Angie Fox won an Smart Bitch Interview in the Brenda Novak Diabetes auction, prompting me to freak the hell out because dude, I don’t know of a single question that would adequately measure up to the bid she made to fight diabetes and be interviewed by yours truly. So first and foremost, thanks to Angie for supporting a great cause, and giving me an inferiority complex that is barely contained by my undershorts. Onward to the interview!
Sarah: Ok, the obvious part! Pimp your book in a handful of words!
Angie:Newly anointed with demon-fighting powers and suddenly able to hear the thoughts of her hilarious Jack Russell terrier, a preschool teacher finds a whole new world of dark and dangerous, including a sexy shape-shifting griffin she’s not entirely sure she can trust.
My name is Rubber Neck Reba Fancy Pants. And my pants might be fancy, but you won’t find me rubber necking- I’ll be flying by too fast to care! :P
Yes please.
Signed,
Hog Wild Harriet Steel Butt
I’m not sure about this. Can steel butts have still have cellulite?
My name is Hog Wild Harriet Uni-Brow and this interview has left me dead curious, another book on to go on the must get list. *sigh*
OK, this sounds hilarious. I’ll have to get it for my mother; she has a Jack Russell terrier that she adores.
-Liz
book13—how approprite is that?
I adore my biker witch name - Easy Edna Flat Foot.
I am laughing before I even get to read the book. Count me in!
This book just went on my TBR list. It sounds like such a kick in the pants.
Your Truly
Mosquito Bite Marcie Pothole Jumper
Leggy Lucy Hard Rider here. This sounds like a fun book. I’m a sucker for a clever dog!
Kathy
Looney Libby Pothole Jumper. I’m apparently your sister, Sarah. Or maybe third cousin once removed who turns out to be the villainess?
Another “Rubber Neck Reba No Pants” here….
What a fun interview! This book sounds like a scream. Sign me up for the drawing, please . . .
Luv,
Looney Libby Steel Butt
This sounds great…Sounds like it will be a fun read…
Signed,
Spaghetti Neck Stella No Pants
(is that pants as in trousers or pants as in underwear…oh, this could go so wrong so quickly)
Pretzel Legged Peggy Windy Pants
Wtf??? I am not pretzel legged!
I’m not even going to mention the ending part of the name…
Pretzel Legged Peggy Steel Butt-proud memeber of the Butt Clan, I guess. There’s a joke in there somewhere, it’s just too early to get it out.
LOL, another fun interview Angie! Excellent!
Don’t sign me up for the draw - I already read (and enjoyed very much) The Accidental Demon Slayer - you guys are in for a treat.
The geriatric witches , the talking dog, the fact that Lizzie is incapable of cursing because she is a pre-school teacher , all makes for a very fun read.
Sounds awesome.
Signed
Linda the Lush Fancy Pants
Lust Lucinda Flat Foot would dearly love to read this story!
Srsly!
kthx!
Fast Frankie Bumpy Pants here saying maybe I need to work on the Bumpy Pants bit. But if I read this book, I might just laugh my butt off, making the pants a wee bit less bumpy? Works for me.
Linda the Lush Fast Pants is putting this in her TBR pile. This sounds freakin hilarious :)
low97 - Are these pants supposed to do that ?
Ooh, WANT. This book sounds *awesome*—and so does Angie, actually. I’m definitely putting this on the “buy ASAPATDID” (that’s “as soon as possible after the dissertiation is done”) list.
-Candy Knickers Pothole Jumper
(Candy Knickers!!)
Two Date Tessa No Brakes
Errrr ... Well, that’s interesting. *Raises eyebrow* Does the “No Brakes” refer to the biker part of this name or the “Two Date” part ... or do I want to know?
hilarity! My parent Jack Russell would have been a biker dog but instead he had to settle for a Jeep and a Tractor
Spaghetti Neck Stella Steel Butt
Steel Butt, Iron Butt - really, what’s the difference?
Fast Frankie Windy Pants.
I seem to have some relatives here. Hilarious interview, too.
Don’t enter me in the drawing. I’ve got a kid w/ Type 1. I’ll buy the book. Thanks for supporting the auction.
This sounds hilarious
Yours,
Two Date Tessa Lug Nut
aka Natasha
Ooo, I’ll play! The book sounds fun, fun, fun. :)
And my name?
Owl Eyed Olive Steel Butt—LOVE it.
Lusty Lucinda Flat Foot here and I would love to read this book! Ms. Fox’s “voice” in the interview made me want to read her author “voice”!
I think this sounds great. I am going to have to hunt this one down.
Your Friend
Mantrap Marcie Bumpy Pants
Candy Knickers Hard Rider
And my first thought was “wouldn’t that be kind of sticky?” I suppose it’s better than Hard Candy Knickers Rider.
I really want to read this book now—it sounds like the perfect thing to take my mind off of my dissertation.
Mine is Candy Knickers Pothole Jumper. And now all I can imagine is a pair of edible undies jumping over a pot hole.
That sounds hilarious! I would love to read that book.
Yours,
Leggy Lucy Hard Rider
I need to read this book more than I need to breathe. It sounds right up my alley. Unfortunately, my husband has placed a book-buying moratorium on our house ever since he realized that I spent $70 on books last week. Oops.
PICK ME!
If the interview made me grin, the book itself is a definate must read.
And so says Lusty Lucinda Windy Pants.
(I might use that as a pen name.)
The Accidental Demonslayer sounds fantastic!
I’m definitely putting this on the “buy ASAPATDID” (that’s “as soon as possible after the dissertiation is done”) list.
You’re far more disciplined than I am, Snarkhunter ... sorry, Mz Candy Knickers. I don’t even have a ASAPATNCOTDDID (as soon as possible after the next chapter of the dratted dissertation is done”) list. :)
Cheers,
Skullcap Sue Wheelie-Gig
Defintely a must-read. And please refer to me as Mantrap Marcie Wheelie-Gig from now on! Thanks for the great interview!!
Loser Lucy Four Wheels is my name.
Ok, not really, but it fits. The book sounds great! Must get.
Dude! Very interested. I’m Skullcap Sue Flat Foot, which might me more accurate if I didn’t have ridiculously high arches . . .
Also, I want to be a geriatric biker witch. With a dog.
Mosquito Bite Marcie Bumpy Pants here just popping in to say hi to all my fellow Bumpy Pants and I want that book!
Candy Knickers Pothole Jumper
Looks like a fun book!
This sounds like a fun book.
Signed,
Hog Wild Harriet Uni-Brow
Hey, Angie. Fellow RCRW here. What an inspiring story about finding your voice. From the excerpt, I can see why the editor snapped it up. In a week! Sweet.
Spaghetti Neck Stella No Brakes
You’re far more disciplined than I am, Snarkhunter ...
Hah! Not really. But I am turning the thing in to my committee in two weeks—and all of next week I’m going to be at Dickens Camp. So I basically have like 3 days in which to finish. Fortunately, I am (mostly) done. Just down to the tinkering and the [insert long stream of very, very creative foul language here] introduction revisions and conclusion.
Because of frantic lack of time, I haven’t cracked a new book for fun in weeks.
Great interview. Sounds like a fun read.
Signed,
Buck Toothed Betty No Brakes
Ooh, sounds like a fun book. Though I heartily disagree with my biker witch name. Linda the Lush Uni-Brow. Nope, my brows are rather scrawny and no uni-brow in sight.
This book sounds like just the sort of pick me up I need. Also, I have a Jack Russell called Judy. That seals the deal, right?
Skullcap Sue Fast Pants
Rubber Neck Reba No Brakes
Oh the irony of needing to get my car inspected soon and being a No Brakes. *sigh* At least it’s more exciting than the last time someone gave me a ‘Reba’ nickname.
Excited about meeting Angie at Chick Lit & Chocolate in August!
I break my longtime lurking cover to report my name as Mosquito Bite Marcie Windy Pants. Infinitely better than my real last name, anyway…..
Veronica Windy Pants?
I want a book! Please!
Hugs and kisses ~
Lusty Lucinda Wheelie-Gig
Is a wheelie-gig a real object?
I’m cool with the Lusty Lucinda part tho!
Oh, this sounds like a Must Read. Please enter Two Date Tessa Lug Nut in the contest, although normally I answer to Chicklet.
KCfla!
You have my name. Gasp! Lets make a club!
Lusty Lucinda Wheelie-Gig
I am, quite appropriately, Chesty Drawers Fast Pants, and I am looking forward to reading Angie’s book!
Fortunately, I am (mostly) done. Just down to the tinkering and the [insert long stream of very, very creative foul language here] introduction revisions and conclusion.
Now I totally hate you. I still have another 100, or maybe 200 pages to go. *sigh* But hey, the dissertation is the perfect excuse to go on a research trip to London this autumn! :)
Good luck with your introduction and conclusion!
Sounds hilarious…we all knew that a toilet brush should be multi-purpose, right?
~Mantrap Marcie Lug Nut
You’re cracking me up here. I had no idea there were so many lusty women around here, not to mention those of you with steel butts.
So glad everyone is having fun with the quiz - it was a kick to write, as was the book. :)
My Biker Witch Name is Fast Frankie Fast Pants. A name my husband will definitely love….
Paranormal Romance is my favourite and this book sounds like a must read, combining humour with the most original demon fighting heroine I’ve heard of!! lol
And, with the addition of a dog as a sidekick which, I love (there are 3 living with me), the book is now on my TBR list. .
So, to Angie Fox I say - kudos!!!
Fast Frankie of the Steel Butt clan says count me in!
Leggy Lucy Bumpy Pants…heh, I am not so leggy, but I’m giggling so hard over the “bumpy pants” part…
Chesty Drawers Lug Nut here….
The book sounds great! I’d love to be in the drawing. :)
Candy Knickers Pothole Jumper… um…
anyway - it sounds like a great read and is now going on the pile
Thanks!
Oooh, must read!! I would love to win a copy of this one, but if not I am sure to put it on my must buy to read list!!
And my name is:
Mosquito Bite Marcie Steel Butt
Hmmm. “Mosquito Bite” used to be a derogatory name for the flat chested when I was a youngster, which I most decidedly am not..;)
And “Steel Butt”
. How I wish!!!
My husband is about to buy his first motorcycle, and I used to work for a Harley mag. Does that qualify? This book sounds like a scream!
-Spaghetti Neck Stella Steel Butt (I wish…I don’t think I’ve ever had buns of steel…)
Pretzel Legged Peggy Lug Nut
I love it!
Another Rubber Neck Reba Fancy Pants who would love to get hold of this book…
Hah! Not really. But I am turning the thing in to my committee in two weeks—and all of next week I’m going to be at Dickens Camp. So I basically have like 3 days in which to finish. Fortunately, I am (mostly) done. Just down to the tinkering and the [insert long stream of very, very creative foul language here] introduction revisions and conclusion.
You can also color me jealous, snarkhunter, both about the dissertation and the intriguing sound of “Dickens Camp.” Good luck with that stuff!
This sounds great. I love the food description of the book. Mmmmmm… it made me hungry.
I love the motorcycle topic. I’m more a sports bike fan, but harleys are cool too. Nothing better than riding on my hubby’s busa with him.
My name is apparently Mosquito Bite Marcie No Brakes. Interesting.
Two Date Tessa No Pants
Awesome sauce! This books sounds super good.
But hey, the dissertation is the perfect excuse to go on a research trip to London this autumn! :)
Ooh, now I’m jealous!! The most exotic location I got to visit for my research was the New York Public Library. Oh, and the Houghton up at Harvard. Exciting! (Actually, it was. I love libraries. But London! I’ve never been to England. And my dissertation is on 19th century British poetry!)
Owl Eyed Olive No Pants
I must now read this book.
Leggy Lucy Lug Nut in da house!!!
Oh! That sounds like a great book!
Please include me in the contest.
-Candy Knickers Bumpy Pants
My name is Mantrap Marcie Uni-brow.
. . . well, whaddaya know.
Crumple Toed Chessie Fancy Pants
That’s me! The last time I was on a motorcycle, I got road rash scars. Can’t wait to read how the pre-school teacher does on a bike. I’ll be looking for this one in the bookstore if I’m not lucky enough to win a copy.
Spaghetti Neck Stella Steel Butt
Wow I have always wanted a ridiculous number of contrived middle names.
Enter me in the contest please…
I wonder if there are any biker gangs that take their cats on the road. I am 90% sure I couldn’t sedate any of mine enough to get on a motorcycle, but there has to be some adventurous feline out there who would love to feel the wind in their whiskers.
I’m Looney Libby Lug Nut. What do you think the odds are I can actually convince the husband to start calling me that?
Oh WOW this sounds awesome. *grabby hands*
....apparently I am Chesty Drawers No Pants. WOO.
I’d definitely be interested to read some by Angie
Skullcap Sue Uni-Brow
That sounds attractive
Pretzel Legged Peggy Hard Rider-heh. I might actually use it in some social situation, if you want the truth.
And my dog totally wants to be a Harley Dog. Every time we pull up next to a biker at a stoplight, he practically hikes himself out the window to make friends. He’s not friendly to other car drivers, just bikers.
I wonder if he’s got a leather jacket in his closet or something….
Sounds like a very cool book. I’d love to read it!
Kerry, aka yet another Rubber Neck Reba Windy Pants
Sounds like fun, and I need fun!
Buck Toothed Betty No Pants
Ooh, ooh ooh! Pick me, bitches, I’m ever so smart!
—Skullcap Sue Wheelie-Gig
Hi Kaite - You might also want to check your dog’s closet for a pair of Doggles - that’s what they call those little biker goggles they make for dogs.
Ah, what one must research in the name of good reading…
Yes, please!
I’m Linda the Lush Hard Rider, apparently. How can I be lush and hard all at once? The imagination reels…
I always thought preschool teachers need to have more fun.
Crumple Toed Chessie Hard Rider - whatever that means
Oooh, wonderful interview, interesting and fun-sounding book! Add me into the contest as Skullcap Sue Wheelie-Gig. Awesome!
This book sounds right up my alley! Funny, bikers, demons, oh yeah, sign me up! If I don’t win I’ll buy it guaranteed.
Crumple Toed Chessie Wheelie-Gig
Lusty Lucinda Flat Foot. Nice alliteration—does it mean I can still wear my Birkenstocks?
This book sounds great, and the interview was a ton of fun to read. Ms. Angie Fox has a great “voice.”
I would love to have this book for my daughter-in-law-to-be (in eight days, wow); she’s a pre-school teacher and loves dogs.
Leggy Lucy Wheelie-Gig (c’est moi) would love a copy of this book. It sounds excellent, and it sounds like it was a blast to write.
My brother-in-law used to ride a Harley. I always thought he should get a sidecar for his dogs. Little did I know!
Buck Toothed Betty Hard Rider

I think they probably mean “lush”, as in “someone who drinks ALOT”. So, you’d be a hard-drinking, hard-riding Linda. Now, me, I’m Fast Frankie Steel Butt. (Obviously, nobody took a very close look at said butt before inducting me into the Steel Butt clan. I would think the Marshmellow Butt clan would have been much more appropo!)
As for the book, it sounds like lots of fun! *crossing fingers that my number comes up this time*
Easy Edna Fast Pants here lookin’ to score…a free book, that is.
Thankfully, I did not get stuck with a Uni-Brow or a Skullcap…poor Sugarless, she got both.
Just call me “Leggy Lucy No Pants” and sign me up!
The book sounds really fun, my biker name somewhat less so. I’m Owl Eyed Olive Bumpy Pants. It’s seriously time to lay off the chocolate when even the voices in the internets know about your cellulite.
What a neat interview. I love your story about how you started the novel too. I’m MOSQUITO BITE MARCIE POTHOLE JUMPER. Hmmm… I don’t have a mosquito bite just yet, maybe it’s forshadowing?
Skullcap Sue No Brakes here, heh.
Lusty Lucinda Fast Pants checking in - excellent interview - I love light hearted “laugh out loud” reading now and again so I’ll be sure to give Angie’s book a try! Will have to keep the book away from my two doggers though… I can’t have them getting ideas about riding on a bike with me ala Miz Gulch!
Mosquito Bite Marcie Wheelie-Gig wants this book!
Chesty Drawers Hard Rider…
Which is weirdly appropriate.
And I want this book!
Let me get this straight…
1. Demon slayer
2. Fun and funny dog
3. Quirky characters
I am sooooo there. Sign me up!
Love,
Chesty Drawers Lug Nut
Yes, it was good for me.
Leggy Lucy Wheelie-Gig
My biker name is Pretzel Legged Peggy Uni-Brow. I gotta say it feels authentic, if only because only bikers (or the guys I work with) would do such wacky things with hyphens.
Also, this series sounds like an incredible amount of awesome. When I go into the library to renew all of the books I’ve got out, I’m looking this one up.
apparently i’m
SPAGHETTI NECK STELLA WHEELIE-GIG.
i’m cool with that!
Okay, is it the Pants family, and each group gets an adjective to differentiate them?
And is the other Two Date Tessa No Pants my identical twin sister? And if I’m not wearing pants, how do I hold out for the second date?
But I am so in on this book, it sounds great!
I am Decidedly Intrigued.
—Looney Libby Lug Nut
I would love a copy of the book.
Thank you,
Mosquito Bite Marcie Wheelie-Gig.
spamword- police44. yeah.
oo, i want! looks like a lot of fun!
~Rubber Neck Reba No Brakes (wtf?) :-D
I am now Looney Libby No Brakes.
This book sounds like fun. Just what I’ve been looking for lately. Count me in!
That book sounds so damn funny! I’m gonna have to keep an eye out for when I make my next trip to the book store. Thanks for the entertaining interview.
This book sounds like a hoot. I can’t wait to read it.
Owl Eyed Olive Lug Nut. That’s good…right?
I heard about Angie’s book when I saw it on Preview on Dorchester and just been so looking forward to this! I read excerpt too from a promo and love the voice of the writing! This is going to be a great read. I’d love to be in the contest!
Hehe, I’m Buck Toothed Betty Fancy Pants! That was hilarious! I like that I got good pants :D
I got some good stuff from Brenda’s auction but, next year, I am so bidding on you guys! The interview was great. The book sound great. I want to learn to ride a hog (magic I already do) and teach my dog to ride. Yeah, magic hog riding grannies! Got to go look up my name next. Oh, and I hope I get a copy of that book by hook or by magic…..
I really really really want this.
I’ll get it one way or another.
-Mosquito Bite Marcie Wheelie-Gig
(Duplicates an earlier name, but that’s what I get for not getting there sooner. I like spamword “who69” better, lol.)
My new name is Pretzel Legged Peggy Fancy Pants
I can’t wait to get this book!
Hi there from Looney Libby Hard Rider! You can all just call me Looney….. scary thing is that my friends already do!!! It would be great to receive one of the copies….particularly as I’m one of the few (I think) that is not from the States and keep telling uni classmates etc about this fab site…. hint hint (nudge nudge wink wink).
Mine is:
Mantrap Marcie Windy Pants
I particularly like the Mantrap part, lol. This book seems right up my alley!
MANTRAP MARCIE FANCY PANTS
Hmmm… would I be wearing pants if I were a Mantrap? Not so sure.
I’d love to read The Accidental Demon Slayer!
I have *got* to read this book!
My name is Easy Edna Lug Nut.
Buck Toothed Betty Fancy Pants
roflmfao I have to got read this one. Love the cover and this is too funny.
Oh, that is brilliant! I’m so getting this book.
Love,
Leggy Lucy No Brakes
I have to read this book! Lusty Lucinda Lug Nut is on her way to the bookstore. The Accidental Demon Slayer looks awesome, kudos!
And if you come late to the party you get named Lusty Lucinda No Pants .... and you love it.
Great interview and the book is on my to-buy list, thanks!
Mantrap Marcie Fast Pants here! I gots me the fastest pants in the West! Able to trip and tie up any man before he even thinks of making a fast getaway!
The book sounds like it’s right up my alley. I’m definitely going to want to pick it up!
Please pick me. I"m intrigued by the plot. CAnt wait to read it.
btw..my biker name is “Skullcap Sue Bumpy Pants ” ...hmm, I’m down with the Skullcap, but the worried about the bumps in my pants! haha
Owl-Eyed Olive Bumpy Butt. I think I resent that bumpy butt but hey.
The book sounds like great fun!
Yours truly,
LOONEY LIBBY FANCY PANTS ;-)

We'll text you when we have the location info, along with the password to enter The Digital Speakeasy.
I have to weigh in and vote with the “liked it even more than Talk Me Down” group. And I liked Talk Me Down a lot! I see the points Sarah made, but I guess they just didn’t bother me. …
What Andieg said. Only switch “grinning” for “giggling”—I am at work, so giggling is definitely out :)
Ooh la la! Probably just because I go to a women’s college, but that was WAY too much fun towatch…
A coworker sent me that video last week. I love it, and will adore Buffy and the whole Joss Whedon oeuvre until the end of time…

And Angel is SO much better than Edward in…
I’m SO looking forward to this. Thank you!
