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.
Dorchester (Leisure Books) is the one who shut down Dara Joy. And it's all pretty complicated -- more than her simply writing a book for another publisher, I think.
Cassie Edwards has been writing for a looooong time. And yeah, her stuff is cliched and overwrought and full of stereotypes and just ... icky. There's good!bad guilty-pleasure romance, and then there's her, in my opinion.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Cassie Edwards was a staple item in my college dorm rooms. We couldn't LIVE without having one to mock and read out loud.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
My dorm stuck with Scotland. There was a quadrilogy about Renaissance brothers, one book per boy, that got ritually handed down by a graduating senior every year.

I love SBTN! And I saw the original post, but haven't updated on a kerfuffle, but omg, CE is AWFUL.
I remember reading quite a bit of her in the 80's, when I discovered puberty and romance novels in one swell foop. She the the queen of Bad Noble Savage Galloping-Thunder-Tomahawk-of-Love novels. Really bad stuff. Johanna Lindsey Noble Savage/Half-Breed stuff is a lot better than hers -- and JL is pretty.
For snark factor, Beatrice Small is my hands-down favorite, probably because she's raunchier, and the raunch is deliciously bad and breathtakingly hysterical to mock. I have shit MEMORIZED to riff with my sister.

Bertrice Small is infamous for the truly purple, like "love grotto" and "throbbing manroot." And she looks like your grandmother! Little and prim and very proper. So cute.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Ple, who wrote that book we were mocking at the Chicago F2F? With the human/animal love and whatnot?

Shit, maybe Meara remembers. I think she brought it.

The lynx book? I just remember seeing it in L.A. the year after, and flea recognizing it sight unseen based solely on the fact it had a lynx in it.

OH, god, the lynx book! ...I have no idea. I think it was a fairly well known author, but...I've totally forgotten.
