Vicki Pettersson and City of Souls

This impossibly gorgeous, funny-as-hell friend of mine Vicki Pettersson is not only an amazing novelist and brilliant workshop leader (seriously, her workshop at last year's SiWC was inspiring, moving, and simply one of the best classes I've ever attended) but Ms Vicki is a former Vegas showgirl.
She just posted this Showgirl 101 video on YouTube in which the "bevel" and the "full slap" are explained. Maybe you've always wanted to give it a go. Vicki tells you all you need to know. I would try it, but it turns out I'm just not tall enough. Otherwise, I'd be covered in glitter and feathers and strutting my stuff, oh you know it, baby.

Vicki's latest book in the Zodiac series, CITY OF SOULS, is coming out June 30th. Go to Vicki's website for more info (she's doing a live podcast on July 2nd) and if you haven't read any of her books, just stop what you're doing, right now, and go get 'em. The first one, THE SCENT OF SHADOWS, has just gone into its SEVENTH printing!)

Go Vicki!!
