This week my teaser lines come from Garrison Keillor's novel, Liberty -- one of his Lake Wobegon tales. This snippet comes from page 184:
Irene didn't intend to kill Clint, just bring him to his senses. It was time he learned: You can't have everything. Take your choice. Make a life with me or get a bellyful of hot lead.That sounds a little more violent than the usual Garrison Keillor offering, but I'm pretty sure Irene isn't going to do any real harm to ol' Clint. Well, almost pretty sure anyway.

Gosh -- Keillor gone violent!
ReplyDeleteUh-oh, hope he learned his lesson! Thanks for sharing...and for visiting my blog.
ReplyDeleteIt does sound more violent! Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't want the "bellyful of hot lead." No way.
ReplyDeleteIt does sound a little violent! Someone gave me a couple of Lake Wobegon books a few years ago, but I haven't got around to reading them yet. Maybe this summer. Thanks for your comment earlier. Enjoy your reading.
ReplyDeleteI've yet to read anything by this author, but from what I've heard on the radio I think he'd be hilarious!
ReplyDeleteI've read other Garrison Keillor books and enjoyed them, and I'm sure this one would be no exception. Just because a character is thinking something doesn't mean she'll actually do it -- usually!
ReplyDeleteHere's my teaser: Sandy's Teaser
What a teaser! Sounds great!
ReplyDeleteGreat teaser, sounds like a good one!
ReplyDeleteI love Garrison Keillor and listening to Prairie Home companion. Lake Wobegone is one of my favorite places, but I read one of his books a few years ago and it didn't 'gt' me like listening to him. Maybe I should try again:)
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool sounding book - great teaser and love the cover.
