Wig Of Love

Let it be known that I make my living in book retail. I'm no longer a bookseller as I went cubicle bound many years ago. One of the benefits of my job (aside from glorious swag) is getting a heads up on titles long before they're released. One of my co-workers clued me in on the upcoming release from Mr. Bret "Friend To Bandanas Everywhere" Michaels. The title? Between a Rose and a Thorn

Oh yeah. Bret Michaels is going to use that whole Every Rose Has Its Thorn title to the death. Beyond death probably. How much do you want to bet that will be his epitaph? Since it's become so overused in the Bret Michaelsverse I thought I'd give him a hand and come up with some new titles for him...no need for thanks Bret, never having to hear or read a Rose/Thorn analogy from you again is thanks enough. So, without further ado...

Every Herpes Sore Has Its Ointment

 

Every Skank Has Her Lucite Heels

 

Every Wig Has Its Skull Rash

 

Every Bandana Has Its Hidden Bald Spot

 

Every Fame Whore Has Their Questionable Morals

 

Every Shot Test Tube Has Its….HIYO!

 

Every Moment of Fame Has Its Time Limit


Sadly there is no cover art yet. Today C and I speculated what it would look like. I'm wagering it will be totally Fabioesque. Bret and his wig and a breeze. 

What's really sad is that the publishing industry is in dire straights right now and a lot of publishers aren't taking manuscripts. This means that some really good literature is getting passed up for the likes of Bret "Wigzilla" Michaels. That's a shame.

I already requested an advance readers copy should one come through the office. What? My New Year resolution was to read more books.
