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 the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
I used to have the Dennis Wheatley book with that exact cover. I may still (not sure I ever got around to reading it, but the Hammer movie was quite good).

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I am pretty sure I still have the 2 Victoria Holt books at my mom's house.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Victoria Holt is Jean Plaidy--pass it on!
I think she has another pen name, too. I'm just too lazy to Google right now.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
eep ... shades of summers past! I went through just about all of Victoria Holt - many with those same covers. And I still have that edition of Barbara Michaels' Witch and I also had the Dennis Wheatley one ... or at least, my father did.

And say it with me one more time:
AAAAAAAYYYYYYYIIIIIIII!!!!
FICTION: THRILLER
APOCALYPSE HAPPENS and THUNDER MOON Lori Handeland's SHAKESPEARE UNDEAD, inspired by a conversation with her editor at RWA and quickly turned into a proposal exploring the Bard and vampires, zombies and more, to Jennifer Enderlin of St. Martin's, for publication in spring 2010, by Irene Goodman at Irene Goodman Agency (world).
Inspired by a conversation with her editor. At RWA. Which was where I was last week. And it'll be published in the spring.
Oy.

Because books.
Huh. I can't be too mad because I love Lori (she was one of my first authors at Kensington, and she really is a very talented author), but that's ... a stretch, for sure.

“Not dead yet!”
I'd react the same way if it was any author, I think. I've read her for the RITAs and liked her work. It's just the amorphous, "oooh, this is popular, how can we spin it, let's use SHAKESPEARE!" vibe to the whole deal.
