I mean, she answered\u00a0ALL<\/strong>\u00a0my\u00a0STUPID QUESTIONS!!!<\/strong><\/p>\n Yeah, baby! It\u2019s Tiki Time!<\/p>\n 5. I think there is a book in this… Now, imagine you’re stuck on a deserted island after a three hour tour that goes awry. Name six people alive or dead that you’d like to be marooned with…and your fantasy castaway meal.<\/p>\n \u00a0You can find the wonderful Christine Nolfi here:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n1. Hi\u00a0Christine<\/span>, what’s your favorite cocktail? I’ll have the cabana boys whip one up for you while I ask you some stupid, I mean ridiculous… no, no, I mean very important questions.<\/div>\n<\/div>\nDirty martini, Grey Goose, blue cheese olives. Yum!<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n2. I adore blue cheese olives! What was your favorite toy growing up and do you still have it?<\/div>\n<\/div>\nMy favorite toy has always been the crazy grey matter swimming around in my skull. I can’t recall a time when I wasn’t cooking up stories. In childhood, I convinced the neighborhood kids that fairies left pots of gold hidden around the street–we merely had to find them. I also convinced myself I could fly, a la Peter Pan, and nearly leapt from Bobby Cooper’s treehouse on more than one occasion. I also convinced Bobby he could do the same. He grew up to become a fighter pilot; I’m still convinced I can fly, and have managed not to break my legs.<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n3. \u00a0I believe you can fly, too Christine! Do you have any weird writerly rituals? Do you need to burn candles or sacrifice virgins or anything before you start?<\/div>\n<\/div>\nOf course. The words won’t arrive unless I succumb to a high caloric feast, something like high-fat yogurt followed by the chocolate covered macadamia nuts my husband *thinks* he hides from me. This ritual is then followed by the afternoon ritual of working out at the gym, and wondering why so much of me jiggles when I run on the treadmill…<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n4. You’ve written two books about Lei Texeira now. And both are paranormals. Have you ever seen a ghost? Has she? Did either of you scream?<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\nI’ve seen a ghost and been saved by an angel but, sadly, no one has invited me on a TV show to chat about it. The ghost appeared at the bottom of the stairwell while I was caring for my grandfather as he neared death. No screaming, but I did quicken my pace. The angel–unseen but certainly felt–clamped a hand on my shoulder as I was driving toward a green light. I slammed on the brakes as a truck barreled through the red light.<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\nI’m marooned with Isaac Newton, Mahatma Ghandi, Shakespeare, my husband (for laughs), and authors Geraldine Brooks and Sue Monk Kidd. We keep the conversation flowing with lots of Starbucks, Francis Ford Coppola’s Sofia rose wine, lobster with drawn butter, grilled asparagus and red peppers, french bread and more lobster with drawn butter. Oh. And cheesecake for dessert.\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nThe Shell Seeker SYNOPSIS:<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\nIn South Carolina, there\u2019s more than magic in the air. Now policewoman Lei Texeira must solve the case of the Pirate Necklace.\u00a0<\/span>The famed emeralds, spirited in the 1700s from the pirate Blackbeard\u2019s ship, have been snatched once again. This time, the bling was taken from Marie-Therese Belvedere, a woman whose cruelty is only topped by her arrogance.\u00a0<\/span>Lei doesn\u2019t care for the icy socialite, but she feels an instant connection with the woman\u2019s stepdaughter. An unlucky star has followed Sydney Belvedere her entire life. If the necklace isn\u2019t found, she\u2019ll lose a treasure more dear than the finest gem.\u00a0<\/span>Only the magic of Lei\u2019s intuition stands between Sydney and unspeakable loss.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\nThe Shell Keeper SYNOPSIS:<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\nIn South Carolina, magic is as plentiful as sweet tea.\u00a0<\/span>Thanks to her aunt\u2019s unwanted generosity, policewoman Lei Texeira has embarked on a vacation\u2014of the supernatural sort. She\u2019s staying on the beach in a frothy mansion that resembles a baker\u2019s confection. Pixie, a Southern belle with enough bling to open a shop on Rodeo Drive, manages the place.\u00a0<\/span>When Pixie reveals a local woman reputed to have psychic powers wants to meet Lei, the invitation is anything but welcome.\u00a0<\/span>What Lei discovers about the sorcery of belief, and the love promised to her future will begin to heal wounds she\u2019s carried for far too long.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
