I was gonna wait for the paperback version... but I couldn't, so I bought the book yesterday. I got an email that it's on it's way. I also got: Don't Look Down & Flirting With Danger by Suzanne Enoch.... I thought, "Hey! Two books with the same name... $25 orders get free shipping... why the heck not?" Then I took a dive into the bargain section and added Freaky Friday for $2.69 Why not?

I'm confused, what is the meaning of this?

Meaning of what? I read about two writers (Writer's Digest - August 2006) who decided to write a book together. The guy writes the male characters, the gal writes the female characters. I checked out their website and blog, and discovered the lead female character is Lucy, her sister is Daisy, her ex-husband is Connor, and the friend of the lead male character is Rene.
The female writer does collages for her books, and Lucy was used as the image of the lead character, Lucy. I thought it was interesting and so I shared it with the other members here.

The 'He Wrote / She Wrote' Workshop blog will end the last week in December 2007, and it will be removed from the internet sometime in January 2008. Better save it in a Word Doc or as a PDF if you want to be able to study it after next year. They are still planning on turning it into a book at some point, and I will let everyone know when it's expected to be in bookstores.
