And what's the fun in becoming an immortal demon if you're not regular, am I right?

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."

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Tighter deadline means they are paying you more -- doesn't it? (Among other things - no time for a day job)

I've certainly thought about that, and I'll mention it when we get to the contract stage. But it wouldn't be a deal breaker for me. Their standard contract is nicely structured, increasing royalties as sales hit higher marks. Also, the bonus of getting to do a music book for them would make it worthwhile anyway.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

... and add another YAY for the good news on Karen. I've worried about her, but haven't kept up with you on all the updates.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Cool. As everyone says it is a perfect book for you. Congrats. But I'm glad you will at least try for some extra money. Cause it is really hard for a writer to bargain.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Awesome, Hec! I expect to be coming to a reading at City Lights next year.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Congratulations, Hec!

In other news, this book review had me crying with laughter.

Because books.

Hee. I know the woman who wrote that book. I used to edit her historical romances in my former life. To be fair, her historicals started off really well, and declined pretty quickly, and when she said she was going to write erotica, I was like, Buzzah?!

That review made me laugh so hard, my stomach hurts. Ah, Smart Bitches, how I love you. "This dude hath not a workable stiffy."

YAY Hec!
