"Really. Really?? Really. Now Hollywood stars are lecturing the decision and policymaking bodies of the world. That's hot."
'Nuff said.
OK, you know how the tagline for May Day was:
New job. Small town. Dead boyfriend. Ever have one of those months?
You don't? Well it was. Anyhow, now I need a tagline for June Bug. Mr. B. is recommending, "It say
s 'Last Resort' on my ass for a reason" (you might need to get a magnifying glass on her butt). Inarguably catchy, no? Any other suggestions? Seriously. I want to get some mood pens made up, and I need a tagline. Here's a summary that might be helpful:In June Bug, the second book in the Murder by Month series, Mira dives into a secret nearly a century old. In the late 1920s, a diamond necklace lost in a nearby lake prompts the wealthy owners of an island to fire their staff and sell the property. This intrigue resurfaces when a Minneapolis newspaper creates a contest to find the necklace. The quirky characters from the first novel return as Mira contends with a traveling theater troupe, competitive resorts willing to do anything to attract business, a town eager to find the necklace, and long-buried rivalries.
And here's a link to Chapter 1. If I use your tagline on the pens, I'll send ya one! A pen! A whole pen! And maybe a Nut Goodie bar.
p.s. Last night I dreamt I was Britney Spears' nanny. I kid you not. I don't know what karma debt that was, but I can tell you I took good care of those little boys and only fed them organic food (only it was organic liver in my dream). Brit and Kevin Can'tStopSpreadingYourSeederline were making out a lot in the background. What is the meaning of this?
tagline idea:
ReplyDeleteFriends don't let friends eat hotdish and dive.
another idea:
ReplyDeleteJewels to dive for.
how about:
ReplyDeleteKiss my Last Resort.
I once said in another person's blog that there is nothing purely creative. That everyone gets their inspiration from something or in some way. I'm anxious to read your book- it sounds like Titanic at a much more realistic level.
ReplyDeleteKev & Brit- Perhaps their kids had the same dream you did and you were all actually 'orbed' into each other's lives. You could send Brit a copy of your book and see if she talks about it in People?
Ha! Those are all great. I love the play on "dive," but my favorite is "jewels to dive for."
ReplyDeleteCan someone get me Britney Spears' address? I think Chelty has a fantabulous idea.
I like "Kiss my Last Resort" a lot but it only works with a picture of the cover.
ReplyDelete"Jewels to dive for" is great but I'd suggest tweaking it to "A mystery to dive for." Again, though, I think it relies on the visual.
Getting a big impatient, are we? I don't even have the flippin' galleys yet.
