As Mickey J. Corrigan,
I write pulpy fiction and dark, satirical crime novels. That kind of writer is
not someone who collects and tests out new recipes. Unless they include coffee
or booze. Or both.
Here is one such recipe
from my new novel, Project XX.
Ingredients:
Stoli Hot Vodka (premium Russian vodka flavored with
spicy peppers)
tomato juice
fresh jalpeño pepper
tomato juice
fresh jalpeño pepper
1. You can make as much as you need but the proportions
should be two parts Stoli Hot to four parts tomato juice;
2. Shake with shaved ice; and
3. Garnish with slices of jalapeño pepper.
Serve with cups of black coffee—as hot and strong as you can
take it.

Project XX
In 2012, a deranged grad student dressed as the Joker shot and killed dozens of movie goers at a Batman film opening in Colorado. Gun violence is so out of control in America that it has become a cruel joke.
Unlike most of Mickey Corrigan's novels, Project XX made itself known to her at that time, demanding to be written. Usually she researches, prepares, then writes. In this case, she wrote first, then did the research on gun violence, female violent crime, and school/mass shootings.
Males are almost always the perpetrators of mass shootings. But females are fully capable of shocking acts of violence and, in the US, military-style weapons are as easy to access as a new hairstyle.

I was sure I had left a comment on this post. I've certainly read it before (love the hangover cure!) thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThat's interesting that you read this before. And to think I think my ideas are so original. Ha! Not really sure anything cures a hangover except time.
