back when i discovered SARK, the only places you could find her books were in independent bookstores..... somehow along the way the big stores got word of her.... but back when i bought "Succulent Wild Woman" on recommendation from a current girlfriend.

here's a story to share with you from this book:

Old, Alone, Succulent

I met my friend's mother. She is in her 70's and very feisty. We had a tea party, she and I and her son, and when they were leaving, I told her she was a succulent wild woman.

"How?" she asked, her eyes flashing. Her son looked nervous. This fuled my answer.

?By the way you flung your head back while lying on my chaise lounge, by the way you tried on my painted silk cape with such flair and style."

Her son was blushing, and his mother said, ""I'll have you know that I danced alone the other morning -- the Jitterbug! I haven't forgotten at all."
