No Love, Draguana

February 9, 2006

The love boat has sailed, friends. The sixth annual People’s Prom is already sold out!

This doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll spend Valentine’s Day watching Pretty In Pink. Anyone who signs up for a volunteer shift gets in free — and about forty tickets will be at the door if you get to the Grandview Legion early enough. But stay away from the kissing booth, okay? Don’t you know about mono?

Finally, my two favourite things in the whole wide world have become one.

I am thrilled to learn that bubble bath innuendo has partnered with beer-class speed to produce a series of NASCAR-themed Harlequin romance novels.

In The Groove, the first novel in this series, went on sale last week. The book features “a down-on-his-luck NASCAR driver Lance Cooper and ex-kindergarten teacher Sarah Tingle. They meet when his car hits her. She gets a bump on the head. He’s driven to distraction. When he looks at Sarah, Cooper feels like he has been shocked by a loose spark plug wire.”
