Crud-- I wasn't sure if it was a Mac-only app. Pity, because it really is rocking.

Barb, I just tweeted your way, if you're wondering who that is with the salt chocolate caramels.

Mmm, Easter eggs.

That's very cool about the YA proposal, Barb!

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

That sounds great, Barb.

I have been reading a variety of paranormalish books recently, and they almost all seem to involve an increasingly powerful protagonist, politics, conspiracy, sex and the end of the world. Is there a market for something more whimsical, like a book titled something like A Rumor of Trolls? I have an Idea.

Know nothing of fiction markets, but intriguing title.

Is is for kids, Ginger?

There's definitely stuff out there with paranormal aspects that aren't end-of-world, but they still have high stakes for the protagonist *or* they lean toward the funny. Nova Ren Suma's forthcoming Imaginary Girls is an example, or Sarah Mlynowski's Bras and Broomsticks series. Also something like Brenna Yovanoff's The Replacement, which is more horror than big paranormal epic.
