SIX SENTENCE SUNDAY - 2/5/12

It's Six Sentence Sunday here on Books by Banister, and that means I get to share a little snippet from my recently released Chick Lit novel, BLAME IT ON THE FAME, with you.  My book tells the story of the five nominees for Best Actress at this year's Academy Awards.  One of these nominees is British stage actress, Philippa Sutcliffe.  Philippa's caught between a rock and a hard six-pack when she's forced by the studio to go out and promote her Oscar-nominated film with her co-star and former lover, Miles McCrae.  The first stop on their Reconciliation Tour is a chat show called "Eye on London," where the combative exes come face-to-face for the first time since their acrimonious break-up . . .

“You look good, Phil.  You’ve put on some weight . . .,” his eyes traveled up and down her body, which was encased in a form-fitting wrap dress that showed off every womanly curve, “. . . in all the right places.”


“Well, you look like hell,” she commented waspishly after taking note of his rumpled hair, unshaven face, and drooping eyelids.  “Did you even bother going to bed last night?”
     
“Oh, I went to bed.  I just didn’t get any sleep.”

    1. Thanks, Dee. I always pictured Miles and Philippa's exchanges as being very Moonlighting-esque.

  2. Ooh, 1-0 to Phil, there! The premise reminds me a little of the film 'American Sweethearts' but in a good way. :)

    1. Definitely in the same vein with actors/co-stars bickering behind-the-scenes. Who doesn't enjoy a good love/hate relationship in fiction, right?

    1. I loved all of the characters in this book, but I'd be lying if I didn't say that Miles and Philippa had a special place in my heart. They sure were fun to write for!
