A-Z Solomon's Compass Style: Lulu
Welcome A-Z bloggers!
And everyone else, of course :)
My A-Z posts are all about my new book, SOLOMON'S COMPASS.
Be sure to read to the end of this post for awesome news!
Hi, Y'all!
I'm Lulu.
That Kelly is a piece of work, ain't she? But you gotta like her - she's funny as all get out, and she moves as fast as she talks. I'm still waiting to see that purple hair, but I will tell you I saw it green once.
I'm supposed to introduce myself, though, and not talk about everyone else.
I was born right here in Rock Harbor. Daddy was a shrimper. Mama raised us kids. Five of us. I was the baby. Hard to know that now with all this gray hair. We all grow old sometime. If we're still here.
Anyway, I own Lulu's, a bar and grill on the old highway to Corpus. We serve the best burgers and coldest beer in town.
I run a safe, clean place and don't put up with crap from anybody. Happy hour gets a little rowdy some days, but weekends the place is full of families, kids and all.
The first time Jake Solomon came through the door, I thought I'd died and gone to heaven. If I'd been thirty years younger....
But the first time I saw him with Taylor, I knew that man was a goner.
Oh, well. That's life.
Some days you win, and some days it's somebody else's turn.
Gotta get back to work. It was nice to meet y'all. You ever find yourself in Rock Harbor, stop in and say hi.

Yesterday was Carol's final SOLOMON’S COMPASS tour stop, but the post should be up all weekend. She's at Isis Rushdan's blog. Jake and Taylor put their heads together for this last post, and you don't want to miss it.
And ...
Isis is giving away a Kindle version of
SOLOMON'S COMPASS!

Oh, wait...I can! A virtual visit in a book is the next best thing, right?
Not even from Ninjas, Alex :)
I like everybody, Dezmond, as long as they pay up and don't cause a ruckus.
Good for her! Your father-in-law chose a good name for her, Jeff.
That's what I'm thinking, Linda!
Well, thank you, Delores. Folks around here usually just say I'm quite a character.
The other novel Carol wrote doesn't have me. Or Jake. Or any of the rest of us. Just sayin', sweetie. But it's mighty nice of you to give others a chance :)
Robin, you nailed me. Nobody wants to get on my bad side, 'cause it's a big bad side and it has a long memory.
Have a great weekend, Carol.
Teresa, I'll pass on all those good comments to Carol. She'll be happy to hear them.
Hi, Clarissa! Been a few days since I saw you. Carol's out back with the dogs.
Amen, Bish.
Your characters are very Texan, I'm pretty sure LuLu is a cousin of mine...a couple of times removed, but still kin. None of us take any crap.
Thanks for stopping by today and Following CollectInTexas Gal. I'm now following you and have added you to my AtoZ Blog Roll. Maybe I'll see ya on The RiverWalk...there's a place down there that makes great Margaritas.

As long as you keep Jezebel out of Lulu's, we'll get along just fine, Laura.
That's me, Nick. And proud of it.
So am I, Janeane. Hope you'll visit again real soon.

Real women.
Love your writing. Thanks for stopping over at Lighten Up! :)

Trisha, Carol's Live-In Handyman said he hoped she'd take over dinner duty now that she would have a little more time. They were still discussing that possibility when I left last night.
I'll pass your kind words on to Carol. I think 'real' is a good thing! Good to meet you, Dawn.
Carol had a great tour, Tracy Jo. Here's hoping this is a great Sunday for everyone.
Come on over, Old Kitty. A big ol' gray tabby's been hanging around the patio. Y'all can make friends.
OE, you better believe I mean business!
