Props to the Honey Badger

A few things about my friend Madeline Martin (author of fabulous Scottish Highlander romances):
  • She's absolutely beautiful and stylish, but it's nicely balanced by her clumsiness and self-deprecating humor;
  • She's quick to offer a smile and encouragement, even when she's probably thinking, "That's the craziest thing I've ever heard."
  • She balances her virtual Red Pen critiques with :-) and LoLs, so I feel like my manuscript is happy to be bleeding to death;
  • She points out major details missed in a scene... because I've gotten distracted by the hot hero;
  • All those wildly inappropriate thoughts that jump into my head? I can say them to Madeline, because she's thinking them, too;
  • She gives "creative" driving directions after an evening of celebration (still better than Siri, in my opinion);
  • She's up for almost any adventure;
  • She writes a fabulous blog : www.madelinemartin.com.  Not every day you find a site that discusses the historical significance of penis enlargement AND beheading, right?
  • And finally - She's my Mud Run Buddy - Team Dirty Writers AKA Team Honey Badger and Combat Barbie AKA Team Spider Monkey and Baby Bear.
OK - that last one was a sneaky segue. 2012 MS Society Muck Ruckus is coming soon - check back for photos!

  1. I love it! but of course, I love you guys too! :)

    And what do you mean, "almost any adventure"? I've never seen an impossible situation that could withstand either of you!

    Have a great time at the Mud Run!!

    1. I have to say "Almost". Otherwise, it's like I'm volunteering her (or ME) to do something crazy!

  2. Can I give you cash next week in support of the Mudrun (or a check) or do I have to donate online?

    Great photo of the two of you, btw!

    1. I can't wait to see you next week!

      And yes, MS Society sent me a nice donation envelope, so online isn't the only way to support the cause :-)

    2. I'm not sure when the money is due by - it might be best to do it online if possible. Usually run packets are to be picked up that Thursday before the race. ;)
      Thank you so much for your support, Mary!!!!

  6. So, I think it goes without saying that this post totally made my day. I consider myself extremely fortunate who has a friend to share such awesome adventures with and who I can look forward to sharing even MORE awesome adventures with. One never knows where the wind will take CB and HB. MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

    Thank you for the wonderful start to my day and for a wonderful, wonderful friendship. We're going to ROCK that Mud Run!
