Читать книгу Bachelorette Blues - Robyn Amos - Страница 7

Is it luck or coincidence? You tell me. One week after I came up with the chain letter idea for Bachelorette Blues, I received a chain letter of my own in the mail. Thanks to the immediacy of E-mail, I received countless chain letters while writing this novel. Some promised true love, like the one Shayna receives from her niece; others promised good fortune or wealth. All I know is, I haven’t participated in any of them, and my luck has never been better. Of course, I’m still working on the true love and the wealth.

I’m not superstitious…much. I’m a firm believer that if you don’t finish reading the chain letter, it doesn’t count. Fortunately, I’ve never been as clumsy as Shayna, but I wouldn’t mind having her organizational skills to help me balance my full-time job, writing career, friends and family. Maybe I like the concept of Shayna being a life management consultant so much because I need one so desperately.

Besides collecting chain letters, while writing this book I went duckpin bowling for the first time, picked up a few new recipes—now I just have to learn to like cooking—and paid homage to my love of chocolate. If you like Shayna and Max’s story, or just want to send me a chain letter—I’m just kidding; no chain letters, please!—contact me at: P.O. Box 7904, Gaithersburg, MD 20898-7904.
