Bombshell Susan Boyer
Susan Boyer sat down with me in a fun interview to celebrate her upcoming book, Lowcountry Bombshell. She explains what Lowcountry is, gives us her favorite “Boil” recipe and shares a ton of laughs. Please note, Susan actually WON the Agatha after filming. (I introduced her as an Agatha finalist in the tape). Not only that, but this USA Today bestselling author (and my friend, yay!!) has also been nominated for the Daphne and the MacCavity awards, too!
I’m so proud I could burst.
On Thursday, please stop by for more about the book, a blooper reel, Susan’s Agatha speech, and a special message from HARLAN COBEN to Susan. Oh, and even better, you’ll find out who won a copy of the first book in the series: Lowcountry Boil, which will be given away to anyone leaving a comment here (or at DianaBelchase.com). (Note there is only one prize for both blogs, but you can leave a comment in both places for an extra chance to win.)
In the meantime, here is Susan’s Top Ten List of things that make her feel like a bomshell.
Enjoy!
10. Finding the perfect shade of lipstick
9. Movie star sunglasses
8. Getting a bit blonder at the hands of my fabulous stylist, who is Italian and calls me beautiful with an awesome accent
7. Mani/pedis at my favorite salon, where they pour me a glass of champagne when I walk in (they do that for everyone, but still)
6. Slipping on a new dress in the dressing room and discovering it compliments my curves
5. Mango margaritas with the girls
4. Driving up to Starbucks and they already know my order (even if it’s because I’m that crazy woman who drives through in her pajamas with bed hair and sometimes talks to herself)
3. Singing karaoke in heels so high they only get worn for singing (well, and maybe one other thing)
2. Getting dolled up to go out with Sugar
1. The way Sugar looks at me when I get dolled up (even though we’ve been married for a way long time and my curves have fluffed out quite a bit over the years)
So to win a copy of Susan’s Lowcountry Boil, please leave a comment and let us know what makes YOU feel like a bombshell!

Diana, thank you so much for doing this interview and for having me here on Kiss and Thrill today! This was SO much fun! It’s a thrill to be here! 🙂
I loved every minute of it! Thanks for letting me get you on film.

Congrats on your book Diana. It sounds great and would love to read it. The time I felt most like a bombshell was when still young my friend and I was walking down the side of a busy street and a guy stuck his head out the window of a back seat yelling how good we looked. The driver was also staring. We turned to ignore them and heard this big crash. Sure enough, they had hit a car in front of them. LOL. Thanks for sharing your time with us readers.
Oh my stars, Brenda! I hope no one was hurt. But, now that’s a compliment. 🙂
Ooops, it’s Susan’s book, Brenda. And it’s wonderful. Ha ha, I feel sorry for the driver of the other car, but what a great feeling — you literally stopped traffic! Thanks for stopping by.
That’s an awesome story, Brenda. Not so good for the guys, but great for the ego!
Getting all dressed up to go out for a night on the town.
That would definitely do it, Deborah! 🙂
sounds great!
Wearing false eyelashes to a publisher party! Great interview Diana! Congrats Susan and thanks so much for joining us at Kiss and Thrill. I can’t wait to read your books!
That’s a good one! Thanks so much, Carey!
Ooh, I love how false eyelashes look — but just can’t get the hang of them. Makes you more of a bombshell than me, Carey!
Fabulous interview as always, Diana (you must have been a crack reporter in a past life.) And welcome Susan, congratulations on the Agatha!
What makes me feel like a bombshell…Hmmm.
An evening gown, high heels, full makeup, the ‘good’ jewelry. Said evening requires valet parking, a coat check claim, tuxedoed waiters holding trays of champagne/wine and that first moment you walk into the crowded room, knowing everyone just turned to look at the ‘new arrivals’.
I posted an Oscar De La Renta ad on my FB page: b/w photo of the back of a striking woman with an up-do and a drop-dead gown. She’s walking sensuously down a hall. Ad copy: “Walk like you have three men walking behind you.”
Yeah, that’s bombshell to me. 🙂
Sarah, thank you so much!
Wow–I like the way you think! I saw that photo. Definitely a bombshell. 🙂
Love it, Sarah! Perfect.
Love it Sarah. I think Bombshell is in the way you feel about yourself, so I think that advice is right on target. Thanks for all the compliments. Just wait until Thursday!

Great interview, Ladies! I loved Lowcountry Boil and can’t wait to read Bombshell! And on those days I want to be a bombshell I wear a pair of silver glitter stilettos. I just love them with a little black dress!
Sounds very Bombshelly to me, but I think it’s you in that gorgeous salmon, one-shouldered dress at the GH Awards this year! Wowzers!
Sharon, you will totally rock those silver glitter stilettos. 🙂 Thank you so much!
Thanks for joining us at K&T, Susan! I used to work with a bunch of Italians. They weren’t very PC, but they were the best at making a woman feel good about herself. Like greeting me with, “Hey, pretty lady,” every day. (And that was my boss…) 😉
Great interview, as always, Diana. Hmm, bombshell? I’m a super casual girl, but when you find a gown that makes you feel like a million bucks, it’s worth it to don heels and get dressed up.
Hey, Gwen! Yes, Italians do seem to have a knack for making women feel beautiful. 🙂 I’m with you on the gown that makes you feel like a million bucks.
All I can say is Ciao Bella!
Susan, welcome to Kiss and Thrill! I loved loved loved Lowcountry Boil and can’t wait to read the sequel. (And I hear there will be sexytimes! 😉 I can’t wait to find out who Liz chooses and please let it be the guy I want her to choose…)
Since I only rarely wear makeup, it doesn’t take much for me to feel like I’m releasing my inner (and deeply hidden) bombshell… just some eyeliner, mascara, and lipstick.
Rachel, thank you so much! Oh, yes, there are sexytimes. 🙂 And I predict you will be pleased with Liz’s choice. I can’t wait to find out!
Since I work in my pajamas most days, I can relate to it not taking much to release your inner bombshell. 🙂
Got to change that to a negligee at least, Susan! LOL. Can’t write about Bombshells in PJs!
A fun interview and a great list. What makes me feel like a bombshell is a glass of great wine and a bubble bath. And a book. I’ll have to add BOMBSHELL to my bath-time reading.
Oooh! I like that one. I love a bubble bath with a glass of wine and a book. Thank you! I so hope you enjoy it!
