Meeting with a new editor
should be simple since her last seventeen books published were successful
romance/paranormal titles, and were pulling in big bucks.
“The Avenge of the
Highland Marauder” was a no-brainer: Strong words, passion withheld, an emotionally scarred Scottish
hero (throwing in some Gaelic), marauders
who plundered freely in that time period, and a mystical fey heroine who radiated stardust: it's a slam dunk.
The plot meanders a bit, but oh,
well. Lorelei tossed the bright cherry
red cape over her shoulder, locked the door behind her, and exited. No
brainer.
*** "Zzyzx" is not a real name, just so you know. It is a town in California, a really odd town to boot.
The bold underlined words were provided by Delores at Under the Porchlight who each week gives us participants a good kick in the pants/brains to create prose, poetry, flash fiction, etc. using these words. Fun stuff. Pleeeeaaase go to site above or by clicking on the train tracks in the right sidebar.

She's a stylish author indeed. You never let us down with the words Susan.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Delores, for always giving bloggers such a challenge. Marauders with stardust? Good ones.
DeleteMay be getting a bit too cocky
ReplyDeleteExactly...hope the new editor brings the ego down.
DeleteYou wove the words into a wonderful paragraph perfectly! I want to know how the meeting went!
ReplyDeleteI am hoping she gets taken down a notch or two.
DeleteMy aunt named her dog Zzyzx back about 29 years ago! Called him Z. Thanks for the memory.
ReplyDeleteDid she really?! Had she been to that town?!
DeleteThe Lorelei's of this world have been rewarded so generously that it is likely to take more than a determined editor to bring them down.
ReplyDeleteTrue--a steamroller successful-but-limited writer can get away with a lot.
DeleteA writer writing about a writer! Excellent!
ReplyDeleteGood story too.
I aim to throw in doubt.
