Same deal for anybody with a blog who's willing to read it. Be warned, there is generous usage of the eff word and it IS raw, including possibly grating on tender racial sensibilities. jmc, since you have a blog, send me your e-mail at http://monicajackson.com/contact.htm and I’ll send you a pdf copy free WITH the name changed, LOL!

You know those cafeterias in Texas?

That is the second second thing that pops into my mind when I hear “Luby,” after the grease monkey. My stepmother loves the place, particularly for its liver and onions (ick).

Would it be sacrilege for me to ask if the book is out in e-format? One that I can edit, making Luby into Lucy or Ruby? [Is a question like that rude or heartbreaking or offensive to an author? No offense intended.]

They were my inspiration, but have absolutely nothing to do with the character other than I wanted an off-the-wall name for her. I'm guilty of being quite food oriented. Jane, thanks for the review and go and see my <a href="http://monicajackson.com/blog/?p=1639" rel="nofollow">rebuttal!</a> I wrote a whole post. I don't get that many reviews and I get excited, LOL.

But I put it back on the shelf every time because of the name of the heroine. "Luby" conjures (to me) images of a greasy middle aged white guy in garage coveralls, and I just can't get past it.

That one scene involving the "confrontation" had me laughing my head off. Luby and her crazy assed friends were definitely the highlight of the book.

I prefered the bits with Luby and her crazy-assed friends. I liked this one, although I must admit, Jake irritated the shit outta me. I prefered the bits with Luby and her crazy-assed friends.
