We all love a good party…………… and I have news of one that’s going to rock the blogosphere. Next week the fabulous author Linda Gerber (who is also one of the TFCers) is having a launch party for her new book Death By Latte (what a title… cracks me up everytime I see it) and there are 19 YA authors taking part (including me….. like, keep me away) and there are loads of prizes up for grabs every day.

So, make sure you hop over there…. I promise you won’t be disappointed!!!

Well…. what else has been happening in Sara’s world….. hahahahaha it makes me laugh when people talk of themselves in the third person….. anyway, four more sleeps until we go away…. all I want to do is walk, eat, read and NOT TALK (apart from to my partner, if he’s lucky). Working in a motel not only means we’re on call from the time we get up (5.45am until we go to bed 11pm) but we have to be nice to everyone ALL THE TIME. Don’t get me wrong… I don’t want to be mean (my cancerian/eldest child need to be liked won’t allow me to) but some people can be very demanding, and an undisturbed meal/TV show would be most welcome!

On the writing front…… I’m seriously writing up a storm… well in my head I am…. actually I’ve been a bit lazy, though I am working on a couple of proposals… I can’t do anything today because I’ve got to go to the hairdressers shortly and Amanda has recommend I watch a movie called Sixteen Candles to help with my new outline, and lucky for me the DVD hire shop had a copy. And now she’s just emailed me to say that I should be watching Pretty in Pink!!!!

   Sara Pretty in Pink is great, so’s Sixteen Candles, and the ultimate Breakfast Club, John Hughes was extraordinary in the eighties… I wonder why he stopped.
   I still think Ducky should have ended up with Claire in Pretty, but ah well….

   LOVE Pretty in Pink! I’ve seen it more times than I can count! Sixteen Candles is good too–that Amanda has good taste in movies!

   I used to work in a hotel in Greece– I know just what you mean about long hours and demanding people!

   Hi Sara – just stopping by to say hi but you’re probably away. Have a fun time.

   Death By Latte is a great title. Very intriguing. I’m going to have to check it out.

   Ohh, Sixteen Candles is one of my fave ’80s movies! The scene where the geek gets stuck inside a glass table cracks me up. A while ago I heard talk of a sequel called Thirty-Two Candles–I hope that wish comes true.
