Good, Clean Fun: a Meh-rathon
A letter from Alicia Prescott to Norman Khale (author of Dead in a Dinghy, Slayed on a Sailboat, Bludgeoned on a Barge, and a number of other alliterative boat-themed murder mysteries):
Since you read and provided such wonderful feedback on the initial draft, I just wanted to write and let you know that the publisher has rejected my children’s book. Ms. Theroux Sweeps Up Nature will not see the light of day. It’s a shame, really; I thought it might win over some young fans! But apparently, the three bodies she finds as she sweeps the hiking path are three too many. Even after I argued that only two of them were murder victims and that the other died of dehydration (a valuable lesson for the youth!), they still refused publication. Apparently, the appropriate number of cadavers in a children’s picture book is zero. It makes no sense to me as a murder mystery writer, but what can you do?
What better day for a spring-cleaning-themed Meh-ration than March 12th, the birthday of author Alicia Prescott? Creator of the character Ms. Theroux, the mystery-solving maid who appears in over 40 novels, Prescott has come to be known as “the queen of clean” in literary circles. So, stick around all day as we share excerpts from Prescott’s work, as well as tidbits from her letters, interviews, reviews, and more. Oh, and there will be deals too. On cleaning products. And also non-cleaning products.
Meh-rathon
What’s a Meh-rathon?
Normally, Meh is all about one deal per day—simple. But sometimes, we throw that out the window. A Meh-rathon is an all-day gauntlet of nonstop deals. One after another, untill we run out of stuff (or patience). It's chaotic. It's fun. It's a terrible way to shop responsibly. You've been warned.
