Book Trailer Fridays – Juliette Fay & Deep Down True

January 29, 2011 Filed Under: book trailer fridays, books are awesome

I’ve been meaning to blog all week, but I’ve been completely lost in my manuscript. It’s a good thing, but I get to the end of my writing day and I’m kind of shocked that I’m still me. It’s a little disorienting. Like watching a movie that’s completely engrossing and when it’s suddenly over, walking through the doors of the movie theatre back to the normal world seems surprising.

Or like the time The Other 1/4 watched the entire first season of Heroes around the same time that I did.

She called and said, “You know, the only thing I didn’t like about it –“

“–was when you stopped watching and didn’t have superpowers it was disappointing?” I said.

“Yeah,” she said. “Exactly.”

That’s what I’ve been feeling like every Tuesday and Thursday when I finish writing for the day. Not that my main character has superpowers, just that right now, even though she’s not real, I can’t get enough of her.

But this weekend, I’m taking a break from work, writing, and everything else – except laundry, because the clean clothes situation around here is a little dire – and planning a good old-fashioned reading binge. Hot tea, my electric throw blanket, and my HappyLites. I’m going to pretend like I’m not tired of winter and enjoy being cozy while the snow falls. Deep Down Truecame out this week and I’ve been dying to read it!

Here’s the description:

Newly divorced Dana Stellgarten has always been unfailingly nice–even to telemarketers–but now her temper is wearing thin. Money is tight, her kids are reeling from their dad’s departure, and her Goth teenage niece has just landed on her doorstep. As she enters the slipstream of post-divorce romance and is befriended by the town queen bee, Dana finds that the tension between being true to yourself and being liked doesn’t end in middle school… and that sometimes it takes a real friend to help you embrace adulthood in all its flawed complexity.

Here’s the trailer:

And here’s what people are saying about Deep Down True:

“Heartwarming, funny, well-penned, unexpectedly suspenseful, this is a solid page-turner right through to the touching end.” –Booklist

“Familiar material gets sensitive treatment in this subtle novel. It expertly walks a heavily trodden path. ” –Publisher’s Weekly

“Sincere, powerful and heartfelt … the intricate dynamics of friendship and family are immediately recognizable.” –Emily Giffen, New York Times bestselling author of Heart of the Matter

How’s relaxing going, you ask? Well, so far I’ How’s relaxing going, you ask? Well, so far I’ve cleaned the gutters and raced Roxy to the vet ER to determine she did not (thankfully) eat any of the scrap of composite plastic decking she magically found out of freaking nowhere. (Getting pet insurance was the smartest thing I’ve ever done). I’m extremely bad at rest. Although I do find puttering around the house kind of meditative. Cleaning the gutters exhausted my body, but calmed my mind (briefly).
This is our neighbor, Francis. We visit Francis a This is our neighbor, Francis. We visit Francis a couple times a week and we all like to stand around staring at each other. It’s lovely. Francis seems just as interested in us as we are in them. (And look at that stance! And Francis’s little paw resting on the ledge 😍). #groundsquirrel #groundsquirrelsofinstagram #dailyroxydog #dogstagram #neighbors
I don’t think there’s anything more comforting I don’t think there’s anything more comforting than lying in a hammock. I’m exhausted. I’ve pushed against the limits of my being very hard all summer working on my draft and I definitely need to soak up some calm quiet on a large scale. Which is also to say if I owe you a call/email/text, it might take me a week or two to circle back. I’m going to catch up with myself and then with everyone else this time. Which I think might mean spending as much time as I can lying in my hammock listening to birds. #rest

All I ever want is an endless stream of tiny snack All I ever want is an endless stream of tiny snacks to crunch while I’m working. But since I have MCAS and it limits my diet, most of what I eat is food I make myself. Thankfully, corn tortillas are a safe food for me (everyone’s MCAS is different — so please don’t take my safe foods as any kind of sign they’re safe for someone else who has MCAS). Today, I remembered that I  have tiny cookie cutters, so I made myself a bowl of mini chips. I tossed them with lime juice and salt and threw them in the air fryer. And then, of course, because I don’t want to waste food, I did the same for the scrap pieces (which somehow tasted even better!). So happy! #tortillachips
