Ok, this post is going to be super short (and probably unreadable) as I’m incredibly jet-lagged from returning from a trip to Spain. Amazing place that inspired many stories.  Now that I’m back this week, my goal is to start posting on the blog regularly now that book #3 is turned in to St. Martin’s and I’m not going anywhere anytime soon.

Eat. I took an Ambien a little bit ago since I was in a time-zone that was 9 hours ahead. However, as a result I’m eating everything in my house as if it were my last meal.  Not a good look.

Pray. I’m praying that my luggage arrives in the next 24 hours and not during the time I’m passed out from my sleeping pill.

Love. I’m loving all the emails, Facebook messages and Tweets regarding Waxed this past week.  As painfully corny as it sounds, these really make my day so THANK YOU!.

That’s all I got for now. I better stop typing before things start going all cuh-razy.

Good night!

Waxed
Rave, Robert (Author)
Aug 2010. 320 p. St. Martin’s/Griffin, hardcover, $14.99. (9780312544379)
Carolina Impresario is impeccably put together from her head to her feet, and her fastidiousness extends to her office. The glamorous Carolina is the owner of Impresarios’ Salon, the hottest, most sophisticated waxing salon in Manhattan, quite popular with the rich and famous. And despite her cool appearance and the salon’s spotless white walls, Impresarios’ is a family business—both her sisters are professional waxers. Anna, the middle sister, is reentering the working world after an acrimonious divorce, while Sofia, the youngest, is recently married and secretly craving the nightlife she gave up to be a housewife. While dealing with their daily parade of smiley faces, lovers’ initials, and full-on Brazilians, the sisters must handle their love lives and family problems while keeping up faultless appearances, because who knows that a flawless exterior hides an insecure interior better than an esthetician? Rave’s second novel (after Spin, 2009) of love, sex, and families is dishy and fun. The perfect summer read.
