It was my first visit to The Ripped Bodice, a romance-forward bookstore in Culver City, California. Any employee pointed me toward a book called A Study in Scarlet Women by Sherry Thomas. It was the first in a new Sherlock-Holmes-inspired series. “This is one of our most popular books,” the helpful clerk told me. Maybe I presented as a prude. In the years of avid patronage that have ensued, I have never — NEVER — acquired any book from The Ripped Bodice that contained less “romance” than the Lady Sherlock series. But the clerk had merely told me that it was a bestseller, and that had been, simply, a fact.
Hi Marissa! I'm not a newsletter person normally but I really love Metaforia. It has great variety and heart to it, and your writing style is so wonderful. You carry me along no matter what the subject. This one really tickled me and I loved 'Instead of sketches, we see photographs'. Hope you have a lovely day and looking forward to next week's! - CJ x

I think you could do spec-script bodices in your sleep. And Sherry would love them.
