MORE BIKINI! #3 Heather Brewer

Strangers Have the Best Candy


I've always been fascinated with mysterious strangers—strangers, after all, have the best candy. So it's not really surprising that my books tend to feature them. And no matter the genre, the mysterious stranger tends to often be there, intriguing us to learn more about who they are, about where they fit in. You never know whether the stranger is the love of the protagonist's life or the end of their life. It's that shadow, that mystery that draws us to them. And mystery, I like to think, is a large part of what makes a story worth reading.


It is no mystery, however, that Linda Gerber's DEATH BY BIKINI is a debut worth celebrating. It looks to be chock full of twists and turns (not to mention a rockstar's strangled girlfriend…strangled with a bikini top, I might add). And it is my absolute honor to raise a sandy glass in celebration. Way to go, Linda!

If you'd like to win a copy of my most recent book, NINTH GRADE SLAYS (the second book in The Chronicles of Vladimir Tod series), just leave a comment answering me this: if you were to murder someone on a beach, what would you use as a weapon?

Hi Heather!

I don't know if I'd strangle a stranger with my bikini top.

I do carry snorkling gear with me when I go to the beach, maybe the tube can be a weapon.

Hugs, Danette

The only thing I can think of to use is netting from a volleyball net. Looking forward to your latest.

Amy Dupire said...

I'd slay them with my killer good looks!

I think I'd have to reach for an umbrella, it would probably work better than trying to beat someone over the head with a water noodle which is what first came to mind ;-)

The Book Muncher said...

i would never strangle anyone with my bikini top (that would require taking it off, and i dont think i wanna do that). maybe if i found a large piece of driftwood...

tryxie31 said...

well, i couldn't do the bikini thing ( that actually happened at Clemson University not too long ago - which is right down the road from where I live - YIKES ) but i think i'd have to use a jagged sea shell to slice and dice the throat of my victim

Kelly Parra said...

Eek! Don't know. haha! I like Amy Dupire's answer--lol!

I would use seaweed. It would be impossible to find the murder weapon. ;)

My umbrella. :)

Ginger said...

Hhhmmm...great question. I think I'd smother/gag my victim with sand. I don't think that would leave fingerprints.

Another great cover. Love the constast of color.

paperxxflowers said...

hmm... I like the seaweed and sand ideas that were already brought up. Maybe if I had a book big enough I could beat them to death. lol

RR2 said...

hmm...i don't know...maybe a towel?

Lis said...

Hmmm, this one takes some thought. maybe club someone with one of those metal detectors people bring to the beach?

Shooting Stars Mag said...

Oh wow! Interesting question..let me see..let me see..

The umbrella really is a good idea..or the towel, because it would work like the bikini, but yes, without having to take anything off.

You could throw sand in their eye and then strangle them?

Lenore said...

How about dig a hole and cover it with palm fronds and then get them to chase you and fall in. Then it's self defense and not murder!

Breanna said...

Hmm maybe like a wine glass or something. Previously smashed of course so you'd have sharp pieces of glass to use, lol.

I put too much thought into this.

Thanks for the contest!

Amanda Ashby said...

I would use my telekinetic powers to make sure a coconut fell on their head.

Bunny B said...

Hmmm... tough question. Like Amy, I'd kill them with my sensual seduction. LOL

softindierocker said...

I would use my picnic basket (loaded with bricks of course) and hit them in the head! =)

Tez Miller said...

Whack someone over the head with a surfboard, then bury them completely in sand.

This topic's somewhat morbid ;-)

Have a lovely day! :-)

Cara King said...

I'd offer to half-bury them in sand, and take one of those funny photos...

Then I'd really bury them in sand. It would be just one more of those probably very common "the victim was found accidentally drowned in sand" occurrences... ;-)

Book~Adorer said...

Hmmm. I'd probably look for a beer bottle of broken soda can to use. I see those on the beach all the time, not good but its the truth. I guess it would be weapon of convenience.

Reviewer X said...

Well, if I choked them, there wouldn't be much of a weapon to hide, eh? But if I used gloves, I'd probably stash them, well, in the ocean. And I know that would put the ocean's animals in danger because if the latex gets stuck to them, they could be unable to breathe, but hey, I'd be a killer--I wouldn't care.

(Fictional, of course!!)

hi auntie

u rule! :)=

Andy said...

a random sand bucket id find on the beach. tehres always one there

Kat said...

If I were to kill someone at the beach I would mix a poison that can leech in through the skin into the sunblock.

Parker said...

I would use the spike on a surf board(on the bottom) ans slice them open and stuff. Yea. And if that doesn't work, then i'd whack em' with it.

Parker

Dominique said...

I'd just bury them in the sand except for their head and feet...and tickle them to death ;)

erm, I just can't imagine having the sudden urge to do someone in on the beach! I think I'd rather play some volleyball or go for a dip in the water! :)

Reader Rabbit said...

I'd use my flipflops to beat the sense out of them and then strangle them with my towel!

Heather Brewer said...

You people are all delightfully twisted. Fangs for entering, Minions! :)=

Rachel said...

Auntie,
Hey wats up??? I feel lonely too don't worry.so i wud love to win the shuffle omg i need one soooo bad i have way too many songs on my mp3. so wow i dont know what else to say so i guess talk to u later and darn at me for not being able to read TGB yet

Froze8 said...

I think I would just kill the person with my hands ^^;...

xxpretend_with_mexx said...

Ooh! I was talking about killing my nemesis at school today. Very appropriate, I know. :D
So, in P.E. I said I would chop the person up and pour their remains in an ocean and wait for a fish to eat them. Then another fish would eat it so my nemesis would be eaten twice. And it'd basically go on and on until I send someone to go fishing and, because things always go my way in my mind, they'd catch the last fish to eat them. Then they'd eat that fish, who has a whole entire human in them!
...
I think I just grossed myself out. Imagine eating a fish and finding, like, a human eye or an ear or something. *gag*
I'm done here.
