Lady Chatterly Cooper, or LC Cooper as she became known, remains a Lady of the '80s. Pink high-tops (autographed by Rick Springfield) and checkerboard waffle Vans (a la "Fast Times at Ridgemont High") complement her ensemble of Jane Fonda leg warmers and Madonna junk jewelry. Because she's no longer perky and petite, parachute pants are a necessity and not a lingering fashion statement. She maintains her own sense of style and grace. Her daughters, Tiffany, Farah, and Demi, and her sons, Milli, Vanilli, and Bruce don't think so.
Disenchanted that she wasn't "discovered" while a groupie for Culture Club, Wild West and Wham, LC set a course for self respect and began writing. Her first book was a biography about that lovely couple, Sean Penn and Madonna. Although the project tanked, LC caught the writing bug. Gone were the days of scrawling invitations on men's-room walls.
LC hit the big time when Thunderbox Press published her kiss-and-tell exposé entitled, "Speedo Libido." Although some washed-up rockers found humor in it, ("Yeah, I shagged her," Rod Stewart supposedly said, "but who didn't I bang in the '80s?"), others, such as PeeWee Herman ("she was too old for me") and George Michael ("she doesn't even look like a dude") might have been offended. VH1 canned the TV series based on the book when a test audience preferred to see Ozzy flitting around his house in a dress instead of watching LC's aged, saggy boobs flop around in her red one-piece swimsuit in slow motion on camera.
Once again trashed by the music industry, brokenhearted LC withdrew from the limelight and bought a secluded ranch in The Everglades. Not able to grow much in all that muck, the stinking goo inspired her second novel, "Stick in the Mud." This satire chronicled the price-fixing practices of the Recording Industry Association of Antarctica. Thumbing its nose at consumers, governments, and free-trade around the world, the RIAA fought to suppress "Stick in the Mud." Written from a male point-of-view, the book details how the RIAA takes the consumer up a dark and dirty path where no woman can go.
These days, LC enjoys spending long weekends with her David Hasselhoff inflatables. Whenever her dolls are worn out, LC manages the writing careers of her six children. When that happens, they buy her more dolls.

• Much Ado about Doing Nothing on Oct. 15, 2010
  
  I didn't like this at all. I had hoped to read a humorous Rube-Goldberg-style story about solving a phony world crisis. Instead, the author rambles a bit before writing about masturbation. Although not a surprise, taking into account the author was a 10th-grader (and that's what 10th-grade boys focus on), I would be ashamed to publish this as a story that showcases my writing style and ability. After all, it'll be out there on the 'net forever, where one day the author's children will find it.
  
• Dawn Debris: A Comic Book Without Illustrations on Oct. 16, 2010
  
  The summary drew me in, but I didn't like this story. Perhaps it isn't in the correct category - I was expecting it to be humorous. It was difficult to follow; had to re-read several paragraphs and still didn't get the intent from most; and the ending seemed hurried and fell flat. The author has a book in one of Smashwords' top-downloads lists. I suggest reading it and leaving this one alone.
  
• Windy Pudding: A Chuck & Wayne Adventure on Oct. 16, 2010
  
  Very clever. I liked the POV and the way the story played out. I don't get the character Kevin's contribution to the story. Then, why didn't Chuck & Wayne tell the police who came up with the plan?
  
• The Rumors Swirling About James Patterson (Story) on Oct. 25, 2010
  
  Well done! Witty and perfectly sarcastic. Would have liked to read more - wrapped up too quickly, the story seemed to run out of steam at the end. Still, a very entertaining read.

  I'm sorry, I just didn't get it.
  
• Madeleine's Life, A Short Story on Dec. 06, 2010
  
  Such a pathetically sad tale. Makes me want to hug Madeleine and her brother and tell them everything's going to turn out just fine - even though it will never be as good as before. Then, I'll kick the mother in her butt for lashing out at her children. A sap for happy endings, I needed a ray of hope & sunshine, which I didn't get. Madeleine is so sweet. Well done developing her character. Would have liked to read more about the family's, especially Madeleine's, adjustment over time. I encourage you to develop the backstory leading to her father's death, as well as that of their ongoing adjustments. I think the whole picture would make for a very interesting "coming of age" story.
