It will either be "OMG, how clever," or very "WTF?"
I walk. I talk. I shop, I sneeze. I'm gonna be a fireman when the floods roll back. There's trees in the desert since you moved out. And I don't sleep on a bed of bones.

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.

They have had a blog with a live feed to lj about the writing of the novel. It sounds to me like it should be interesting.

Because books.
Even weirder, I saw a TV spot for it just this afternoon, on HGTV. Book spots are few and far between, and I don't think I've ever seen one for a Crusie book before.

The only ones I've ever seen have been if Patterson puts an Alex Cross book out. Like he needs the attention!

Generally the only TV spots for books are for authors who are already bestsellers. Not only is that the way publishers justify spending the money, once you're a bestseller you kind of have to stay one, or there's doom for all. Publishers will plan print runs based on your last book, and then they need to make sure all those copies are bought.

I understand this...Dr. Cross left me hanging some time ago, so I got some spleen to work out. Patterson, bring it, bitch. And stop practicing your Mysterious Face...is annoying.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
I was surprised the first time I saw a TV ad for an Iris Johansen thriller. I remember buying her first book, a Loveswept romance, when it was first published back in 1980 (it was one of the six books in the initial Loveswept launch, along with a Sandra Brown book that I later loaned to a classmate and never got back--that one's probably worth some bucks by now).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think I'll have to pick the Crusie/dude book up.
