speaking of videos i took a few minutes to record myself reading an excerpt from the book posted by ellen at 6 09 2021 12 24 00 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest tuesday june 08 2021 review roundup the rooftop party i ve been a bad blogger sorry social media takes up so much of my mental bandwidth but here i am to say my latest book was published on may 25 and it s probably getting the best reviews of anything i ve written some examples meister creates an engaging mystery in the unique setting of the home shopping world it s as fun to watch dana piece together the clues as it is to see the behind the scenes details of her life as a tv host dana juggles a relationship family drama and a high profile job making her likable and easy to root for meister imbues her and many other characters with a quick wit and plenty of laughworthy lines perfect for readers who like their mysteries light on the murder but heavy on the humor kirkus reviews a wickedly entertaining rom com murder mystery from start to finish it promises to be a contender for beach read of the year bookreporter a fast and fun read with an engaging heroine and supporting cast library journal charming and ensemble driven meister s witty novel eliminates suspects while exploring the layers of dana s ambition as she decides what s most important in her life fans of janelle brown s pretty things julie valerie s village of primm series and sonja yoerg s stories we never told will have a tough time leaving meister s latest behind booklist this quickly became my favorite

best friend fern meyerowitz in 2005 i tried to write about my grief but found i could only do it in second person the essay was published in an ezine called flashquake which is now defunct and offline since the piece no longer accessible i m pasting it in below to preserve it how to say goodbye to fern by ellen meister 1 be there to answer the phone when her husband calls to say fern has had enough and will be going home to take hospice care say i understand when he explains that it was her decision say it again when he tells you that if you are going to pray for her please do not pray for her to get well pray for her to die quickly 2 light a candle and do as you are told ask god to take her quickly do not wish for a miracle 3 when her husband calls again to say come now if you want to say good bye do not cry on the phone wait until you hang up then fall to your knees and wail in selfish abandon she was your best friend you are too young for her to die 4 say okay when your husband insists on going with you understand he wants to say good bye too and also he doesn t want you driving alone like this he is afraid you are so distraught you will wrap the car around a tree leaving him and the children all alone for a terrible moment resent fern for having the freedom to die without leaving anyone motherless 5 rest your face against the cool glass of the window and say nothing when your husband reaches over and squeezes your hand 6 try not to panic when you see other cars in front of her house even though you thought you would have her to yourself 7 sit limply at her bedside with the others smelling death notice that she is lucid but her eyes are already dead be patient as you wait for someone to understand that you are her oldest friend and have the greatest claim when no one speaks up make the announcement yourself ask them to leave you alone with her for a few minutes 8 when she turns to you and says what do you want to ask me go blank tell her you just want her to know how much you love her when she answers you were everything let yourself weep and weep and weep 9 later agree with your husband when he says it is silly to cancel the trip she could hang on for weeks but know in your heart that your cellphone will ring while you are in disneyworld 10 then when it happens on a recklessly sunny day just as you are climbing into a ferryboat to magic kingdom thank the caller for letting you know you will be the only one crying on the boat but soon you will stop you have forever to mourn your friend today you will go to pirates of the caribbean
