You two carried me through that war. Now I need you to carry me just a little bit further. If you can.

Yay Allyson! [sits on the Complete Lack of Surprise bench]

Looking forward to reading Sam for my daughter. She's kind of a bat-fan, so Sam'll be right up her alley.

Also, belated Yays for Barb and Amy!

I talked to my new editor today! She ... sounds about twelve, but she's smart and funny and very enthusiastic.

Sounds exciting.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

She ... sounds about twelve

Team Edward or Team Jacob?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

She ... sounds about twelve

I don't know if it's me getting older or if this is a thing with young women today, but I have that reaction to a lot of actually-adult-and-even-talking-about-serious-things female voices, lately.

Regardless - yay, enthusiasm!

Because books.

Team Edward or Team Jacob?

Bwah! We actually bonded over our lack of Twilight love, for which I was truly grateful.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Also, this is not a zombie *romance* in the traditional sense.

Heh. Amy, I just came across this review of Zombieland by a friend of mine, whose opening paragraph contains these lines:

Let's face it. Zombies are gross. I don't care how many teen zombie romance books you’ve read where the girl falls in love with one. Not going to happen. Zombies = gross.

...Exactly how many teen zombie romance books are there?

Yay, Allyson! It's so nice to come in here and see more good publishing news!

“Not dead yet!”

...Exactly how many teen zombie romance books are there?

There are quite a few P-C. It's been a growing trend in the last eighteen months or so.

There's ZOMBIE QUEEN OF NEWBERY HIGH; YOU'RE SO UNDEAD TO ME (which has a sequel); GENERATION DEAD (also has a sequel).

Those are just off the top of my head, but it's been the reaction of publishing in the wake of the vampire saturation.


Amy - Oct 26, 2009 12:37:44 pm PDT #2726 of 6693
Because books.

Um, I don't know? Not any, I don't think. The point of mine is, bringing your boyfriend back from the dead is *not* a good idea, so we're talking more Buffy/"Becoming" than a Twilight-esque (creepy) happily ever after.


Amy - Oct 26, 2009 12:39:16 pm PDT #2727 of 6693
Because books.

I don't know about The Zombie Queen, but from what I know of Generation Dead, they're still not zombies in the Romero sense -- they simply don't lie down when they're dead or something, right?
