I first noticed it when I was looking at China Mieville’s UN LUN DUN a week or so ago. (Aside: I lurve Mieville.) Also, Keri Arthur’s TEMPTING EVIL, and Linnea Sinclair’s GAMES OF COMMAND, Dawn Thompson’s BLOOD MOON (whose cover fascinates me for some reason — I think it’s the font) and Melanie Jackson’s WRIT […]
Take note, all you Dereks, Devils, Luciens, the vamps with funny names, and even the Roarkes: this is how it should be done.
The Frog Prince. I love Disney movies. And isn’t it about damn time? To take my father-in-law back to the airport. For my daughter to start kindergarten (a year and a half away, *sob*) so I have more writing time during the day, so that when an idea I’ve been playing with about a steampunky-romance […]

This is for Cindy, because when I posted a link to this flag on her blog, I think the link didn’t work. And also because when I looked through my old blog to find the flag, I realized that He-Man wasn’t the only one drawing in tons of spam. So I’m slowly going to be […]
There’s only one way: tuna fish and noodles, which I made today as comfort food since my plans for the weekend, such as GOING UP TO SEATTLE TO DO RESEARCH AND MOSTLY TO CELEBRATE RICHELLE‘S NEW RELEASE, SUCCUBUS BLUES, IN STORES NOW! are totally shot. *huff* *huff* This crap isn’t as good as I remember […]
Not counting the research stuff, I got in, yesterday: My sister immediately took BLOOD SECRETS because I said it was like vampire CSI, which she loves, and then had to put it down after there was a foreward or something that compared the hero to Gil Grissom until, she said, she got that image out […]
Remember that game where you have a line of people and you say something into the first person’s ear and they whisper it to the next person, on down the line, and then the last person says it out loud and usually the sentence has been completely changed? I was reminded of that when I […]
So, as part of my purging, I decided to have tomato soup today (but without a grilled cheese sandwich, *sob*). Except, the tomato soup was made when I realized: no crackers. It’s not just because I am one — I simply can’t eat tomato soup without crackers. Saltines, preferably. So that started me on a […]

…this weekend, and didn’t really write enough, so now it’s time to purge. But I did get some books in: I also visited the Kam Meng restaurant in Newport — which is one of the few places I’ve had fish that I actually like. They’re a tiny little place on the historic bay front (overlooking […]
Via spyscribbler, a book that has a female ninja assassin. If that wasn’t cool enough, check out this cover. I’m in love. It’s STEALING THE DRAGON by Tim Maleeny. He’s got some excerpts on his site. And, to the guy in Safeway who bought the two-hour firelog and the case of Coors: I hope it […]
I’ve finally updated my Myspace page and added a link to the sidebar. I’ve been fiddling around with it for a couple of months, but never quite finding a layout or anything that I liked … and I’ll admit that I’m resistant to it, because the interaction is so odd. And I haven’t been a […]
Sigh. The word is spectacularly stupid, and yet I’m doing it. I may be the last author to do it, actually — but it might be necessary. It occurred to me while I was checking my Amazon page that the product description for Demon Angel is not very, um, informative or helpful. Book Description All […]
Via Newsarama, will Anna Paquin star in the Sookie Stackhouse series on HBO? I wonder if a card-throwing New Orleans thief with red eyes … oh, and fangs … will show up? What? What? Why can’t I dream, and get my Rogue/Gambit ‘shipping in this way? *sob*
To the gentleman in the green 1990 Honda Civic, with the license plate: RAD RU No. And if you define “rad”, then I’m glad I’m not. I must say, that plate is a disgrace to TMNT fans everywhere, who once found great joy in the use of “rad”. To the teenybopper in the shiny new […]
