a fact that she must have been taking some heavy duty meds in order to get past the gag reflex when it came to bedroom activities, but other than that, she had it pretty good. The guy is completed addicted to his xbox and Stormy was addicted to shopping, traveling, and plastic surgery. It worked out great, until someone decided that Stormy needed to be gone- permanently.

'Medium Rare'

Success! After countless dreams, sleepless (okay, well, I did sleep, but I woke up grumpy!) nights I have finally found a title for Tansy's first adventure! The title, 'Medium Rare', will be published up on several platforms in the upcoming weeks. All of you with e-readers, keep a lookout!

I'm doing my best to keep the blog and my facebook fan page updated with information. You can 'like' me at facebook.com/kathy.lamee.

Over the weekend I've been coming up with character development for Tansy's second adventure. Just a peek? Well, okay, twist my arm! You will get to meet Tansy's slovenly cousin Hoyt and of course, her mom and dad. Now that her skills as a P.I. are out of the closet (of course, no one knows that she can see ghosts, that's her own little secret) she has been called back to her hometown to help solve the murder of Cousin Hoyt's recently departed wife, Stormy.

Keep watching for more - and maybe some help from the audience when writer's block hits :)

Can we get a title pleeeeease?

Okay- Here is a synopsis- If you are a 'fan' on facebook- thanks! If not- well- why not?? Here is a brief synopsis of Tansy- we are aiming for a great and fabulous- and did I mention catchy? title! If one of you is the brilliant creator- you will of course get credit for your wonderfully stupendous contribution!

A week ago Tansy never would've dreamed she'd be taking cover with a detective watching a friend literally blow up a Russian arms deal. But then, she hadn't expected to perform striptease or talk to ghosts either.

Craving escape from her dead-end job at the shady Psychic Friends' Neighborhood, Tansy goes under cover to try and find answers about a desperate caller's missing boyfriend, Buster. Her first day out Tansy makes two startling discoveries-first, Buster is dead and second, she can communicate with him.

Before she knows it, Tansy is in over her pink-haired head trying to figure out what a dead wash-bay boy, stolen files, and the Russian mob all have to do with slimy used car salesmen. While her spunk and determination get her answers, her lust for a sexy P.I. might get her into even hotter water.

One of those people who seem to attract mayhem, including no-good boyfriends, a pink hair-do, random firings, and crispy-fried cars, Tansy bumbles along in life and in detecting. What starts out as a simple missing person's case soon evolves into a trans-Pacific criminal ring involving kidnapping, guns, thugs, and stolen cars.

Tansy Meets Johnny.....

"What can I do for you ladies?” Hottie had some nice eyes; they sparkled and reminded me of the blue glass I used to find on the beach growing up. I tried not to sigh, I was smitten. This, unfortunately, is how it works for me and the opposite sex. I am either not at all attracted to them and can function completely like a normal person, or, well, basically the opposite happens. I am instantly sucked into an alternate universe of complete attraction, reduced to a non-verbal clumsy, and highly dysfunctional pile of goo. Fortunately, I have gotten past the slobbering that used to happen when I was in high school, thank god.

Decision Time

Okay, so I've decided that I'm going Rogue- doing things myself- in other words.... self publishing! Only, with a twist... I'm going to publish Tansy as an e-book while I work on my next novel.

She's all ready to go- and I figure in these tough economic times, why not be a risk taker! So, in the next few weeks, while I am on vacation back home, I will be formatting away and getting her up and going for an array of e-reader formats.

There is a new facebook page as well and as soon as I get cover art it will be there for the viewing! Stay tuned for more- back to the trenches!!
