REAL HOUSEWIFE OF NEW JERSEY
Chris Redding |
Yes, I live
in New Jersey. I’m not from here, but I’ve lived here long enough to have some
Jersey Girl tendencies. (For the record, I am perfectly capable of pumping my
own gas.) Jersey Girls are tough. Tougher than almost anywhere. Not physically
tough, or rugged, but you don’t want to mess with them.
And none of
those ladies on The Real Housewives of New Jersey are anything like my friends.
None of us
live in houses that big. I don’t begrudge anyone a big house. Anyone can spend
their money on what they want.
I’ve been in
a book club for more than ten years and in that time there has been far less drama
then in one episode of RHofNJ.
We don’t have
alliances or change friends like we do our underwear. You watch a series of reunion
shows and the ladies who hated each other last year and bff’s this year. Next
year who knows.
Nope, for us
it’s been the same core 4 people. We have different political views and
different views on raising our children. Despite this we all get along.
Do you have a
core of friends that have always been there?

Blurb:
You just can't hide from the past...
Mallory Sage lives in a small, idyllic town where nothing ever happens.
Just the kind of life she has always wanted. No one, not even her fellow
volunteer firefighters, knows about her past life as an agent for Homeland
Security.
Former partner and lover, Trey McCrane, comes back into Mallory's life.
He believes they made a great team once, and that they can do so again.
Besides, they don't have much choice. Paul Stanley, a twisted killer and their old nemesis, is back.
Framed for a bombing and drawn together by necessity, Mallory and Trey go
on the run and must learn to trust each other again―if they hope to survive.
But Mallory has been hiding another secret, one that could destroy their
relationship. And time is running out.

I do have a small group of friends. We tend to be pretty similar in our beliefs, though, and I use them frequently to read what I'm writing, although none of them write.
P.S. Your book sounds like something I would enjoy.
Although I sometimes have "pity parties," I do have a core of friends who will come to my aid if called. Most of them are tennis players; however, I have one writer friend that swears she will help me "bury the body."
Good sales, Chris, with your latest novel. Love the cover.
Good luck with your new book. It sounds great!
Love the cover of Blonde Demolition. The font is perfect for it too. Off to buy a copy. :-)
Continued success!

Some days I wouldn't mind having that, especially if I'm dressed nicely and don't want to get dirty.
Reminds me of the bag boys they used to have in groceries, who'd not only bag your groceries but help you carry them out and put them in your car. It's one reason I prefer to shop at our Albertson's here in town rather than Wal-Mart, especially when it's dark outside. I feel MUCH safer.
I guess these types of civilities are gone because it costs money for the employer.
