The heroine of my story, Genevieve Willis, is the new event coordinator for the Schultz Foundation, the part of the company that raises money for various area charities. Genevieve’s brilliant idea for this year’s annual fundraiser is a REGATTA, which everyone is on board with. Just looking at these pictures makes me happy. Sunshine and sailboats and family yachts, oh my!
I’ve never actually been to a regatta and whenever I hear regatta, I think of the episode of Friends, where Rachel makes up a story about going to a regatta gala. So, I guess those events in my book are sort of a nod to Friends in a way. 😉
Are you a Friends fan? What’s your favorite episode?
There are too many for me to list, but thinking about sailing, the episode where Joey buys the boat and Rachel tries to teach him to sail cracks me up.
Joey: “Who names their boat ‘Coast Guard’ anyway?”
Rachel: “That is the Coast Guard.”
Joey: “What are they doing out here? The coast is all the way over there.”
LOL!
Only six more days until the book releases! I got the paperback all formatted today, so that should be releasing right along with the eBook. I also woke up this morning with a scene playing out in my head for Book 2 – Gus’s book – so I quickly typed it out on my phone before I even got up so I wouldn’t forget. Ideas and scenes come at random times. My phone is my best friend. 😉
NOT THE BILLIONAIRE on Amazon!
