VIDEO Courtesan’s Daughter by Claudia Dain, Part 1 of 4
What can I say? Ned got bored of drawing stick figures.

Legos!!! *laughing my fool head off*
Can’t wait for the next part — but oh my god, how long did that animation take?
Sep 07, 2007 @ 15:36:08
Lego heroes and heroines!!!! Keeeewwwwlllll. I can’t wait to see what Ned thinks of a book with 3 chicks. That one was a riot – and man that must have taken a long time.

I think it was actually easier than the stick figure videos. We did have to buy some extra lego figures. I wanted to get the Aragorn one but it was $25 on EBay and Ned looked at me like I was insane. So I bought the sword and we were both happy.

I’m so excited! The anticipation was killing me — we’ve been hearing about this lego project behind the scenes since late July. Jane, it’s better than chocolate!
Sep 07, 2007 @ 15:49:49
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Sep 07, 2007 @ 16:04:54
Awesome! And hilarious!
Ned’s keeps raising the bar for the video reviews!
Sep 07, 2007 @ 16:27:07
ROTFL.
I need to find something as cool for hubby and me to bond over.
Note to self: new goal is life is to have lego video made of my books.

Dammit, you need smilies just for this reason because that deserves some good smilies. I love it!
Sep 07, 2007 @ 16:38:07
My favorite part of this installment is the conversation between Jane and Ned. “The Fog isn’t in this one, is he?” “Ah . . .” LOL! Genius, even without the added bonus of the Legos.
Sep 07, 2007 @ 17:30:42
LMBO! Too funny. Can’t wait to see part 2 with Ned’s final response.
Sep 07, 2007 @ 17:37:21
This will probably not turn out well.
I think you failed to think your cunning plan all the way through.
Unless the prostitute starts kicking ass in a final battle sequence.
Sep 07, 2007 @ 17:48:54
I love how the music turns into The Bangles.
Sep 07, 2007 @ 18:08:12
Ha! Love it. And, um, I don’t think $25 is too much for Aragorn. Just sayin’.
Sep 07, 2007 @ 18:14:43
Aragorn Lego?!?!?!? LOL – it’s come a long way since my kids (I) played with lego. Now I’m real curious though, as to what a Aragorn Lego looks like.
Sep 07, 2007 @ 18:57:10
Ha ha! That was hilarious.
Sep 07, 2007 @ 19:08:22
No! You’re so evil. A series review?!? I want parts 2-3 NOW.
Sep 07, 2007 @ 22:05:17
What Ann said!

I must say I really enjoyed Claudia Dane’s book “The Holding”. It was the first romance that I read and was a little nervous before reading the book but Jane assured me no one would ever find out. I liked the book so much that after finishing the book, I decided that I could forgo my own self imposed nickname (that my wife would never use) The Duke, and start using The Fog. I think she called me it once just for giggles. I am glad you are enjoying part 1, we enjoyed producing it!

Very cool stuff! I loved how the manly man (with the big sword!) morphed into the girly heroine (minus sword). Can’t wait to see parts 2-4. :)
Sep 08, 2007 @ 07:20:09
I’ve been a fan of this website for the past year and have never found a compelling reason to come out of lurkdom except for now. I just have to say how much I enjoyed this video review and how much I appreciate that it’s been done with humor and lots of love for the genre. And to have it come from a man’s point of view makes it even more meaningful. Bring on parts 2-4! Am so looking forward to laughing my head off again!!
Sep 08, 2007 @ 07:24:41
Sorry, my mistake! I meant ” reader blog” instead of “website”…
Sep 08, 2007 @ 12:36:57
Oh my, that is hilarious. Going to have to get my husband to watch it too. Though since I can’t get him to read ANY fiction, a romance is out of the question.
Sep 08, 2007 @ 16:02:21
This wee video may change the entire Romance book industry! Yes, manly men like Ned’s brethren will now be able to comprehend and appreciate the complexities of chick porn!
Bravo, Ned! Bring on part 2!
Sep 08, 2007 @ 22:43:00
That was truly cool. Huh, I’ve been wondering what to give GG next to read. He recently read LMR’s latest and liked it. Maybe I’ll hand him THE HOLDING. That will be after I show him this video and Ned’s comments. :)
Sep 09, 2007 @ 07:17:46
Jane, you (and Ned) rock. I’d been wondering what the lego thing would be about, but this really exceeded any expectations!
Sep 09, 2007 @ 10:30:46
Oh yeah…now lego prices will skyrocket. :)
Sep 09, 2007 @ 18:40:18
The H-Bomb (age 4) made me watch it 3 times. He gives the lego figures a thumbs up, but wants to know where the guy with the sword went.
Sep 10, 2007 @ 11:08:06
:dies of funny!:
Okay, now my attorney is asking me if I am okay because apparently I’ve been making strangled noises. It’s good I’m on lunch.
Sep 18, 2007 @ 21:26:55
So hilarious! I love a guy with a good sense of humor (and a deft hand with Lego animation). Can’t wait for Pt. 2!
