when i got back to my desk from lunchtime yoga there was an envelope at my desk containing a promo flier and crappy timely template for Stef Ann Holm's (a USA TODAY bestselling author) latest romance novel called All The Right Angles
this is the compelling teaser:
Architect Francesca Moretti has always been taught to aim high, work hard and finish what you start.
So when it falls to her--the baby of the family and only daughter--to head up the family construction business and see a high-profile project through to completion, there is no question of bailing out.
Still, it won't be easy. Construction is a guys' game--Franci will have to prove she's just as comfortable in steel-toed boots as in peep-toe heels. To make matters worse, the financing company has sent a glorified babysitter to oversee the project: nitpicking workaholic Kyle Jagger.
The human watchdog is constantly looking over Franci's shoulder...and not always at the blueprints. And Franci's getting the distinct impression that Kyle is interested in a little more than just the bottom line.
this is exactly like that movie i saw on cinemax last night only there were 3 francescas and i think they had a crime to solve or something as well... i wasn't really paying attention.
Oh my god I just followed the link and saw the cute red hard hat hanging up next to the red handbag!!! That's like so totally awesome!!!!!! Just like a rilly cool girl architect!!!
NOOO! (I just read a few paragraphs of the excerpt) This reminds me of watching Bravo's Airline when I used to travel all the time for business. I wouldn't find it enjoyable to read construction fiction. There is enough drama in my life on a daily basis.
Thanks for the link, though, Stephanie. Did someone leave the advertisement on your desk, or did it arrive via the mail?
all the right angles

I CAN'T WAIT TO WRITE A REVIEW!
Awesome stephanie! I bet it will be as profound as The Fountainhead.
If I had to write a work of fiction (thankfully I do not), I would probably think that Francesca was a good name to use.
Please let us know in which chapter the sex takes place.
And if they do it on the drafting table.
..or maybe the light table would be visually more appealing.
next book for archinect book club?

If it's a typical girl novel then the sex will take place in ALL chapters. But of course it will all be soft-focus and candlelit.
Perhaps with construction site visits we might hope for something grittier?
like that work-gear comercial posted a while back..... what thread was that?
Oh my god I just followed the link and saw the cute red hard hat hanging up next to the red handbag!!! That's like so totally awesome!!!!!! Just like a rilly cool girl architect!!!
i remember a cocktail napkin which read... women with curves are surrounded by men with angles.
"good relationships are built, not made!"
I tried to read some of the excerpts on the link. I remembered why I don't really read fiction.
sex at a construction site? Now that's porn.
Strawbeary, there's a difference between fiction and terrible writing.
i'm going to stop reading the responses to this thread and go use my complimentary template for my blueprints.
BTW, lunchtime yoga, stephanie, you rock!
(I skipped my visit to the gym today - I'm bad.)
i worked out yesterday. i'm sore.
Sarah.....ah, the work gear commercial. I LOVED that commercial. Glorious piece of video art, that was. I'll try and find it now.....
Ah HA! Found it!
Best Construction Clothing Ever!
I bet Kyle wears those work boots.
Yeah! For WonderK!
Nice how that rhymes.
okay - where is tumbles? The picture so reminded me of her shoe postings. Not bad - I think I'd have to exercise my metrosexualism and take a read
