Thanks, Jilli! And my girls thank you, too.
You're talking to Serenity. And, Early... Serenity is very unhappy.

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."

The status is NOT quo.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Oh, Merricat! Yep, I like all Shirley Jackson, although WHALATC, while a great story, is nowhere near the fleshcrawling GAAAAAAHHHHH-ness that THoHH inspires.
Now I'm trying to figure out the other author at the signing. Hmmm.
I had bought World War Z for my students last year. It's worth a look, then?

Paging Jilli! What were the YA vampire novels you recommended as antidotes for the Twilight series?
Not vampires, but werewolves, I loved "Blood and Chocolate" by Annette Curtis Klause (OK, she HAS a vampire book, "The Silver Kiss", but I didn't like it nearly as much).

Now if it was Angelus meets Melrose Place, I'd be there.

Because books.
John LOVED Melrose and all those shows.
But, hello, new title, please? Once Bitten is going to blend right into the crowd.

“Not dead yet!”

I've met John. This does not surprise me in the slightest.
Just overall makes me wanna pound my head into the keyboard.

You have?! How did I not know that? Isn't he a doll?

“Not dead yet!”
I met him at... some regional conference or another. I think it was at Desert Dreams. Maybe. They all start blending after a while. But yeah, he was very sweet and very animated and wearing what was quite possibly the most starched pair of jeans I've ever seen in my life.

I'm pretty sure he irons them.
