See, in my fantasy, when I'm kissing you... you're kissing me. It's okay. I can wait.

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."

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Martha Wells!

Jamie Scott & Holly Duncan. (They wrote a couple of very solid SG-1 novels.)

Karen Traviss. She's written original and a bunch of apparently very good Star Wars novels.

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

Would David Schwartz count as an upcoming sci-fi writer?

He's Nebula-nominated! I think so. Pimp the Knut!

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

Beautiful covers.

Did the U.S. get the same 'adult edition' covers that the U.K did? I always liked these - despite being fairly cynical marketing.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Nope, we just got the one set that were well-done, but definitely more aimed at the kid-lit market.

I've seen a couple of other neat-o fake book cover sites recently.
