She's So the One by Belle Rose

If, I ever thought that once our book was written, we'd all congratulate ourselves on a job well done and live happily ever after, I was wrong. 

Having spirited, that is not to say, Carthaginian, disagreements was to be expected when four people with very disparate personalities are trying to focus on a single project. Most of them were resolved, but that does not mean that everyone was happy. 

     Even the title was in dispute for years, practically right up until you could buy the book on Amazon. The title I liked best was a spin-off of an old book, Naked Came the Stranger, published in 1969 by "Penelope Ashe." A satire poking fun of American culture, it was touted as the "Dirtiest Book Ever Written by a Group of Newspaper Guys." The newspaper was Newsday, and "Penelope Ashe" turned out to be 25 guys. I was very young at the time, but old enough to read. What I remember mostly was that ice cubes were used in a provocative fashion.  

     Our book was going to be called, Naked Came the Chick-lit Man. There was a naked man, and he was quite attractive to be sure, but the last we saw him in print (if not in the flesh), he was supplying a vending machine with Chiclets. I have no idea why he was fired from the script, but maybe one of the Anonymouses can fill you in. And who knows? We may see him again. For having finished the story, we are not in complete agreement about the blog.

     Stay tuned.
