Welcome to #SixSunday!
Today’s Six Sunday I”m leaving STEAM ME UP, RAWLEY to focus on my upcoming release, BEER AND GROPING IN LAS VEGAS due out December 19. Here’s the cover and the first 6 lines:
Mirjam rubbed the tiredness from her eyes, but the caterpillar from Alice in Wonderland still occupied the Rivenbark Hotel & Casino elevator with her. She blinked and squinted. Yep, and life-size. Complete with hookah.
Plastic squeaked against glass as the caterpillar shifted to make more room. It made eye contact.

Thank you to everyone who comes by and comments each week!
Very original! Love your snippet!
I’ve had some interesting elevator rides in my life, but never quite this interesting. It’s too bad, because it just so happens, I have a massive crush on Alan Ripkin, and while I’d prefer him in one of his other roles, if Alice’s caterpillar was what I got, I guess I could learn to be happy with it.
Great hook, Angela. I’m already looking forward to reading this in a few weeks.
LOL — this was a great reminder of why I loved this story. Great opening six. I’m excited to buy this soon. 🙂
Wow. those are freaky elevator mates. LOL Great six! 🙂
What a hoot! I’ll be getting this one too!
Hilarious, I’m very intrigued and can’t wait to read MORE! Great six!
There’s such a great mood and humor to this.
Love this. Terrific humor. Only in Vegas.
Absolutely fabulous! Such a great visual–can’t get it out of my head…Must read more!
Fantastic!
Only in Vegas or Wonderland, lol. You’ve painted this scene well and it’s so much fun. Well, to read, not sure I would want to be in her position. 🙂
excellent hook. It will be a fun read
Really hooked me in and I’m new here. Great six, loved it.:-)
I love your sense of humor. I don’t feel I write humor well and I’m jealous of people who make it look easy LOL!
I think this story is going to be a great read. Keep writing so I can keep reading.
Thanks! It’s already finished, and will be published on December 19th 🙂
What a hoot! Can’t wait for this one. Congrats on the release!!
Oh my! Great opening six and a lovely cover! Congrats on your upcoming release! 🙂
Too funny, and such a great opening. It grabs the reader and makes the wonder, that’s for sure! 🙂
Must be a costume party going on somewhere.
She must’ve had one wild night, or else she’s in a dream come to life.
I quite frankly don’t know what I’d do if I met a hooka-smooking catapeller in the elevator. Fun six
Thats a brilliant hook! Nice 6.
Can’t even articulate how flipping awesome these first lines are. And I love how much the first lines fall right in with the Hunter S. Thompson play on words in the title. I can totally imagine Raoul Duke saying this in FALILV.
It may be silly, but I set up my Outlook calendar to check on Dec 19th for the release of your book. I liked what I and want to read more.
Oh, wow, very cool! I hope you enjoy it!!
OK, I want to know the whole rest of the story, I mean the whole rest–who-what-when-where-why-when.
In the service of which, I’m headed back in time to read all of these and mend my wicked-wicked SSS absentee ways.
