Ice Palaces

Can't tell you how THRILLED I am to have this book debut. La Bella Luna is dedicated to THE BATS in the 'cave' and the bats in THE BELFRY - wonderful friends and critique partners who have been with me from the first stages of some pretty godawful stories to the completion of what I think is my best mainstream yet.

*
Blurb:
*
Mudpacks, murder, deceit, betrayal and tattoos—how much can a friendship sustain without cracking?
*
Try telling your best friends that your husband is leaving you for another man, or that you’ve slept with one of their husbands and have borne his child. Better yet, let them know you’ve just committed murder or that you’re dying.
*
Ann, Eazy, Merry and Leta Lou—all four of the Oklahoma City socialites, having spent years merely scratching the surface of their friendship, are thrust into an emotional tornado and left with the devastating ruins of aftermath as the secrets they’ve kept surface. Ann wants to help them rediscover their dreams, but before she can do that, she must first destroy their illusions.
*
Money can’t buy happiness, forgiveness, or peace, but it can sure make life…and death…a lot more interesting.
*
I've been so busy lately that I completely forgot that LBL debuted YESTERDAY!!!!!!!! - lol

addendum - sorry - guess it'd help if I posted the link where someone could view/buy/scoff at this, huh?...

We don't have ice this pretty, but the ground is still so white that no lights are needed to view the entire yard at midnight or later.

*
Daughter-in-law-to-be had never had snow ice-cream, so as a treat, I made some for her (I'll post the recipe on the Lyn's Licks & Laughs recipe blog later today, for those who'd like to sample this dish on their own).

*
The third story in the Shrink Wrap anthology finally, FINALLY has a pub date...April 6th. Next (hopefully) on the EC pub list for me will be Spies, Lies, & Duct Tape (thanks again to those of you who contributed to the naming of this sucker - lol - the follow up book will be Spies, Lies, & Bungee Cord, by the way). Writer pals Summer Devon and Kris Starr already have their stories out - mine will tie everything up.
*
How is it I wind up last in the anthologies? - LOL - I'm last in another one, this one with Samhain, entitled Who's Your Daddy? - and this anthology is about the 'results' of Sperm Donor #69's college proclivities with a NY sperm bank. Again, Summer is one of the authors (and let me tell you, I'd work with this woman ANY day - she's terrific!). One more friend whose book is on the editor's desk is Alexis Fleming, another fun author.

All for now. Have a safe, cozy, delightful week, everyone.

That cover rocks, Lynn.

BTW, how could your DLTB NOT have had snow ice before? OMG!
