By Danna Beedle, from Maddie Day's Country Store Mysteries - with a giveaway!
Hi, you guys. My boss Robbie Jordan said our author told her it was my turn to talk over here. Whatevs. So I've been working for Robbie since last fall. I was super lucky to fall into a cooking job. I love making food, like, above all else.
My mom, who happens to be the mayor of South Lick, Indiana where we live, really wanted me to go to college after high school. But I was so not into that, you know? Robbie had hired an assistant for her new breakfast and lunch restaurant - and it's super cool, in an old country store she fixed up herself - but the jerk quit before opening day. When I saw Robbie's Craigslist ad, I was all over it and she hired me on the spot.
Usually I'm the one who comes up with the special of the day. Me and Robbie and our other cook, Turner, we alternate cooking, busing tables, taking orders, and cleaning up. Robbie's like really good at doing as much grunt work as we do.
But I'll tell ya, somehow she keeps getting mixed up in these murders. It's kinda creepy, but it turns out she's good at solving them. I keep hoping some of that will rub off on me. Being a cook AND a PI? What an awesome life that would be.
Hey, catch ya later. Stay cool, dudes and girls.

So who should play Robbie? She's like five four, with black curly hair, has really strong legs, kind of curvy in her hips. Not skinny, but not fat, either. Fun!
So put your answers in the Comments and I'll see if I can help the author pick the winner tomorrow. Make sure you include your email address so she can reach you (yeah, I know, that's so dinosaurish, but hey, it works).

Mila Kunis could do. She would have to have her hair curled. She still looks quite young.
ReplyDeleteI am not sure how tall she is but Olivia Munn might be good, also need some curls.. Thanks for the chance to win!

ReplyDeleteI am always so bad at this game! If we can pick anyone, how about someone like Lea Michele from an old tv show?
ReplyDeleteThanks!

I think Sarah Hyland from Modern Family. Can't wait to read this one, have loved them all.

I think Jennifer Love Hewitt could do it.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your release Edith. I am truly looking forward to getting this book. I love this series, but since I rarely go to the movies and don't watch many (like none) sitcoms more than once if that, I honestly could not think of anyone who could play this role of Robbie. But I hope that Hallmark Mysteries picks this series to be made into tv movies to find out who they would choose.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the chance to win a copy of Biscuits and Slashed Browns.
Best of everything.
Cynthia B.
If I were to win, here is my info. that I neglected to add.

Thank you.
If she dyed her hair, Kristen Bell would be perfect. My guilty pleasure was Veronica Mars! bobwiesmann (AT) gmail (DOT) com.
ReplyDeleteDon't know the character well enough to make a suggestion.

Ok. I'm binge reading this series. Almost finished with #2 - "Grilled for Murder". Would love to have #4 ready to go after I finish #3. I think Anna Kendrick would make a good Robbie. She might be a little shorter than Robbie, but she could pull it off.

I was thinking Jenna Dewan Tatum and I see someone above thinks so too, lol.
ReplyDeleteOops, email is [email protected]. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI immediately thought of Pauley Perrette for you and let's transform Emma Stone for Robbie.

Pauley Perette would be an excellent choice! [email protected]
ReplyDeleteI would love to see Pauley Perette. She plays such a great character on NCIS and I'm sure she would fit right in. robeader53(at)yahoo(dot)com
