“Ohhh, looky here, Maudeen…they done let that weird-a** woman into their blog
group!”
“Which one?”
“The one that writes them sceery books. That Deborah somebody or other.”
“No way!”
“It’s true. Lookit, she’s right here.”
Tsk Tsk “I swear, Leatrice, there just ain’t nothin’ sacred no more.”
“Why you think them classy ladies let her in here for?”
“Don’t know. Maybe it’s got something to do with the barimethodical pressure. You
know, the thing that gets them hurricanes all uppity.”
“You think, Maudeen?”
“Either that or it’s the moon. I think it’s full or new, one of the big ones that make
people do funny things.”
“Nah, I saw it last night, and it ain’t full. It was one of them thumbnail moons.”
“You sure?”
“Uh huh. So I guess it’s the bar. . .barimet. . .it’s the pressure, like you said.”
“Probably so.”
“Think we should stick around here now and keep an eye on things?”
“Somebody’s got to.”
“Yeah.”
“That pressure thing, you know?”
“Yeah, the pressure. . .”
Hey, welcome to Murdershewrites! Although Maudeen and Leatrice are right about me being the weird one in the bunch, I swear I’m as harmless as a roosting pigeon. And anyway, Maudeen and Leatrice have been slipping down that menopausal slope at breakneck speed for quite some time, so you can’t really trust everything they say.
On the other hand, you should definitely pay close attention to the other ladies posting on this blog! They’re a talented, energetic, fun, and creative group, women I’m proud to be associated with.
Glad you stopped by and hope you enjoy your visit!

Muuuwaahhhhaaahhhaaaaaa. Deb, you should really WARN a girl before she goes to read a post, totally unprepared, while drinking a vodka Collins. (Get it? Vodka Collins? Natalie R. Collins? Collins…. Never mind. It was dumb.)
I was expecting that “sceery” stuff, and you floored me with humor. I knew you would fit right in with this group…… You really wanted to name it “Killing Them Softly, One M&$#*r F*$#@r at a Time…..Didn’t you?
by Natalie October 28th, 2005 at 3:51 pmDeb!
Well, well, aren’t you a sneaky one, hiding that wicked sense of humor! Love your post! By the way, I think I ran into Maudeen and Leatrice at Wal Mart the other day…
by Jennifer October 28th, 2005 at 4:07 pmROFLOL . . . I am definitely the only one in this group without the ability to write humor. (Trust me on that — my agent told me so, though she said it very nicely.)
Can’t wait until your book comes from bn.com . . . I love scary stories. But then again, I use to read Poe for fun . . .
I’m so glad you’re here. We’re going to have a blast.
by Allison October 28th, 2005 at 4:21 pmDang, straight, sistah Nat–I was keeping my fingers crossed for Killing Them Softly, One M*#$@r F*#$%r at a Time! LOL
Hey, Jen, I’m not surprised you ran into Maudeen and Leatrice at Wal Mart. They’re always there. Memories, you know? Maudeen’s daughter, Beula Jean, had her wedding reception there a year ago…in the Garden Center.
Allison, I’m glad I’m here, too! And I know there’s funny in ya, girl. I just know it!
by Deb October 28th, 2005 at 6:02 pmLOL, Deb. I know from your blog that I’ll love your writing. I don’t usually like scary books–I freak too easily–but I’m going to buy yours.
by Edie Ramer October 29th, 2005 at 3:36 pmThanks, Edie! And take heart about freaking out so easy. My sister is the same way. In fact, she’s 35 years old and still hides her eyes during the Wizard of Oz. I swear!
But I’m happy to report that she managed to make it through both my novels unscathed and unmedicated.
