Earl was there to get the county to waive environmental cleanup for a cluster of houses he wanted to put on the site of an old railroad depot. Somehow, Earl got it in his mind that I was on his side in this dispute, because while my stories described him accurately as a voracious fat-ass developer trying to get around reasonable environmental laws, in the profile I called him "bombastic" and Earl took this as a compliment.
So, I'll admit I had to look up the definition of bombastic after reading this teaser. I had only ever heard the word once before, in a song by Shaggy...which turned out to be "Boombastic". Either way, the meaning was far less interesting than I was hoping but, overall, I am enjoying the book. Hope you enjoyed the teaser :-)

Nice teaser - and Bombastic did immediately trigger music in my head as well!
My teaser is up too, and has rippling abs: http://sweetvernalzephyr.blogspot.com/2009/11/tuesday-teaser.html
Melissa- I thought it was cute but it was maybe the 3rd pick. The book is about a poet that turns to selling drugs, so I wasn't sure the others I landed on would be good to post, lol.
Zephyr- The song has been in my head for the last 24 hours!
Off to check out both of your teasers now...
