Anne In Tights

Posted on August 27th, 2008 in Anne At College by kimber

“You taking all your clothes?” Ginny sat cross-legged on the parquet floor.

“I’ll have to.” Unlike her sister, Anne didn’t have that many. “You think I have to wear hose for this job?”

“It’ll be expected, Annie.” Her mom held the pizza slice by one corner, her pinky finger raised.

“Yuck.” Anne hated wearing tights. She felt like a stuffed sausage. And, and,

“Your closet will be empty.” The big eyes Ginny gave Anne were laughable. Those didn’t work on a sister.

“My legs aren’t that different a color.” Anne stretched them out. Beige. She was beige. From top to bottom.

“You’ll have to cover them, Annie,” her mom insisted, dusting off her hands.

“You’ll have a big empty closet. Empty.” Ginny’s closet was crammed. Had been that way from birth.

“I could go without.” What was the big deal? It wasn’t like they’d grab anyone’s attention or anything.

“No way.” Folded pizza slices paused on their way into her father’s mouth. “No man is going to look at my daughter’s bare legs. I won’t allow it.”

“But…” Anne tried again. He wasn’t thinking rationally.

“No way. You go in bare legged and you’re going home. I mean it.” A clenched jaw. “No daughter of mine is going to be entertainment for those business bast…”

“Dear!” A sharp reprimand from Anne’s mom.

Because of her. They argued because of her. “I won’t, dad. I’ll wear hose.” She sighed, unhappy with the situation.

“Annie, I might have a solution.” Her fashion conscious sister scrunched up her face. “I’ll share it.” A big grin. “For a price.”

Man In Suit English Chocolate London


Man In Suit + English Chocolate = Yum

I don’t know if I love the flared waist
on the suit
but the bright blue shirt pops.

Also, English chocolate, my fave!
The customs officer asked me what I had to declare.
My reply?
Chocolate!
Suitcases full of chocolate.

Will Gregory Or Ginny Get Their Own Books?

Posted on August 22nd, 2008 in Breach Of Trust by kimber

Many readers are asking
“Will Gregory or Ginny get their own books?”

I really don’t know.
I hope they do.

Not yet for Ginny, Anne’s sister.
As one reader pointed out,
Ginny is a bit too scattered to settle down.
She is busy building her business
and finding her place in the world.
She isn’t thinking about men (much).

Gregory, that sue-happy rascal,
appears again in the sequel to Invisible
(as does Philippe - my hero doesn’t like him very much).
I haven’t yet met the right girl to introduce him to.
If you know of an eligible fictional character
he might like,
let me know.
