Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Because books.

The grammar and lack of talent there sound like every book I've ever copyedited for iUniverse.

“Not dead yet!”

The "reviews" killed me. All five-star, all mentioning how well the writer captured the essence of the South Carolina river setting. Family, friends, or local writers' group? Hmm...

Shit's all sorts of different now.

How does one mistakenly take someone else's virginity? Was he trying to put it in her purse?

You need to reread, she took her own virginity by mistake.

“Not dead yet!”

Clearly, it was a dark room and he thought she was some cheap trollop with whom he could enjoy a casual romp and it wasn't until the glitteriness of her hoo-haw was revealed, that he realized he'd just breached the ultimate fortress o'lurrrrrrve.

Or something like that.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Only if Wren is the hero. Maybe the MAN is the hero! It's a misdirect!

Nope my mistake, I thought Wren was the hero and Dragan was a bad dude. Never mind.

I tend to think of 'hero' as a gender neutral word.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Because the hero of my recently completed novel, Dargan's Desire, has mistakenly taken her virginity.

Gotta go with P-C here. Though honestly, I can imagine scenarios where she does it by accident more easily than him. (Note that I'm actively trying not to, but I think I can.)
