This past week was a blur of family vacationing and getting ready for school. I just had my first day today as well, so my reading is already taking a toll with my energy. High school throws punches like that. My reading is going to hopefully continue at a semi-similar pace, and I’m going to [...]

A reader emailed me this morning to apprise me of a feud which erupted between Laurell K Hamilton fans and PC Cast fans taking place primarily on the two facebook profiles of the authors. Apparently in Awakened, a YA book by PC Cast, one character makes a dig Anita Blake and Laurell K Hamilton: Im [...]

There is something about Amazon that brings out the crazy in everyone. First up is some Western author who won some award for the only book he has for sale at Amazon criticizing Susanna Fraser for daring to have a book with the SAME TITLE! I know, egregious isn’t it? I’m very aware that book [...]

Okay. So before I begin reviewing the anthology NEVER AFTER I have two warnings. #1: YE OLDE SPOILERS AHOY. Seriously. I am incapable of talking about stories without-talking about stories. #2: This will be disjointed as hell. There are plenty of reviewers who are capable of smooth, cohesive, intelligent reviews. I am not one of [...]

For your Tuesday viewing pleasure check out the paper craft work of Su Blackwell who turns books into sculptures. Not to be missed. (Via @sara_lindsey) Wendy, the Super Librarian, brings up the issue of elitism in romance press coverage and wonders if the coverage of that extreme (Ivy league educated individuals writing and reading romance) can [...]

I actually had to create my own mythology regarding the characters in this series in order for me to continue enjoying the [...]

Apparently, Ballantine and Penguin aren’t doing a good enough job with their publicity efforts on Laurell K Hamilton’s behalf. LKH’s assistant, Darla, purportedly posted the following two pictures on MySpace: I don’t even need to explain how terrible (and wonderful) these are. I pondered many a title for this post: Bam Ruins Anita Blake and [...]

This, of course, is in the vein of the “news” at the Onion. K. Greer has noted that there is a new disease that seems to be infecting bestselling authors who primarily write sexual brooding vampires. If you are an author with such a character or know of an author with such a character, you [...]

Dear Ms. Hamilton: Other than really funny (albeit unintentionally so) excerpts from your blog, I haven’t read anything by you in a year. Unlike other readers who can’t quit you, I have weaned myself off the Anita series. I haven’t read the last two books. This is quite an accomplishment for me. Unfortunately, despite my [...]

Okay, not the character, but the series. According to a transcript provided by author, E.E. Knight, Laurell K Hamilton said at Archcon: LKH: “Gave myself enough toys” * (guns mythology folklore) and let “series go in a direction I didn't forsee” * Meredith Gentry series is looking to be 15 books too. The loud moans [...]
