Cynthia Bailey – Thomas and Peter Thomas Release Joint Memoir

Cynthia Bailey-Thomas and Peter Thomas will finally celebrate the release of their memoir, on September 19th, 2013 after a short delay.  According to Amazon.com:

In their straight-talk couple’s memoir, Carry-on Baggage: Our Nonstop Flight, Cynthia Bailey Thomas and Peter Thomas chronicle their journey of raising a blended family, running a mini-empire, and keeping the fire burning in marriage after age forty. The book’s title is a playful euphemism that defines all the moving pieces that come along with mid-life marriage. The chapters delve into everything from Cynthia’s and Peter’s first date, which was fifteen years in the making, to their formula for successfully managing six children and five co-parents. Readers will be stunned to learn how the ex-supermodel and restaurateur/entrepreneur shot to fame and joined the ensemble cast of Bravo’s hit reality show, The Real Housewives of Atlanta. Carry-on Baggage will inspire, provoke, and make readers laugh out loud as they take Cynthia and Peter’s nonstop flight to finding marital bliss.

In a recent Milwaukee Courier story,  excerpts from the book were published in as a he said, she said format.  From Cynthia…

“Despite his allure, there were some contradictions in Peter’s personality that occasionally threw me. Like the time I had to take an incoming call during one of our conversations and told him I’d call him back. When I did, a female answered his phone and said, ‘Peter’s eating right now.’ Really? This man who’d called me daily and asked me every personal question short of when I had my last period was playing me like he was King Henry VIII. Now, all of a sudden, he was too occupied to bring his black ass to the phone? Wow!”

And from Peter’s side:

“I typically daydreamed on my commute anyway, but that day I couldn’t take my eyes off the black beauty plastered in that print ad. It was one of those crazy kind of ads that no matter how I turned or repositioned, her eyes followed me. It freaked me out! Before I got off that train, I had to glance back one last time at those alluring eyes that had stalked me the entire time. I could still see hints of that young lamb from Nell’s, who’d shown me no real interest the first night we met. Now, years later, here she was standing in a sultry pose, smoking a cigarette and staring me down. All I could think was, ‘Oh! Okay, now honey wanna sweat me.’”

It’s just like Shakespeare ! Who could resist this sort of intellectual stimulation? If you want the book, the two love birds will host a media reception, 2:00 pm – 6:00 pm on Thursday, September 19, 2013 at Simply Books, Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, Atlanta, GA. –

    Yeah ya know, I think I’ll pass. I think they are cute on the show but I don’t really find them interesting. Certainly not interesting enough to read a book about them.

    This is the kind of book that I would find interesting to read AFTER they announce they are filing for divorce.

      Anybody can be an author, or a singer, or a model, or a wine or booze label, or a designer, or a…you catch my drift. These housewives are nothing if not opportunists.

    I don’t want to read a book written by someone who has obviously never read a book in his life (side eye to Peter). I like Cynthia but she has questionable taste in men.

    There is absolutely nothing these two can “write” that would interest me. I’d rather read what my neighbor’s mongel thinks every time he chases a bitch in heat or has a really good dump on my other neighbor’s lawn.

    i had been waiting for her 2 dump his a$$, cant believe they are still together. i thought she could do better. his attitude did stink and i dont blame her sister and mother for having their doubts about whether it should have gone ahead. they would have been crazy and unfeeling not to. to be fair he did improve a bit last series. But do they really think that we care that much? i’ll watch them on tv but go and spend my hard earned cash to give them in return for learning about their marriage and wotever else? Thanks but no thanks. That’s about as sensible and useful as taking it to the club to make it rain!

    I for one WILL NOT be purchasing this piece of crap.
    Cynthia seems nice enough but she is by far the most boring one on that show. I can’t believe they got a book deal.

      It could be “self-published” this is not a major publisher.

    Yeah, not interested. Glad that they are venturing out, but they should have waited to publish the book when the season is airing than before. Business thinking.
