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).
Oh... as they say, dear
Fiction:
Women's/Romance
Clare Willis's ONCE BITTEN, pitched as Angel meets Melrose Place, to John Scognamiglio at Kensington
Now if it was Angelus meets Melrose Place, I'd be there.
John LOVED Melrose and all those shows.
But, hello, new title, please? Once Bitten is going to blend right into the crowd.
John LOVED Melrose and all those shows.
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?
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.
Now if it was Angelus meets Melrose Place, I'd be there.
SNORLE! Heh.
Yeah, Amy, "Once Bitten?" Dude, that's the name of the first movie Jim Carrey starred in. I know, I loved it...in the 80's, when I was THIRTEEN.
