Alice Clayton

On the 11th Day of Wallbanger, my Alice gave to me…a bottle full of Simon flavored love!

Greetings pals and gals! I have missed you all so much, but while I have been a little radio silenced for a bit, I’ve been thinking about you. And writing you some smuttitty smut smut, so a thousand pardons. But do I have something fun for you today! Remember when Simon and Caroline made some Harvey Wallbangers? Well now you can have your very own version of the Simon Wallbanger cocktail. Hells yes you can! You can sip your Simon Wallbanger slowly, you can down him quickly and feel him warm you up. Ladies choice really.

The wonderful folks over at Galliano L’Autentico have not only agreed to give away (enter below) a bottle of the good stuff, their fantastic mixologist Anthony Pullen created just for you a new cocktail, the Simon Wallbanger. Here’s how you make him…err…it:

In an ice-filled Collins glass pour the following:

• 1.25 oz Galliano L’Autentico
• 2 oz Pineapple Juice
• Top with Sparkling Wine (try using Cali Champagne, since our boy Simon is now a California boy)
• Garnish with leaf from top of pineapple and serve
• *add a little more pineapple juice if you like a lighter taste

(Hint – You can also serve this in a punch bowl garnished with vanilla, orange peels, lemon peels and a little star anise.  This way you can share your Simon.)

How’s that for fantastic? Mr. Alice and I mixed up a batch of these one night while wrapping presents and mmmm. Lovely. Thank you so much again to the great folks over at Galliano, look for more exciting news about this partnership in the new year!

Tomorrow is the last day of #12DaysofWallbanger, and it’s a doozy. We’re giving away the one item that’s central to Wallbanger and the relationship between Simon and Caroline: a KitchenAid mixer chickens…dun dun dun. *cue dramatic lighting*

So make sure you come play tomorrow over on BrittanyHerself.com and get yours!

One last thing. Thank you. Thank you from the bottom of my tiny Grinch heart for the love and the silly you have poured out all over me and my brand of ridiculous. I can’t tell you what every review, every email, every tweet has meant to me. I hope you have a wonderful Holiday! I’ll be seeing you soon, with a Wallbanger outtake or two.

Hey everyone! Lots of exciting news and nonsense today, so let’s throw it all at the wall and see what sticks.

Only 2 weeks until you get your first taste of WALLBANGER. In the hopes that you get your copy on release day, I have an awesome giveaway! Purchase WALLBANGER (either Kindle, Nook, Kobo, or print form) on 11.27 and be entered to win a Kindle Fire. Just send a copy or screen pic of your receipt to enn [at] omnificpublishing [dot] com with the subject “WALLBANGER Receipt.” How great is that?!

Since we still have 2 weeks to go, I thought we could play a little game where you guys get to come inside my brain. Scary proposition right? Don’t worry, you won’t get lost. Not much up there but some old pictures of Jake Ryan and new shots of Michael Fassbender. Mmm, Fassbender…I digress.

I’m going to introduce you to the cast of WALLBANGER, and you get to try and figure out who I see in these roles. We’re gonna start with Simon, so let’s meet him finally, shall we?

Simon Parker.

He’s 28, travels the world as a photographer, makes a mean meatball, and has a killer sense of humor. Dark hair, wicked grin, tall and lean with speedbump abs. Outdoorsy and athletic, he’s got a soft spot (read: hard) for women of all shapes and sizes, and has a collection of old big band records.

To help you figure out who Simon is a bit, here’s a little taste of Simon and Caroline from WALLBANGER:

I shook my head at the sight of Simon in a black T-shirt and weathered jeans. He was in his stocking feet once again, and I marveled at how at ease he seemed in my kitchen.
I walked around the kitchen counter and picked up my rolling pin. “You know, I won’t think twice about whacking you over the head with this if you continue this borderline sexual harassment,” I warned, running my hand up and down the rolling pin suggestively.
“I’m gonna have to ask you not to do that if you’re serious about me peeling apples here,” he said, eyes widening.
“I never joke about pie, Simon.” I sprinkled a little more flour on the marble.
He was silent while he watched me pat out the pie crust, breathing through his mouth. “So, what are you gonna do with that?” he asked, his voice low.
“With this?” I asked, leaning over the board, and perhaps arching my back a little as I did.
“Mmm-hmm,” he replied.
“I’m gonna roll this crust out. See, like this?” I teased again, thrusting the pin back and forth over the dough, making sure I arched my back each time and the forward action pushed my girls together.
“Oh my,” he whispered, and I grinned naughtily at him.
“You gonna be okay over there, big guy? This is just the top crust, I still need to work on my bottom,” I said over my shoulder.
His hands clutched at the edge of the counter. “Apples. Apples. Gonna peel me some apples,” he told himself and turned away toward the colander filled with apples in the sink.
“Let me just get you the peeler,” I said, coming up behind him and pressing myself against him as I curled around his side to grab the vegetable peeler from the other sink. This was fun.
“Peeling apples, just peeling apples. Didn’t feel your boobs. No, no, not me,” he chanted as I openly laughed at him.
“Here, peel this,” I said, taking pity on him and removing myself from his cooking space. I might have sniffed his T-shirt.
“Did you just sniff me?” he asked, keeping himself turned away.
“I might have,” I admitted, going back to my rolling pin, which I squeezed mightily.
“I thought so.”
“Hey, if you can sniff, I can sniff,” I shot back, taking out my sexual frustration on a defenseless Pâte Brisée.
“Only fair. So how do I rate?”
“Good. Very good, actually. Downy?”
“Bounce. I lost my Downy ball,” he confessed.
I laughed, and we continued to roll and peel. Within 15 minutes, we had a bowlful of peeled and sliced apples, a perfectly rolled-out pie crust, and we’d both consumed our first glass of wine.

Knowing that I need my male leads to be as funny as they are sexy, which of these 3 hotties is MY WALLBANGER?

Is it Ryan Reynolds?

Is it Jensen Ackles?

Is it Bradley Cooper?

What say you folks? Leave a comment and send me a tweet. Who is MY WALLBANGER?

Last but most certainly not least, some of you may have seen my news about the new project I am working on; a whole new set of adventures for me. Partnering with actor Greg Grunberg, blogger Brittany Gibbons, and my bestie since college, actress Keili Lefkovitz, we are filming a new travel show centered around women in their 30′s hurtling towards their 40′s, who refuse to stop being silly. Zip lining, haunted house hunting, fish taco eating (ahem), the ladies and I will set out to show you how to travel with your girlfriends and have the best time ever, with Greg along for the ride to try to keep us out of trouble. Good luck with that Greg. Seriously, this Charlie is going to have his hands full with these 3 Angels.

We start filming in January, and we want YOU to be involved. YOU will get to help shape this new adventure. From its inception Have Boobs Will Travel (how great is that name?) has always been about getting out there and playing with our readers, viewers, listeners, all of you Nuts Girls out there that want to play hard and party even harder.

Details will be on their way soon, but I couldn’t wait to tell you about this exciting new project. Make sure you are following all of us on Twitter @greggrunberg, @brittanyherself, and @keili_lefkovitz. Look for #haveboobswilltravel to watch the insanity unfold.

WALLBANGER comes in 2 weeks, and I have never been more excited to share a book with you guys. I’m pinching myself right now I’m so happy, and I pinch hard btw. Just saying.

And if you haven’t already read my Redhead books, what are you waiting for?

The Unidentified Redhead
The Redhead Revealed

Well, we’re finally here. I can finally tell you all about my new novel which will be releasing November 27th, 2012. The title? Wallbanger. Mmhmm. Here’s a sneak peek at the summary:

Caroline Reynolds has a fantastic new apartment in San Francisco, a KitchenAid mixer, and no O (and we’re not talking Oprah here, folks). She has a flourishing design career, an office overlooking the bay, a killer zucchini bread recipe, and no O. She has Clive (the best cat ever), great friends, a great rack, and no O.

Adding insult to O-less, since her move, she has an oversexed neighbor with the loudest late-night wallbanging she’s ever heard. Each moan, spank, and–was that a meow?–punctuates the fact that not only is she losing sleep, she still has, yep, you guessed it, no O.

Enter Simon Parker. (No, really, Simon, please enter.) When the wallbanging threatens to literally bounce her out of bed, Caroline, clad in sexual frustration and a pink baby-doll nightie, confronts her heard-but-never-seen neighbor. Their late-night hallway encounter has, well, mixed results. Ahem. With walls this thin, the tension’s gonna be thick…

In her third novel, Alice Clayton returns to dish her trademark mix of silly and steamy. Banter, barbs, and strutting pussycats, plus the sexiest apple pie ever made, are dunked in a hot tub and set against the gorgeous San Francisco skyline in this hot and hilarious tale of exasperation at first sight.

I can’t tell you how excited I am to bring this story out and into the world! It’s a story that I so genuinely love and adore, and I’m really interested to see what you think. You all know I love my silly and my steamy, and this one’s got it all over the place and tucked up into the corners. We’ve got a few months to go before you can actually read it, but there will be all sorts of exciting things here on the blog to make the time go by faster.

And speaking of exciting things, The Redhead Series is blowing up like gangbusters! I participated in my very first live Twitter chat last week, and we even got #SweetNuts to trend! I’m told this is a big deal, as usually this space is reserved for Bieber Fever. So let’s make SweetNuts go global. If you’ve enjoyed The Unidentified Redhead and The Redhead Revealed, make sure you pop over to Amazon and leave it a quick review, if you’d be so kind.

OK chickens, that’s it for now. Keep checking in as there will be more news to come on all things Wallbanger. Damn I love saying that…
