I'm just sneaking a few minutes to write this, folks, before I go haring off on a 12-hour night trip to the Cordilleras for a speaking engagement.

Since I never travel without at least one book in my baggage, the book I picked up at random to bring with me for the interim is Rita Mae Brown and Sneaky Pie Brown's "Murder, She Meowed," whence comes our teaser for today.

"The Queen of Spades." She whistled. "Lot of blood on this one."
"Spades, Coop-- the other card was clubs."
-p. 109, "Murder, She Meowed" by Rita Mae Brown and Sneaky Pie Brown

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

* Grab your current read
* Open to a random page
* Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
* BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
* Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!
