I was just rereading the Nora Roberts Circle Trilogy books this weekend (the ones with the circle of six good guys, including a sorceror, his vampire brother, a witch, a shape-shifter, a queen, and a vampire hunter ["Like Buffy?" "Sort of, but I'm not the only one."] battling the queen of vampires on another planet). There's a funny scene when the shape-shifter is heading out on a recon mission and decides to take out the vampires' SUV with a unicorn horn stab to all four tires.
Now, this would be the perfect time for a swear word.

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."

I'm tired of vampires and zombies.
I'm not tired of WELL-WRITTEN, INTERESTING ONES. Which there is a marked lack of, dammit.
Okay, FINE. Once I get the revisions for this next Steampunk Tales story done, I will start working on my paranormal YA book. Where the vampires are NOT GOOD GUYS.

I ADORE those two movies. I've owned them FOREVER (actually, my 2nd and 3rd DVD purchases, after "Dark City")
SH have you also seen Theater of Blood (I'm pretty sure Hec has)? Not nearly as stylish, but it's got more great British character actors, Price doing Shakespeare, and Diana Rigg!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
(I'm pretty sure Hec has)?
Yup. I'm still not quite recovered from seeing Vincent in a giant afro wig playing a flaming hairdresser.
Psst! It's on YouTube in four parts.

I think Robert Morley being fed his own poodles is the part that did me in. As a long time "punting" dog hater, I'm afraid I enjoyed that scene a little too much.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I'm reading Patricia Briggs' "Hunting Ground"; it's set in Seattle and guess where the hero and heroine stayed? Yup - the Monaco!
