Single and Looking: Daisy
(Secret Lives of Sisters)
by Belinda Austin
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Chick Lit
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
AT FIRST, DAISY IGNORES HER CAT'S DATING ADVICE.
Daisy
will turn 40 in eleven months and has never married. Her family figures Daisy
is a loser because she is still in college trying to avoid paying off her
student loans which have amassed over 22 years of a miseducation. And all Daisy
has is a cat to keep her company. To make the crises worse, her cat begins
talking to Daisy, when she is sober! The mess of Daisy's life is even kookier
because the cat is cursing and smoking now and drinking more alcoholic
beverages. Mm, there must be a connection to all this flowing alcohol, which
may explain the bubbly in Daisy's brain. Her sisters and mother insist on
setting Daisy up on six blind dates and all the men are named after liquor.
A heartwarming, LOL book that will make you smile.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EXCERPT ONE:
Her
heart stopped at the sound of claws coming down the hallway.
What
is that rolling sound?
There
was the sound of heavy breathing at the door followed by, “I brought you a
bottle of wine, dearie,” the cat said, cackling like an old witch.
She
tiptoed over to the door. “I suppose you have a poisoned apple, too, in that
filthy paw of yours.”
“I
didn’t bring a wormy apple. Would you like a nice unopened bottle of Pinot Noir
instead?”
Daisy
twisted a fist in her yellow Adult Cinderella nightgown. Her big toe stuck out
of her slippers. She did not drink this early in the day or was even up on a
Saturday morning, but her sisters had banged on the bedroom window. Aunt Davina
slammed a picture of Jesus against the window and screamed, “Pray to God,
Daisy, that The Man watching football from the clouds will toss you a husband
as good as my John! Maybe you will catch a Matthew or a Peter!”
“I
dated a Peter once and he was really a dick,” Daisy yelled back.
Given
the day she was having, a morning drink could hit the I-feel-good-about-myself
spot right on.
Daisy
should act strong and tell the cat to go catch a mouse.
On
the other hand, a stiff drink would calm the lizards jogging around her brain.
The mind racing was due to her new mad-as-a-hatter relationship with her cat.
“Uh,
a glass of wine would be good,” she squeaked.

ReplyDeleteP.S. - I'm Brunette and fabulous, too, after I've been power-washed, moisturized, and painted.
Sounds like a good read.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your interest, Victoria.
ReplyDeleteI really love your cover and I would love to read your book.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Bridgett. I did the cover myself. I searched and searched for a cover to purchase and of course, none reflected my crazy book. I used to be a web developer but rarely make my own covers nowadays because I’m busy working on new books. And there are some wonderful covers out there made by some talented people. Once I added the cat, I just had to make him talk!
DeleteSounds great.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
