Because We All Need a Good Laugh
By Jane • Apr 12th, 2008 • Category: Interviews, Misc • •My favorite part is the 4:19 mark. I laughed so hard that Ned came over to see what was going on. Kresley is giving us some books to give away next week or so. Stay tuned. Update: Here is the link for all the videos.
Updated to add: I’m currently being grilled as to why I find these videos funny.
Ned: What is it about these videos that you find funny?
Jane: They just are.
Ned: But what is it, specifically?
Jane: 0_0
Ned: What?
Jane: Why are you asking me?
Ned: Are they reviewing books? Making fun of something?
Jane: It’s just funny. I think it’s funny.
Ned: I don’t get it.
Final update: Have watched them all. Nearly peed my pants. Showalter and Monroe are hysterical.
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!

If you mean when Gena ‘gives birth’ to her first paranormal, then yes, that had me choking. Funny ladies.
Confession: although I love Cole’s paranormals, I haven’t yet tried Showalter or Monroe. I really must give them a go.
Meriam - you might want to try Monroe’s Primal Instincts. And you have to watch the Vincent video. They are all pretty funny.
This was funny. But then I watched the interview Jill and Gena did with PC and Kristen (Krissie) Cast and really roared. Have you seen that one? Oh is it priceless. Those two - Jill and Gena- are hilarious!
Hahahaha! That’s hysterical! So there are others? I can see my next hour will be wasted.
Man, those are great! I can’t wait to hit it big and have them interview me. :o) I’ve bookmarked that site for the next videos.
There are five in total. I put up the link to the blog. Very creative. Very funny. They all make me want to read the authors books, both that of the interviewers and interviewees.
Jane I had a similar conversation with boy #2 when he caught me laughing at the Rachel Vincent interview!
What a great idea! So funny and clever.
Ah, authors who have a sense of humor about themselves. Isn’t that a much needed shot of normalcy after the past couple of days.
LOVED the birth of A Hunger Like No Other. Hysterical.
I had so much fun making that Kresley Cole video. The best part is how Jill Monroe can hold a straight face through anything. The dancing, well, it’s a thing of beauty and I’ve decided not to question such. . . talent :)
The dance and birth made me spew my drink all over.
*G*
ok, gotta chime in and agree that the birthing scene was wayyyy too funny. I work at a uni with a large conservatory, so i’ve seen my fair share of modern dance, but i gotta say, gena, you put them all to shame. :)
all i wanna know now is where is Rydstrom’s book?!?!?! *grumble*
I loved this interview - I found it on Gena’s blog, and I laughed so hard I nearly choked. Jill and Gena are too much! :D
i used the ‘nearly peed in my pants’ reference when I was describing the videos to Angie. I swear every single one of these just kill me. I *heart* Gena and Jill.
I met Gena and Jill at RT last year and they’re a riot! I LOVE these videos. The “birth scene” really had me cracking up!
That was very funny. It is very nice to see authors not taking themselves seriously. I love folks with a high threshold for embarrassment. I’m a children’s librarian so I have to have one.
Thanks for the laugh!!!!!! This was great. Really great.
That was the funniest piece, where you give birth. Ah, priceless. I must try one of your books. Do you all do these types of interviews regularly?
I see Jane provided the link to the rest. My bad. Love them. Will look into reading your books.
I think I fall in the not really getting it camp, but it looks like they are having a lot of fun. I did find the birth of the book funny, but that was it. I think its one of those things like the Office for me - I probably have to watch a few of these to start getting into it.
Those were hysterical. I have to admit that I haven’t read Gena yet (have some of hers in the TBR) but I was suprised I didn’t have any of Jill’s books…must fix that.
You go to your brother’s birthday party and find out there’s another party going on without you!
Jane - I loved the conversation you had with your husband over these. My husband can usually be found just shaking his head.
Robin and Devon - every time I think I’ve reached my threshold for embarrassment, I just go a little bit further. And no, Gena and I never really take ourselves seriously - in fact, if you ever see her in person, feel free to call her Gyna.
Keishon - we’ve been trying to get videos up every other Friday.
I’m so glad everyone is enjoying the Author Talk videos. For my birthday, Gena bought me the authortalk website.
That was so much fun to watch, Gyna and Munro! I love your books, especially Gyna’s exciting Working For The Devil and Jill Munro’s equally dreamy Dreams and Dream Narratives in the Biblical World. Can’t wait to have you autograph the books at RT!
:::grin:::
LMAO. Jill and Gena - the Lucy and Ethel of our generation.
Thank you! I’ve never laughed so hard! Loved the book birth!
Doreen
Oh
My
Gosh
When the book fell out…well, I think I might have busted something laughin. :)
OMG, that was hilarious!!! Now I have to go watch the rest of the videos….
