Bride of the Living Dead

 Tomorrow, Lynne Murray, author of the romantic comedy, Bride of the Living Dead, and six mysteries, will stop by Straight From Hel to talk about revising your manuscript. Lynne not only is a great writer, she’s also a lovely person. She was supposed to appear last Thursday, but with my computer crash, I lost her post and she graciously moved her tour schedule so she could come tomorrow.

I read Bride of the Living Dead, loved it and did a review. For those of you who haven’t read her latest book or haven’t picked it up in the store, here’s the cover blurb:
Indie film critic, Daria MacClellan, wants to marry the man she loves, but she's slipping on rose petals as if they were banana peels on her way to the altar. Big, beautiful and rebellious, Daria, who is most comfortable in a monster movie poster T-shirt and blue jeans, finds that her wedding is hijacked by family drama. How did she sign on for a formal wedding planned by Sky, her perfectionist, anorexic, older sister? Daria adores her fiancé and she loves horror films, but her wedding seems to be spiraling downward in that direction. Will a picture perfect pink wedding turn her into the Bride of the Living Dead?
As long as you’re in the store, check out the first in the Josephine Fuller series, Larger Than Death. It won the Distinguished Achievement Award from NAAFA (the National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance). Then, check in here tomorrow to read her post about Revisions and to ask questions.

  3. Conflict doesn't get any better than this. Like a Odd Couple Theme. The slob and the perfectionist.

  4. It is a conflict, Stephen, you're right. But Daria holds her own.

  12. What a perfect setting for family drama! Sometimes I think a whole series could be written based on an out of control wedding. See you tomorrow :)

  16. ... and USA will meet Ghana in the next round, which will be a difficult match, since Ghana has a Hell of a good team, probably the best in Africa >:)
