I like Thomas Hardy's novels.
Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

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."

Other sicko. No, no, still the first sicko. Don't think Homeland Security isn't watching, bub.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Just to be less vague, the column is for Romancing the Blog, which is a group blog of romance writers and readers. I do a column once a month, more or less.
So...I'm looking for more contemporary authors than historical figures (although Heyer is a great example, because she is beloved by romance readers and writers), and I intend to talk about branding, how prevalent it is, why it's not (perhaps) so necessary. Basically, why can't we all just write *books* of whatever stripe without a thousband different identities.
