The first time someone shared this picture on my Facebook wall, I thought, “Bahaha! Yes!” The second time, I found it amusing that two of my friends saw this pithy Python meme and thought of me. Then it was shared a third time…and a fourth…and I began to wonder – am I that big of a grammar asshole?* I am, […]
Since 2008, I’ve been a book reviewer. I’m used to drooling over the newest release and hoping to hell I get the chance to read it and share my thoughts. I like to share my thoughts. A lot. Some may say too much… Now, instead of being the one formulating what to say about someone else’s work, I’m constantly stalking […]
Wow…two years since I’ve posted anything on this glorious little blog…oh how you’ve changed Blogger! It’s like I barely know you. This blogger will, very soon, evolve into an actual ::gasp:: website. I did this crazy thing over the weekend (published a book) without much forethought (procrastination is my bitch) as to Marketing. I was focused on fulfilling one of […]
Today is a day for mass sarcasm. A good friend forwarded information about a new “anti-rules of love” book titled The Case for Falling in Love: Why We Can’t Master the Madness of Love – and Why That’s the Best Part. I know, quite a mouthful, isn’t it? Take a moment and breathe. The blurb: Are you tired of hearing that men […]
This is the anti-romance rant I was BORN to write. ::snicker:: Okay, so it’s the two divorces, but still. For the longest time, I refused to read romance novels. They’re more fictitious than the most bizarre paranormal. Why? Because there’s always a happily ever after. I’m sorry, but that’s total bullshit, and this is why. You meet a guy. In […]
Sometimes I think I connect too deeply with characters in the books I read. Their lives become my life. I have a visual scrapbook of each encounter, able to flip through it any time I want to visit their world. It may be insane, but that’s me. Most of the characters I relate to are…different. They’re difficult, living on the […]
We’ve all been there–minding our own business, perusing the romance section at our local bookstore, when from behind the stacks of scantily clad women in leather comes a voice, “Romance.” ::snicker:: “That shit’s just porn for women.” Your first reaction might be violent, the second homicidal, but before you leap over the bookshelves and pummel the offending party within an […]
The rumor of Robert Downey, Jr’s involvement in the next trip into Anne Rice’s Vampire Chronicles finally reached me today. I was excited, worried, but mostly disturbed. There seems to be a curse that follows those who portray Lestat de Lioncourt on the big screen. It’s as if the pressure of portraying such an influential figure in paranormal fiction batters […]
Instead of writing like a good little girl, I did an amazing amount of reading this week. I swear to all that is holy, if that flu bug hits this house one more time, IT’S WAR!!!!!!! A few of my highlights were Eve Silver’s Demon’s Hunger, Nalini Singh’s Caressed By Ice, Rachel Vincent’s Pride, and Lara Adrian’s Midnight Awakening. It’s been a few months since I […]
I thoroughly blame my Aunt Jan for my obsession with classic movies. Ever since I can remember, we’d watch black and white movies on Saturday mornings at my grandmother’s house. She’s done much more for me in my twenty some odd years, but it’s this love that I return to whenever I feel down. At first it was a curiosity–who […]
