My author was asked to take some refreshments to a book signing. She’s stapled these quotes to muffin cups, and she’s going to put M&Ms in them. Her business cards will go under them.
What do you think?

“I slide my hand into my backpack and pull out two red M&Ms. The chocolate melts on my tongue and soothes my stomach.”
~~Sandee Mason in Talent by B. Lynn Goodwin
“I’m so nervous I grabbed a whole handful of M&Ms without even thinking.”
~~Sandee Mason in Talent by B. Lynn Goodwin
“I can’t control it [auditions] any more than I can control how many M&Ms go in my mouth when I get nervous.”
~~Sandee Mason in Talent by B. Lynn Goodwin
“No way I’ll let anybody see the tears in my eyes. It’s not my fault that I don’t sing bass or tenor. I slide my hand into my pocket and sneak three M&Ms.
~~Sandee Mason in Talent by B. Lynn Goodwin
“I grab a handful of M&Ms, but a second later, I drop them back in the bag. Candy can’t solve this problem.”
~~Sandee Mason in Talent by B. Lynn Goodwin
“I’ve opened a fresh pack of M&Ms, which are still stashed in the left pocket of my corduroy jacket. I didn’t buy any today, and I hope I won’t tomorrow, but I don’t want to waste the ones I have.”
~~Sandee Mason in Talent by B. Lynn Goodwin
“I reach into my jacket pocket for my M&Ms, but I slide my hand back out without taking any.
~~Sandee Mason in Talent by B. Lynn Goodwin
“I excuse myself, head for the bathroom, and on the way, I stuff a handful of M&Ms into my mouth.
“Do they help?” a girl with a husky voice asks.
~~ Tessa Kwan to Sandee Mason in Talent by B. Lynn Goodwin
“She’s challenging me just like she did last night when she saw me consuming the M&Ms. She catches my look and says, “You can’t avoid your feelings, Sandee. You have to face them.”

What happened? There were a bunch more. Three pages. I guess you’ll have to read the book and find them yourself.
If you click on that it should take you right to my page–okay the page for my book. I want you to read my story, now that drama teachers are casting the spring musical. M&Ms are only a small part, but refreshments have to be food, and the food was supposed to be related.
Got it?
Thanks!
