So I think it’s kind of funny that she writes novels. Although it shouldn’t be funny, because the ability to tell a good story is no doubt in a completely separate part of your brain than the part that makes you a good speller. I’d take the storytelling gene any day. Her years of hard work are finally starting to pay off. Last weekend her manuscript won the Grand Prize for all categories at a writing conference she attended. She had agents hunting her down after she won the award, so hopefully a publishing gig is on the horizon. And then you can all experience the amazingness that is her YA romantic suspese Shatter. Want a teaser? You know you do: Kiss a guy? I’d had sushi once, which felt like eating a pair of lips. I assumed kissing would be similar only without the ginger and wasabi sauce. Did I want to kiss a guy? Ginger and wasabi sauce were the only good parts of sushi. I still giggle every time I read this. You can finish reading the first few pages of the book on Nikki’s blog over here. A jacket-cover description can be found here. I’ve read the whole book, and can tell you that it is not only going to be published one day, but eventually someone is going to buy the movie rights for it, and we can all sit back and watch the awesomeness unfold. (Slumber party at my house, you’re all invited.) Congrats Nikki! You’re amazing! Now let’s talk Keich. I used to think the best part of quiche was the ham and the crust, but that was before I tried adding asparagus. Talk about awesome. Add in the goat cheese and I can say with conviction that this is the best quiche I have ever eaten. Never thought I would say that about something meatless, but it’s true. It was really easy to put together. Change your life today!
