Romance Suspense

A new novel featuring a downtown-Brooklyn sex therapist whose caseload includes the occasional murder.

In the last three months, three models have been found dead around New York City, each with a lock of hair missing. It would be just another tabloid headline to Saylor Oz—-except that her best friend Benita’s brother stands accused. Saylor is convinced someone is reenacting the events of an old movie called Bad, Bad Babydoll. But no one else thinks so—not even the sexy P.I. on the case. Undeterred, Saylor and Benita must infiltrate the modeling world—and put themselves at risk of becoming the killer’s next victim.

Re: Babydoll

LOL Not sure we could write a novel together but we're good at raising our adopted family - does that count? lol
(Sarah Keery 10:48am August 4, 2009)

I've always been impressed by couples who could work together - I've always figured that you need to be separate in work to keep from killing each other!
(Kelli Jo Calvert 11:57am August 4, 2009)

I'm afraid all my answers to the quiz were "c"s. No way could we work together. I do admire those who can. We work together well doing lawn work or gardening. Also travelling. I'm always better at following road signs & will ask for directions.
(Donna Petrilla 1:22pm August 4, 2009)

Hi Sarah, Kelli Jo, and Donna! Thanks
for jumping in.

Yes, Sarah, I'd say being good at
raising kids together is a really
important one.

Kelli, you've got plenty of company on
this one.

Donna - Funny you should mention
traveling. Roy is like you and could
find his way anywhere, but I have the
WORST sense of direction and could
get lost in my own back yard!
(Allyson Roy 1:39pm August 4, 2009)

Loved the quiz. I don't think me and my hubby could write together. We do great gardening together. Have a great day.
(Roberta Harwell 2:04pm August 4, 2009)

Hi, Roberta - I love gardening, but Roy
gets hay fever, so scratch that one for us.
(Allyson Roy 2:10pm August 4, 2009)

My husband and I worked together for years when we owned an autoparts store, but I don't think our brains are on the same wavelength to write together! Karen Miller
(Karen Miller 2:15pm August 4, 2009)

Hi, Karen -- I think Roy and I are just
the opposite. Running a store together
would be a disaster! But when it
comes to creating dangerous
situations for Saylor Oz and the hot
boxer, Eldridge Mace, our brains are
somehow on the same wavelength.
(Allyson Roy 2:53pm August 4, 2009)

I loved the quiz, nobody touches my chocolate. My husband and I travel well together, but that is about it :)
(Vikki Parman 3:17pm August 4, 2009)

Writing with my husband would be a disaster. I think we could run a business together without hurting one another.
(Debra Czarnogursky 3:31pm August 4, 2009)

Thanks, Vikki. We hoped the quiz
would be a fun thing for readers. And
ditto on the chocolate wars!

Hi, Debra! Thanks for chiming in!

Sara, I just want to say, thanks for
having us here today. And as to your
husband, give him some books to
read! I know of a great suspense
series that makes people laugh out
loud. It's written by this husband-wife
team . . .
(Allyson Roy 3:49pm August 4, 2009)

Ms Allyson,I do believe you're heading for Sainthood-my Old Boy (husband) and I cannot write a thank you note together!
(Dawn Raymer 5:08pm August 4, 2009)

You're not alone, Dawn! But a few sparks
flying can sometimes make things more
interesting.
(Allyson Roy 5:14pm August 4, 2009)

I could never write a book with my spouse. Well... if he started it and wrote the basic premise, then turned it over to me to polish and never looked at it again. Maybe?
(LuAnn Morgan 5:22pm August 4, 2009)

I couldn't picture my parner even reading a book let alone writing it. He is afraid of my library... I think that may be because I made him dust once, but you never know.
(Tabatha Basham 5:46pm August 4, 2009)

Hi, LuAnn! Actually, Roy is usually the
one who gets the first draft going. And
like most females, I am good at the
second stage detail work. But the final,
fullest version is always the two of us
together.
(Allyson Roy 5:49pm August 4, 2009)

My husband and I have been married for 35 years. The best thing we do together is travel. As my husband drives, I am the navigator. I found our way around many hellish traffic jams and tight spots. We would always end up at our destination in plenty of time.
(Theresa Buckholtz 6:18pm August 4, 2009)

Wow, sounds like you match up well on
that score, Theresa!
(Allyson Roy 6:31pm August 4, 2009)

Going by your quiz questions we would kill each other. We work best together in the garden. He actually likes all the dirty, heavy work & I like to water the plants & admire - him & the garden.
(Mary Preston 6:59pm August 4, 2009)

I couldn't imagine writing a book with my husband since he hates reading and he hates how many books I purchase. So I'd say we would kill each either very fast
(Diane Sadler 7:28pm August 4, 2009)

Hi, Mary -You're the third woman who
said gardening with hubby works best!
Makes me wonder if it has something
to do with all that ancient earth
mother stuff -- or maybe it's just
having the quiet, open space around
us.

Hi, Diane -- I know so many women
whose husbands complain about the
number of books they buy! But women
are intuitive creatures who need an
active imaginary world to escape into.
Luckily I have an artist husband who is
similar to me on that.
(Allyson Roy 8:36pm August 4, 2009)

I loved the quiz. We have been together for almost 48 years and still enjoy each other's company. We enjoy traveling, camping, fishing and just roaming around seeing things that we haven't seen before.
(Lori Duhoski 10:02pm August 4, 2009)

Believe it or not, my husband and I enjoy shopping together!! And he DOESN"T mind how many books I buy! Of course, I extend the same courtesy to all his fishing and hunting gear!!
(Martha Lawson 10:23pm August 4, 2009)

Wow, Lori, sounds like you have a really
great relationship.
(Allyson Roy 10:23pm August 4, 2009)

Sorry I missed you earlier, Martha. I think
husbands who support their wives
reading addiction are the best!
(Allyson Roy 11:35pm August 4, 2009)

Like Theresa, my husband and I have been married for 33 years and work best when traveling. Other than that... I read - he watches TV. I walk - he sits and watches TV. I... oh, well, you get the idea!
(Karin Tillotson 11:41pm August 4, 2009)

a book together? only if he
could select the pictures
(read porn) and i did all the
words.
(Leola Hardin 9:35pm August 6, 2009)

Hi Karin! Hi Leola! Sorry I missed you. I
didn't realize people were still
commenting. Guess neither of your
husbands are to keen on books. I think
men have a shorter attention span
than women -- and, yep, Leola, more
visual and one-tracked.
