Grab your beach towel and suntan lotion --

This is the beach read of the summer! If you love Janet Evanovich and Carl Hiassen, you will adore Bobbie Faye. This book made me laugh until I hurt. It's funny and exciting and romantic. Be sure you pick up your copy and read it -- you'll be glad you did.

Toni Causey's very (very, very, very) good debut

Bobbie Faye Sumrall is the type of gal a guy could really be attracted to--in the same way a moth is attracted to a flame. This tart-tongued Cajun's day starts out with the destruction of her trailer and with her accidental parcticipation in a bank robbery, and this is before things start going downhill. Bobbie Faye is Contraband Days queen, and at the center of this insane romp of kidnapping, intrigue, suspicion, threats, car chases, gunfire, voodoo and a string of utter disasters is Bobby Faye's homely tiara. Bad guys want it and will kill to get it, even though it seems to be worthless; Bobbie Faye won't give it up because it represents her family's highest achievement. Toni Causey's achievement is to pack so much disaster (and laughter) into a single day. Bobbie Faye's Very (Very, Very, Very) Bad Day is a lively, thoroughly enjoyable summer read.

Hello Bobby Faye. Watch out world.

The canon of southern literature has a new voice. It belongs to Bobby Faye Sumrall and she's mad as hell. Bobby Faye is a human disaster magnet. She shoots better than a man, swears better than a sailor, kicks... well, you don't want to know what she kicks, and she doesn't know why the universe keeps sending bad luck her way but she sure does believe the best defense is a good offense. Toni Causey's hilarious cast of characters will rock and blast you through the worst day on the planet. You'll love the ride. But most of all, youy'll love Bobby Faye for being cute and dangerous at the same time and for showing you that falling in love isn't an emotional experience, it's an endurance trial.
