I have a great idea to get publicity for True Blue Forever, but we have to keep it just between us, so mum's the word!
I'm going to stage the kidnapping of my son TJ (a dead-ringer for Billy Joe, one of my characters) by a crazed Billy Joe fan! Picture this: a nationwide campaign to help me find my baby boy, with plenty of televised tearful pleas by yours truly.
Toyce on the Today Show with Katie Couric:
"Oh, Katie, I'm just so distraught over the thought of my poor TJ being subjected to the amorous advances of a psychotic teenaged girl! If I'd known something like this would happen, I would have never written this book (holds copy aloft for the camera) True Blue Forever, available from Authors Ink Books, Amazon.com, BarnesandNoble.com, or through your favorite bookstore. I just want my precious son back unharmed! Is that too much for a mother to ask?"
Then, just as the FBI converges on the remote cabin where TJ has been located through a clever message he manages to send via homing pigeon, the "culprit" escapes through the back door, never to be caught, and TJ is found tied to a chair, covered with lipstick kisses, and wearing a big smile.
It can't fail, folks! TJ will become the next teen idol, he'll be a shoo-in for the role of Billy Joe in the True Blue Forever movie that Ron Howard directs and Madonna produces featuring her song "True Blue," and my book will be off the charts in sales!
But remember...this is a secret, so don't tell anyone!

Joyce,
I think you mis-read my advice on another thread. I said, take two shots of bourbon, not two quarts.
Get help, Joyce, before it's too late.

Joyce -
You might want to get Ed North to track down the culprit.

Noah Winter would be up to the task -- either smiling, tied to the chair, or bringing the kidnapper, that lovely kidnapper, to justice.http:// |

ROTF!

*LA has cracked under the stress of the day. The role of LA will now be played by her doppleganger, strangely enough, also named LA. This one has an evil glimmer and a forked tongue. Be on guard at all times against the hypnotic stare.*
Ssssssso Joycccce. Jussst where wass it you wanted that ssssssson of yourssss taken to? *muah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
+_+_+_+
Um.....yeah.....our station is currently experiencing technical difficulties. Please stand by.
(cheesy elevator music---sadly, you recognize most of this from your favorite youthful station and realize that you are now officially...old...)
Hey, Joyce, one of my daughters has volunteered to assist in the plot. I told her no. She doesn't have her license yet. I don't know how well TJ would take top being adbucted on horseback.

He's a Ford man, so as long as it's a Mustang, he'll love it!
Was that "The Love Boat" playing during the break?
