		<description>I think Thomas Harris&#039; sequel to Silence of the Lambs was very late.  And a disaster as far as I am concerned.</description>

		<description>@Kalen Hughes - wasn&#039;t Charles Frasier&#039;s sequel to Cold Mountain several years later? There are a handful of authors that can get away with it.</description>

		<description>@&lt;a href=&quot;#comment-210541&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Elizabeth&lt;/a&gt;: Why, the color of money of course! Green!

And that *is* the greatest invention of our time.

And I will marry the man who buys me my first dedicated e-reading device. Seriously, I need it that much.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;On the NY Observer article, at first I thought by â€œlateâ€ they meant a few months or something, but there&#039;s the scenario one agent mentions: â€œ&#039;O.K., this book is two years late. Do we want it anymore?&#039;â€ Two years?!&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Reminds me of the Hollywood idea of what being a published author is like (you know, the whole &lt;em&gt;Stranger than Fiction &lt;/em&gt;thing where a lit fic author gets a special assistant from her publisher because she&#039;s got writer&#039;s block *riiiiiiight*, or the bit in &lt;blockquote&gt;Bones&lt;/blockquote&gt; where her publisher buys her a car *rolls eyes*). The only people who *get* to be two years late pretty much never would be. Two years late means the author is having some kind of life crisis.</description>

		<description>Yes, Time-traveling Viking Navy SEALs is a common trope. ;-) Embarrassingly, I do read that sort of thing, but for the same reason as the blond character (Penelope) does--for the amusement. It&#039;s a nice palate cleanser. When you go back to the good stuff, you realize just how good it really is.</description>

		<description>&quot;Time-traveling Viking Navy SEAL romance novels&quot; - lol!  Unfortunately, I&#039;m sure this is the sort of thing people think of when I tell them &quot;I read (and usually enjoy) romance novels.&quot;

On the NY Observer article, at first I thought by &quot;late&quot; they meant a few months or something, but there&#039;s the scenario one agent mentions: &quot;&#039;O.K., this book is two years late. Do we want it anymore?&#039;&quot;  Two years?!</description>

		<description>With your links round-up, I thought I&#039;d add this to the list. One of my favorite online comics did a strip about bad romance novels: http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1281

Questionable Content is a little heavy on music geek talk, but the characterization is pretty great. I&#039;d suggest reading more than just this particular episode.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;SBTB has the second entry up of Doc Turtle&#039;s blog a long of J.R. Ward&#039;s Dark Lover. It&#039;s funny but painful if you liked the book (like me). &lt;/blockquote&gt;

But all the more hysterical if you didn&#039;t like it (like me). 

Oh, and it&#039;s the third entry today, don&#039;t miss any of them if you&#039;re inclined to pop over (and don&#039;t drink anything while you read; your computer will thank you).</description>
