It was bad enough when I figured it wasn’t historical… it isn’t even a romance.
le sigh
When a someone asked Susan Kay Law if it wasn’t a romance what was it. She responded
What is it, Kathy? Hmm. I believe the current plan is simply to put fiction on the spine.
“Pissed Off Forty-something Lit” probably sums [...]

You Give Love a Bad Name

Tuesday, August 29, 2006 11:25 12 Comments

I am on very few yahoo groups. I think there are six: three author lists, two historical reader lists and a trade group. Oh and there is the brotherhood list but it is no mail because there is no way in hell I could keep up with it, but I do go check it out [...]

Opinions are like assholes, everybody has one

I have to say I think beth and jane of Dear Author are both swell people and personally I like them, even though I have only emailed with beth like twice. (yes candy, I still owe smart bitches a guest bitch)
I also think it is totally cool to dislike them or think they are [...]

Elizabeth does Lori
Tara Marie should be happy to know:
And… (drumroll please) I recently agreed to a two-book contract for a horror series I’m starting. It’ll be written under the name L.L. Foster, but that’s all I really know so far.

Shut Up!
No I am not referring to any authors, message boards or online blow ups. Odd that
There are certain phrases I just don’t see being used in historicals. The nifty etymology online says:
Shut up (v.) first recorded 1840
Now the book in question is set in 1810, so I think the usage [...]

someone so should have stopped me

I am half way through and I think I have read this book before. It reminds me of The Seduction. But I recall liking The Seduction.
Does Holt have more than two characters?
Hero – bored rake who takes his pleasure where he wants
Heroine – virgin with no clue what to do down there [...]

Avon goes medievals again

Friday, August 25, 2006 1:50 No Comments

Gayle Callen will be writing medievals again for Avon. Only not under Gayle Callen… her medieval name is Julia Latham.
Wonder why since ‘Gayle Callen’ has medievals already. I haven’t really liked her last few books so I hope Julia Latham will be a return of what was grand in His Bride.
I [...]

A tease… here have five dollars off a 15 order… then there was the free shipping with 25.
bastards
It gets me every time. Add in a phone call that ruined my day (more on that later) and book shopping was called for.
If secret babies, amnesia, shotguns, mistresses, brides and Diana Palmer can’t fix it, nothing [...]
