Joss Whedon is one of my big genre heroes (I’m sure that’s no surprise) and yes, I was devastated when I heard that he wasn’t going to direct Wonder Woman. And I was listening to an interview with him (Amazon put it up as part of the Serenity CE DVD release promo) and one of […]
I’m designing bookmarks for Demon Night, and am wondering: for those of you who use/collect them, do you prefer bookmarks that are slightly longer than the book, so they stick up a little — or that can be tucked inside, so that when they sit on the shelf, it disappears into the book. And, just […]
Someday.
I should stay off YouTube. This is Dusty Springfield, with a song that I’ve played WAY too much lately, thanks to Demon Night. Okay, this isn’t Doris Day — but man, this is fantastic. And other people in this movie are definitely non-blondes. I had no idea this was part of a movie soundtrack. Anyone […]

…when I will sit down at the in-laws to see (part) of a Bollywood film, and it will not star Shahrukh Khan. *For those interested, this is Mohabbatein (which, translated, means “love stories” (I think)) . Yes, I couldn’t help but laugh at the musical hallelujahs that sounded when we were introduced to each of […]
At my local Safeway, they are having a fundraiser for (the prevention of) muscular dystrophy by selling donated books at $1. I stop by the table every visit, of course, because I can’t help myself, and because new books come in all the time. Last time, I noticed that Robin McKinley’s THE HERO AND THE […]
And Charlene Teglia answers it very nicely: they’re in Wild Wild West. I’ve really got nothing to add to the review at Dear Author. These were all yum. Oh, and I love the cover, too. I’ve said this before, but I’ll do it again: novellas are lifesavers for me when I’m writing, or when I’m […]
I picked this one up when it first came out because I’m a sucker for a post-apocalyptic tale, but didn’t really get a chance to read it until just recently — and, all I can say is, wow. Blood Meridian was an uncomfortable read for me, just by the sheer violence and how visceral it […]
The first is His Majesty’s Dragon by Naomi Novik, which I’m sure almost everyone knows about and has already read, but, what the hell, I’ll mention it here anyway. The premise is: dragons are living and used for battle during the Napoleonic Wars. I really, really liked this book. I wanted to love it, and […]
Warning: this post contains spoilers for Lora Leigh’s Forbidden Pleasure and Joey W. Hill’s The Vampire Queen’s Servant, and it references sexual acts that are a) kinky, and therefore b) just plain wrong So I read these two books, and I gotta say — I don’t get it. Because I’m reading along, quite certain that […]
More tomorrow. Good thing is, modem is working, my regular e-mail seems to be working *crossing my fingers on that*, pages are uploaded, the skunk smell not so bad (I shouldn’t drive on back roads, I swear), people are married, I’ve turned thirty years old (maybe that shouldn’t be included in ‘good things’)… Okay, I’m […]
(Note #1: Click to enlarge. Then check out that quote on the bottom. You can never tell if it’ll last to the final version, but who says reader blogs don’t matter?) (Note #2: about a year ago, I couldn’t access my site at a library due to mature content. Now I can, and I’m not […]
Thanks to HelenKay and Sybil, I found out that Demon Moon is being reviewed in the upcoming issue of Entertainment Weekly. And it got an A- Yeah, it rocks, really freaking hard. But here’s the thing that gets me right in the gut — I haven’t seen too many romance reviews come out of EW […]
Chamber. Only, um, with a face and chest. And more like when Chris Bachalo was on Generation X. God, I forgot how much I loved Bachalo’s work…excuse me while I go drool over those pretty, pretty pencils. God, I forgot how much I loved Generation X. Excuse me while I go sob.
Man, I can’t wait for this book. And I totally love this cover — something about it just screams comic-book-pose to me. And I want that coat! And my e-mail is still way effed up.
