Jane is a long time romance reader whose passion is, you guessed it, reading. Jane also does not like to talk about herself in the third person, but apparently this is the way that this biography thing works (although in a true biography, someone else would be writing this blurb). Anyway, currently Jane loves urban fantasy authors Patricia Briggs and Ilona Andrews. She's really excited about this year's crop of historicals including Joanna Bourne's The Spymaster's Lady and Sherry Thomas' Private Arrangements and the upcoming Loretta Chase Her Scandalous Ways. She's looking for a good contemporary author. Email her with a recommendation! Email this author | All posts by Jane

1. 1	by Roslyn September 7th, 2007 at 2:23 pm Oh my effing God, I thought I was the only one with a publisher stupid enough to misspell my freaking name! And to do it with a celebrity like Rosie, WoW! Guess I shouldn’t feel so bad, huh?

3. 3	by Ayalyn September 8th, 2007 at 10:32 am I can’t stand Rosie O’Donnell, so I will not be buying her book. I do agree about bad editing though and can’t understand how I can spot misspellings when I have dyslexia and so called professionals miss what I can see.

   by Alexandria September 10th, 2007 at 11:10 pm I recently purchased a hardback book that had a word on the cover misspelled. It said “When desire meats destiny”! Meats? I love Rosie O’donnell. Well, perhaps I just love the way she gets under the skin of Fox News people. I refuse to call them anchors. Damn, they’re still taking pot shots at her.
