@Susi_Sunshine Happy Birthday you Crazy Geeky Lover!

Today we are celebrating our fantastic Geeky Lover’s Birthday!! YAY Susi is turning…20 (we agreed on 20 right? lol) .  If you don’t know it already Susi (@Susi_Sunshine) is a twitter addict *hides from the rock throwing*, by that I mean that she’s often on twitter (for my very pleasure) but also that she loves to torture authors by adding a Twitter Style question in their interviews. *g*  So I thought it would be great to keep torturing people by asking her friends for Twitter Style birthday wishes. *yes I’m evil*.

Happy Birthday Susi!!

It’s Christmas Eve, and Grady Hobart is feeling anything but “nice.” Not only is he working the graveyard shift at the Traffic Town Truck Stop, but he hasn’t had a customer in over two hours! All that changes when a comely stripper from the Booty Barn strolls in, still in costume as Mrs. Nasty Claus, complete with a black lace thong, matching bra, sheer red cape and six-inch Lucite heels!

Unfortunately, Cherry isn’t there to tempt Grady with her feminine wiles; only to buy her nightly stash of lottery tickets, one more sucker hoping to strike it right with a little bit of luck—and a heaping …
