Book Signing for "Pillow Talk"

Hi all, Trixie here.

Ruth and I had a wonderful book signing yesterday! Several people bought books, a bunch of friends and family stopped by, and Ruth even had a surprise visit from her brother and sister-in-law. A good friend took pictures of the signing, so hopefully some may turn up on Facebook soon.

Thanks so much to everyone who stopped by. It was a blast! And for anyone who wanted to make it but couldn't, don't worry, there are still copies at Hastings Bookstore in Richmond. Also, Ruth will have books at the Christmas Village at the Kuhlman Center in Richmond, Indiana on Friday Nov. 12th, and Saturday, Nov. 13th. And you can also order them online at

Until next time,

Who Knew Dentists Were Such Good Kissers?

Trixie here, hope all my readers are doing okay! When you read "Pillow Talk", you'll see what I mean about dentists and kissing. Dr. Graham Keebler is...amazing, stupendous, perfect. And I'm really not exaggerating. Really! I've never been in love before, and people always say you'll just know. They were right. When you know, you know. There's no doubt Graham's the one for me. Now just to figure out how all the tooth fairy stuff fits in. I know, I said it would never work, and I still don't see how it will. But, it's Mr. Amazing we're talking about here. It has to work. It just has to!!! If any of you have any ideas for me, leave a comment and Ruth will get them to me.

Thanks!

Trixie

Blog Tour is Over, But Trixie is Back!

Okay...I know I've been very busy supervising Ruth Hartman's book, "Pillow Talk" during its blog tour, but I'm back now. It's been quite a busy few weeks, that's for sure! I'm exhausted from spending time at a different person's blog every day. It was fun, though, and the people who hosted us were so nice.

Now where were we? Right. I was telling you about my fantastic date with Graham Keebler. He's so sweet. So handsome. So...perfect. Sigh. And therein lies the problem.

You see, as wonderful as he is, and as our date was, it hit me that it can never be, Graham and me. How could it? He can never know I'm a tooth fairy. I'm not supposed to tell anyone. Not that he would believe me anyway. And I couldn't go all through life in a relationship with him and not tell him something that important. That's not me. I wouldn't want to live a lie. So, I told him it was over. He's not taking it well, though. For that matter, neither am I. I'm miserable. What's a tooth fairy who's in love with her dentist supposed to do?

The Dating Lives of Dentists

Hi, Trixie here:

Okay, I told you that my new dentist Graham Keebler was gorgeous, right? Well guess what? He just called me and asked me out!! I can hardly believe it! He has to go to a family member's wedding and he needs a date. And he chose me! Now that I've calmed down a little...(well, I know it doesn't seem like I'm calm, but you should have seen me an hour ago) I need to focus on the really important question. The question every woman asks herself when she's getting ready to go on a date with her potential Prince Charming. No, the question isn't "What will we talk about on the date", or "Will I make an imbecile out of myself on front of him" or even "Will he kiss me?", although that would be VERY nice!! No, the all important question on every woman's lips is..."What am I going to WEAR!!!" I'm experiencing a fashion emergency here. Help!!!

Molar Woes

Trixie Trident here...

You will not believe what just happened to me! I crunched down on a French fry and broke my back tooth! I'm not sure what was in there, but whatever it was, did some damage. Just great. Now I'll have to find a dentist. Not only do I not want to go hunting for one, I don't even like hanging out with dental humans. At all. You see, they don't believe in the tooth fairy. So where does that leave me? Because that's what I am. I'm not sure where they think little kids get all that money, but it's not from the Easter Bunny! That fat rabbit wouldn't give you the time of day, much less hop in someone's window and leave cash. We have a history, you see...but that's a story for a different book.

Whatever dentist I find, he or she better be quick at fixing teeth, because  I don't want to spend any more time than I have to in the presence of a tooth fairy non-believer.

I'll keep you posted about my dental appointment. Although, aside from getting my molar repaired, I can't see anything good coming from the visit.

Jewelry by Day...

Hi, It's Trixie again.

Ever walk along the sidewalk and see a penny? Ever take a walk in the woods and notice acorns or tiny smooth rocks? Most of you might just step over these items, or even on them, Heaven forbid. For me, though, I'm always on the hunt for such treasures. These are some of the things I use to create my one-of-a-kind bracelets, necklaces and earrings. And maybe the occasional pin, if the mood strikes.

You see, I needed a day job. Yes, I'm a tooth fairy, but I can only do that after dark. People might frown on a woman climbing in a kid's bedroom window at three in the afternoon. And besides, stealing teeth pays nothing. And I have to pay my rent and buy cat food, you know? Otherwise my spoiled cats might...well, we won't go there for now. Let's just say there would be growling and thrashing tails if I came home without their supper. And nobody wants that!

I have a small shop in town. It's not much, but it's all I need for now. I'm not very well-known yet, business-wise, so my money has to stretch really far. My best friend, Julie, works there with me. I make the jewelry and she does all the advertising, pays the bills, and does most of the sales work. I love making jewelry! I just wish we had a few more customers.

Well, better get back to the bottlecap earring I'm painting. See ya later!

Trixie Trident - Tooth Fairy Extraordinaire

Hi Humans,

My name is Trixie Trident. I'm a tooth fairy in the story, "Pillow Talk." Although you wouldn't know I'm a tooth fairy just by looking. I'm the same size as an average human woman. No wings. And I definitely won't be wearing a tutu any time soon! That's not a good look for anyone, know what I mean? The writer of my story, Ruth J. Hartman, asked if I would mind telling you a little about myself. So for a while, I'll be doing her blog posts.

By day, I make handmade jewelry. I have a knack for looking at something ordinary, like a button, or an acorn, and creating a one-of-a-kind piece of wearable art. And I do enjoy doing that. But my night job is my passion. Climbing in windows to steal exfoliated teeth from little kids is what I live for. But being a tooth fairy isn't something you can fill out a resume for, or apply for online. No, being a TF is something you're born with. And I was fortunate enough to get the gift.

I love all of my little dental charges. They are all unique. But there's this one kid, little Timmy Westfellar. He loses so many teeth, his mouth will be bald by the second grade. I'm getting kinda tired of climbing in that particular window. I keep thinking one of these days, I stop getting my night-time calls from my supervisor to go to his house. But for now, to Timmy's house I'll go...
