PET PEEVE RANT AHEAD.
So I went to a bakery here in town, a rather respectable bakery, one owned by someone who had won all kinds of bakery-awards and impressive titles that make people go “Ooo. This human knows CAKES.” So I went there and bought a cookies & cream cupcake, fully expecting cupcake glory, based on all the awards and praise I had heard. And this cookies & cream cupcake was nothing more than a vanilla cupcake with cookies & cream frosting.
THIS IS NOT A COOKIES & CREAM CUPCAKE. If in one swift flick of my knife I can transform a cupcake into a plain vanilla cupcake it was nothing more than a plain vanilla cupcake to begin with. A cookies & cream cupcake would be, at the very least, vanilla cake batter with crushed up Oreos baked in it then cookies & cream frosting on top. Even better, a dark chocolate cupcake with vanilla custard filling, then cookies & cream frosting on top. But coming from a bakery that was supposedly award-winning, and renowned for its CUPCAKES, I expected better. BETTER, I SAY.
This is one of my biggest pet peeves. I don’t know why. I realize it is slightly ridiculous. But I have very high cupcake expectations, and when a baker claims to be some all-powerful force in the cupcake world, then produces these plain-ol, sad little cookies & cream LIES, well, to that person I say:
Jenn’s INSOMNIA Launch was all kinds of AWESOME! Jenn had...
Me & Jenn!
Jenn wowing the audience!
CAKE!

Jenn’s INSOMNIA Launch was all kinds of AWESOME! Jenn had a hilarious and honest presentation about dreams versus reality, answered questions, gave away some kick-ass swag, and did a signing. Plus, CAKE.
If you weren’t able to make it out for the event, INSOMNIA is available NOW in bookstores everywhere! This dark & twisty thriller will keep you up well past your bedtime (appropriate, no?). GO. GET IT. NOW.
If for some reason you aren’t near a bookstore AND didn’t make it out for this event, I have a signed copy of INSOMNIA in my possession. And I will be giving it away soon. VERY soon. So stay tuned for a giveaway of INSOMNIA proportions!

Conversation between the producers of the TV show Hannibal
Producer 2: Put Mads Mikkelsen in it.
Producer 1: Okay, good, good. But what else? Let's really make sure we hook her...
Producer 2: Put Lee Pace in it.
Producer 1: Yes, yes, but what else?
Producer 2: Put Eddie Izzard in it.
Producer 1: *cracks knuckles* *cackles evilly*
No joke. It's like they've been stalking which actors I love most and put them all in one place and I'm seriously expecting Michael Fassbender to be next because, Mads Mikkelsen, Lee Pace, AND MOTHER F-ING EDDIE IZZARD??
