Book Launch, Contest and, of course, Food

Posted on September 7, 2010 by Marian Allen

I’m launching my Blog Book Tour for EEL’S REVERENCE today at Fatal Foodies on the subject of food as characterization. Please drop by and enter the contest, there or here.

WRITING PROMPT: Do you ever “peg” people based on food? If I tell you I saw a woman eating watermelon with a knife and fork, would you get an instant picture of her? Does “tofu” conjure up a stereotype that would be fun to play with or against?

If someone tells me they eat Tofurkey on Thanksgiving, I definitely form judgments, it’s true! 🙂

I saw your contest on KindleKorner and thought I would enter. the book EEL’S REVERENCE sounds intriguing.
Yes, eating some foods does conjure up images of people and their situations.

I love your writing, Marian, and your writing prompts. I’m going to have to read Eel’s Reverence, now. I enjoyed your discussion, on Fatal Foodies, of how scenes involving food reveal character.
