But one whiff of this Foxwoman’s delicious honeysuckle fragrance and he knows that she is more than a colleague or a conquest…she is his mate.
Is this by the psychic oceleot romance writer?
Oh, yeah, baby, it's snakalicious in here.

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."

Maybe not a white guy, but I bet you've seen a picture of a rapper, say, with them.
Generally not in a single one, though.
I do accept that I wouldn't actually point and laugh. Well, I might point and laugh at ND, but probably not because of his hair. Nonetheless, it's a pretty unusual style for a guy (a single braid? Totally normal for a guy with long hair. French braid? Pretty darn unusual. Trying to say the french braid makes it look like short hair? Um)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Something literary from the NYTimes review of a new book, Flapper.
If "Flapper" does ascribe the birth of the jazz age to the nubile young Zelda Sayre, Fitzgerald's future bride — whose taste for mischief once led her to pin mistletoe to her derrière — it soon moves on to other examples. Consider the quaint courtroom case of Eugenia Kelly, a 19-year-old heiress whose mother, Helen Kelly, feared that Eugenia had become the victim of a "tango pirate" and was "likely to become depraved." For Miss Kelly an inheritance was at stake, and it trumped the tango pirate's charms. But for other, less privileged American changelings, there was every reason to abandon old ideas of decorum and sample the jazziest of the new.
It is a sad comment on our society that so few aspire to be tango pirates anymore.

her new musical, Jesus Christ Mary Sue.
BWAH!
My step-mother just sent me a couple books by some friends of hers. They are Tony Hillerman/Angel crossovers. Seriously. A Navajo cop (although NM State Police, not Tribal Police) gets turned into a vampire, but he's still good and fights (supernatural) crime.
I read the first one in one biking session. The plot isn't all that bad, but my word. The writing is atrocious. And I'm as close to the perfect target audience as you can get!

OMG... Of course Sherman Alexie's "Indian Killer" guarantees I see Hillerman as an insecure, wanna-be bedwetter because that's what his Hillerman-type is like...it really has influenced my view of him. What's a tango pirate?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
What's a tango pirate?
Like a stevedore. Only with a rose in his teeth.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
And better footwork.
