Paula Malloy was there and she greeted Cynthia like an old friend, oozing charm like a runny sore.
Maybe it's just me, but I don't think the second simile works. After all, a runny sore doesn't ooze charm. Something along the lines of 'oozing charm like a sore oozes pus' might have been better.

And that book got published? Maybe there is chance for me after all ...
I don't think it works either, unless it was meant ironically.
By 'synonym' did you mean 'simile'?
Yes, absolutely, I meant 'simile'. Oops...
BTW, is there a synonym for synonym? I now have to go and check my thesaurus ...
Sounds like a second rate entry in the Bulwer-Lytton contest.
