Humor | Romance Contemporary

I'm Lexi Carmichael, geek extraordinaire. I spend my days stopping computer hackers at the National Security Agency. My nights? Those I spend avoiding my mother and eating cereal for dinner. Even though I work for a top-secret agency, I've never been in an exciting car chase, sipped a stirred (not shaken) martini, or shot a poison dart from an umbrella.

Until today, that is, when two gun-toting thugs popped up in my life and my best friend disappeared. So, I've enlisted the help of the Zimmerman twins—the reclusive architects of America's most sensitive electronic networks— to help me navigate a bewildering maze of leads to find her.

Along the way, my path collides with a sexy government agent and a rich, handsome lawyer, both of whom seem to have the hots for me. Hacking, espionage, sexy spy-men— it's a geek girl's dream come true. If it weren't for those gun-toting thugs...

Re: No One Lives Twice

I would have to say that you have one of the hardest jobs as a writer. It has to be hard to write a book, and have humor be a constant throughout the book!! I can be amusing, but to put it down in words is another animal entirely!! Since I'm new with your writings, I'm going to have to make it a point to pick up your books. In this day and age, with all of the sadness in the world, everyone needs a pick-me-up, and I'm sure that your books, with all of the awards, would be just the thing to put everyone in the right frame of mind to put everything else aside -- if only for a while. Thank you for putting your talent into words.

Thanks, Peggy! I feel the same way which is why I decided to give writing humor a shot. I'd MUCH rather laugh than cry at things and I really, really like a good belly chuckle!!

Love that bit about Charlie Chaplin! The unexpected is always so much funnier!
(Liz Fichera 11:34am November 2, 2010)

Julie, I've tried to write humor and can't do it. Now, if I don't try, then the humor seems to creep in all on it's own. I can't help it--life is just funny.
(Cindy Spencer Pape 11:43am November 2, 2010)

Great post, Julie! I love humor, both reading and writing it! Although I don't set out to write humor, bits of it come out in my writing like little fun surprises.
(Nicole North 12:01pm November 2, 2010)

Writing humor is really hard, Julie. Once upon a time I tried it myself. I had a rather splashy rejection in which an editor asked me - What makes you think you write funny?
Congratulations! You obviously know how to write humor!

Great post, Julie. The Charlie Chaplin gag got me :)

Reviewers always tell me I write humor. I don't do it on purpose. It just jumps out. Now if I try to write humor that's when things go really wrong!

I always enjoy light-hearted books with humor though. It's certainly true you can't please everyone. Humor is very subjective and regional too. I don't "get" some American comedies while English ones always hit the spot.
(Shelley Munro 2:20pm November 2, 2010)

Liz and Shelley - glad you liked the Charlie Chaplin gag. I always thought he was funny!! Shelley, if you ever read my book, can you let me know if the humor "hit" it for you? I'm curious as to how I am doing with the "foreign" audience." :)

Lilly, thanks so much for stopping by!! BTW, I've got you marked for my TBR pile!!

Nicole, I do love how sometimes the humor pops out of my writing like a wonderful surprise!

Cindy - I agree totally -- life is funny!!!
(Julie Czechowski 4:33pm November 2, 2010)

It takes a special person to make everyday situations humorous. I always enjoy the unexpected to make my day brighter.
(Rosemary Krejsa 5:43pm November 2, 2010)

I love to laugh. Clever, witty writing is delicious.
(Mary Preston 5:45pm November 2, 2010)

Thanks everyone! Just realized my married name is popping up instead of my pen name on my replies. I probably typed it in wrong when I registered. Sorry 'bout that. I guess that's what happens when you have a sick toddler and about 2 hours of cumulative sleep. Sigh! :)
(Julie Czechowski 7:11pm November 2, 2010)

Humor's tough. I struggle to write it. So unless it sneaks in, it's not there.

Hope the littlie's feeling better, and you've caught up on sleep!
(Jenny Schwartz 8:35pm November 2, 2010)

My humor is more of the giggle or a bit of the sarcastic type. I find in writing humor is the glue that holds onto connections for seemingly opposite types.
