Oh chickens, it’s finally here. To say this has been a long time coming is just beating a dead pun. *grabs bat and whacks away* I can’t tell you how happy I am to share this book with you all. It makes me warm and tingly in all my parts. Did you see there’s a whole new page on the site just for Wallbanger
I have to get a little sentimental for a moment, because like all things, it takes a village. And while I am the Head Idiot of this very Village, if I may be permitted a moment to throw down some shout outs and some thank yous.
This book means a lot to me. As I told a friend this morning, while I know I am supposed to be able to get validation from the inside, sometimes we all need a pat on the back. A “great job” a “you made me laugh so hard I peed” kind of thing. You all loving Wallbanger
Thank you Angie Lynch, for being my internet biotch and talking me down off every computer ledge. Your pimping is rock star.
Thank you to Brittany Gibbons, for inspiring me to wear jeggings and to agreeing to come into my Airstream.
Thank you to Jennifer Probst, Tiffany Reisz, Michelle Leighton, Ruthie Knox, Stacia Kane, Laura Kaye. You guys are like, real authors dude, and you talk to me. I can’t even…
To my Filet’s, a secret group of authors that help me daily…I love you guys;)
To Sarah M. Glover for telling me I have a voice.
To Debra Anastasia for being the dirtiest cheerleader I know. I love you Disgusto.
To my besties Keili Lefkovitz and Ashley Iglehart, who I have the pleasure of playing with on Not Your Mother’s Podcast. And I love them so hard, especially Keili because she is letting her brother marry me.
To Kassiah for the most beautiful website ever! She always knows exactly what I need.
To my editor Jessica, whom I have known since 4th grade. It’s tempting to think because I’ve known her for so long that she would go easy on, but nope. She is the ONLY person who can manage me, and I need a lot of managing. She also lets me begin every phone conversation lately with laser sound effects “pio pio, pio pio pio”
To my publicist Enn Bocci, who is my taco for life. She works her ass off, she lets me text her at midnight, and if Wallbanger makes the best seller list, I am taking her ass to Spain. You heard it here folks…
And finally to the Nuts Girls, to the BangerNation, to the chickens everywhere who came back out of the woodwork to play with this story again, thank you. Thank you for reading this when it was our favorite bronze haired boy, thank you for pimping it, thank you getting IT and ME and enjoying the ridiculous with me for years. It’s amazing for me when I can connect with you through Twitter, through Facebook, through emails, through reviews, and we can share this common brand of silly. I feel like this belongs to all of us, so thank you for riding this crazy train.
And to all the new chickens, Welcome to the Crazy. We are just getting started. Mother fucking Have Boobs Will Travel is next yo…fire up your trailers and gird your loins. I’m rolling with Grunberg now…and paying him off with homemade rugelach. Stay tuned for the details on how you can party with the #haveboobswilltravel crew in Los Angles this January.
We hit #1 today on Amazon’s Movers and Shakers. Where it goes from here it almost irrelevant (film deal, please) because this day is ours. It’s our time. It’s our time, down here. And that’s all over once you ride up Troy’s bucket.
So now that the schmaltz is through, I am dying to know. Now that some of you have begun to read Wallbanger, who do you think is MY Wallbanger? Did your choice change now that you are getting to know him? Is it:
Ryan Reynolds?
Jensen Eckles?
Bradley Cooper?
I can’t wait to tell you which one is MY pick…but I didn’t want to reveal until you read, never like to have someone tell me in advance, know what I mean?
OK chickens, that’s all for now. Let’s enjoy this day, I know I will. Your Idiot thanks you.
YOU? Are awesome.
I woke up this morning, started to have a leisurely stretch, then sat straight up in bed thinking, “Today’s the day! Wallbanger!” I made my purchase…got all downloaded and was late getting back to work from lunch because I was busy reading, dammit!! And you’ve made it all possible…
Thank you. So much.
Downloaded this morning and finished it this afternoon…absolutely LOVED this book!!! Sad it’s over:-( My pick for Simon is Bradley Cooper…he looks like a manly photographer to me! I want more from this couple!!! Can’t wait for the 3rd book in the Redhead series, Thank you thank you for the funny and sexy women in your books! Keep writing please…
Audrey
This book was so amazing! Sweet, sexy and FUNNY AS HELL!!!! I can’t tell you how many times I was laughing out in the middle of my Dr’s office, my breakroom at work and on my couch at home. This is the first book I’ve read by you but as soon as I started, I bought the other two. Way to go. Loved every word!
Cheri
Loved it!!! Done with the book already. I originally read “Wallbanger” as a fan fiction. Loved it then and I loved it now. But there was SO much more to the story. Any chance that there will be a sequel? PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much for this book I went to bed very reading this and I loved it your the best wish u had another one coming after I loved so much I think I’m going to have to start reading it again keep up the good work. I so know who my Simon was lol
LOVED the book…:)
What can I say that hasn’t been said? This book was beyond awesome! I totally hope for a sequel and in the interim, am waiting (not so patiently) for book 3 of the Redhead series! I am honored to consider myself one of you “chickens” and have followed this story since it was the bronze haired fellow we all still love! Alice… GENIUS! And yes, I also laughed til I peed myself!
I hate so much that I’m through it that I think I’ll read it again!! Read the “Red Headed” series twice and loved them just as much. PLEASE co tinue to share I love your humor and style so much!
The internet is a random, awesome place. Out of curiosity, I Googled your friend Keili and found out on her IMDB page that she was the voice of the Wendy’s employee on an episode of The Office. “Dude, this is a Wendy’s restaurant.” That line is one of me and my husband’s favorite things to repeat to make the other laugh at inappropriate places. I love that I know the source! Awesome!!!!!!!!!
Woman you are a freaking genius!!! I just finished the Redhead series last night and jumped right into the Wallbanger. I laughed so hard at lunch while reading the “meowing scene” that I wet myself a little!!!! I cannot wait to read more of your books.
Ok so I got Wallbanger as a suggestion on my new Kindle and thought “what the hell…why not?” and downloaded….4 days later I’ve read all 3 books and have been a zombie at work due to staying up til ungodly hours reading them. I am DYING for the next redhead book and a Wallbanger continuation…dear god let more be coming soon!
First book I read of your is Wallbanger. I loved it! I will be telling everyone about this book.
Yours……sorry about the misspell.
What more can I say about Wallbanger that hasn’t already been said? I am in love with Simon. I think a good Simon would be Ryan Gossling. He seems sweet, sensitive and has killer abs. (check out Crazy, Stupid Love…)
Please write another Simon/Caroline book. I have read Wallbanger 4 times already, and want more!
Absoutly loved! Wallbanger had me laughing so hard I nearly had kittens!! My husband thinks I am nuts and kept looking at me funny, but could not stop laughing. The Redhead Series, killing me that I have to wait for the third book. Will continue to look for books written by”Alice” as I call her to my friends (like I know her). Thanks for writing great steamy stories:)
Loved loved loved Wallbanger!!! It’s kept me awake ’til 3am two days in a row ‘coz I just had to re-read it again and again…can’t get enough of Caroline! I love her wit and their banter…awesome writing! Thanks Alice
I found you through a tweet from ELJames – and I’m SO thrilled! Alice – your books are fresh, sexy, hysterical (laughed so hard I cried AND peed–several times) and I’m in love with every character! Immediately downloaded the Redhead series and am anxiously awaiting number three! Laying down the ‘must read’ to my besties and anyone else who wants to hear me rattle on about the best new author – so please keep writing! PS – Ryan Reynolds is totally Simon!
ok…Wallbanger…seriously & totally addicted to it. will be reading it again and again. can we expect a second book in the future for this group of crazies????
First off i just had to say that I LOVED wall banger . I had resisted reading this book because my first reaction was ” Not another cheesy alpha male sex book” ……. BOY WAS I WRONG ! SOooo wrong in fact that i ended up calling in sick to work just to stay home and finish reading it . It was funny and heartwarming and up lifting , i havent laughed so much and so hard while reading in a long time . thank you enn bocci and sub club for recommending this book .thank u ms Clayton for writing it
I must say I was very intrigued by the title Wallbanger. I’m glad I read it it was great. I loved the characters. I especially loved the relationship between the girls. It reminds me of the relationships I have with my girls as well. After devouring Wallbanger, and subsequently the red head series I pinned your books to my pintrest page. Keep up the good work I really enjoy your books.
