Check out this email I got yesterday! I love it!!
“Just wanted to write and say how much I love your soaps. After 31 years as a dedicated Ivory user, I’m totally hooked!
Please encourage Weaver Street Market in Carrboro to expand their selection so I can try everything. I would like to share an image of a recent painting I did, called “Really Nice Soap” that, while not literal, is strongly informed by my enjoyment of your products. Thanks, pfs”
So there is this mama friend of mine that I have known for ~2 years. Our girls are the same age and have been in play groups together. Well, yesterday we were talking about having time to ourselves to get work done and just be alone and I realized that I didn’t know what she did in her spare time. Boy was I in for a shocker! Turns out she is an erotic romance novel writer!! Her pen name is Silvia Violet (a perfect name for a romance writer, I think). Be forewarned, her stuff is very spicey!! Through her site, I found Selina Fenech’s site. She is only 24 years old but has amazing art skill! Really cool artwork!
How cool about the painting — that’s awesome! I had a coworker who wrote erotic fiction as well — I knew she was a writer but didn’t know what she wrote until I was leading an office workshop on web-searching and one of the activities was to “Google” yourself — I looked up everyone in the office before the workshop to make sure that everyone would get at least a few hits and that’s when I found out what kind of fiction she wrote. It wasn’t a secret…she writes under her own name. I just didn’t know. Sometimes you learn the most interesting things about people you’ve known for quite a while!
