Seemingly the cockygate kerfuffle has been resolved.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

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."

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Because books.
I hope Faleena Hopkins is home stewing in her own inadequacy.

I kind of hope that her sales dwindle to nothing. And that she has to pay the other side's legal costs. And that the "Cocktales" book is a success.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Jasmine Guillory had an event here last week with a couple of local literary folks, and one of the things they did was recommend other romances to read -- and since the event was put on by a local bookstore, you could buy them right there. So that's why I'm currently reading Single White Vampire, and it is a hoot! His new editor thinks he's just a creative novelist, but no! He's a 600-year-old vampire.

Has anyone else read Wen Spencer's books? I'm currently enjoying Black Wolves of Boston - a different take on werewolves.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Henry! Became a short-lived but pretty tv series with Christina Cox and Dylan Neal.

I haven't read that one but one of my favorite books ever (A Brothers Price) is Wen Spencer

I discovered her when I picked up a sort-of SF/mystery book - Alien Taste and its sequel, Tainted Trail (I may have the order reversed). I liked A Brother's Price as well. Having decided she could write, I've been getting - and enjoying - about everything else she's written. Since I re-read, I had to wait for this last one to come out in paperback.

Yeah, I think I have most of her books until a few years ago, I haven't re-read them in a while (whereas brothers price is comfort re-reading for me)
