Six Sunday #10 On Lavender Lane sneak preview

So, having stood up for herself and negotiated very favorable divorce terms with her cheating French chef husband, who publicly humiliated her when his sex video went viral, Maddy has bought a bottle of champagne and taken it down the the beach, where she's well on her way to getting drunk because, as an actress stated in one of her fave '40s movies, there comes a time in every woman's life when the only thing that helps is a glass of champagne.

Watching whales from his cliffside house, Lucas spots her and informs Scout, the three-legged dog he brought back from Afghanistan, that they have a new rescue mission.

One commenter, chosen at random, will receive a copy of On Lavender Lane, which will be out January 3rd. The winner will be announced here, on twitter, and Facebook tomorrow. I'll also be posting news of a fun month long contest with the winner receiving a Nook Simple Touch, a Kindle Touch, or $99 gift certificate equivalent, so check that out.

Meanwhile, wishing everyone a fantabulous 2012! Enjoy:

"Old Acquaintance, 1943. Bette Davis said it to Miriam Hopkins when, at the end of the movie, after all those years of feuding, they're left with each other."

Toasting herself for recalling the line, she tossed back the champagne. "It was probably for the best, because if it has tires or a penis, it's just bound to cause you trouble."

"The tide's going to be coming in soon," a familiar male voice warned.

Speaking of penises. . .
