IF I COULD BE ANYONE ... for Talli



Let us all support Talli Roland and her new book, WATCHING WILLOW WATTS :

http://talliroland.blogspot.com/p/watching-willow-watts-launch-sept-14.html

No surprise from me. If I could be anyone, I would be Samuel McCord, lost love and cursed blood and all. He's braver than I am, wittier, and has a haunted jazz club.

How cool is that?

My favorite quote from him is :

"I move in all kinds of circles, meet all sorts of people.

I learned engraving from a counterfeiter,

accounting from a swindler.

A succubus once tried to teach me the tango.

But nothing doing. I didn't have the hips for it."

  3. Hi,

    Figures! Ha ha, I wish I'd laid a bet on this... He's scrumptious!! ;)

    Make sure no one spikes your drink 'cos there's a lot of women around who'd like to get a chunk of Sam!

  6. ...he boasts of Eastwood's grit, Jackman's masculine charm, Owen Wilson's inadvertent sensitivity, armed with Roland's creative wit...yep, Sam's the choice ;)

    Onward, Ms. Talli! And a hearty congrats to the newest release. Wishing you all the best of sales!

  10. Hilary :
    My internet keeps fritzing out on me - darn it. Thanks for visiting.

    Flying high in the sky :
    Yes, that quotes always makes me smile. Especially since Sam studied for over a 100 years to be the best dancer he could so as not to shame his wife on the dance floor -- and to be able to hold that close in public! LOL.

    Sarah :
    Sigh. I guess Sam is my alter ego. And he at least the beautiful woman of his dreams ... for a time.

    Francine :
    Luckily, like Sam, I do not drink -- we both get into enough trouble sober!! Thinking of me drunk has made many a drinking friend of mine take another drink -- or so they claimed!

    Wendy :
    Isn't that a great picture for Sam - ever in the shadows, ever alone, ever keeping an eye out on the French Quarter he has come to love.

    Kitty :
    I'm glad you liked my surprise. And I guess I put a lot of myself into Sam.

    Elliot :
    Sam tips his Stetson to you ... and to Talli. Here's joining you in wishing her the higest sales ever. Roland

    Summer :
    Although I wrote it, that quote still makes me laugh. Sam insists he gave it to me, not the other way around! LOL.

    Denise :
    In my fantasies I am Sam. LOL.

    Cherie :
    That embodies everything that Sam is : ever growing, ever learning, ever open to whomever will be his friend ... and ever with his tongue planted firmly in his cheek, Roland

    Thanks, Heather :
    I'm heading over to your blog now.

    Jo :
    I think Clark might have something to say about that! LOL.

  14. Fantastic choice, Roland. I love the quote!
