I thought her pseudonym sounded familiar, and then from the notes at the end and some of the comments I figured out it must be her. I do love her writing. And I hadn't heard that she sold her YA series -- that's excellent news!
Fred: It's the pictures in my mind that are getting me. It's like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs. Wesley: Why imagine? Reality's disturbing enough.

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."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I've been re-reading all of the Miles Vorkosigan books, and I just realized why I always feel warmly towards NPR's Martin Kaste (which I looked up for the spelling) -- of course it's because of Ma Kosti and her Martin!
Also, I think I like the later books better because Naismith stresses me out.

Because books.
Does anyone have the link to where it starts? I meant to bookmark the original post about it and never did, I guess.
Also, anyone read Maisie Dobbs? I had to put it down. I think the idea is fantastic, and I love the time period, and setting, but sentences like "They agreed to meet at seven and bade each other good-bye, then replaced their respective telephone receivers" is just too much micro-pacing and unnecessary detail for me.
