Stoner Vamp ,'Lessons'
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."
Example synopsis of the revolutionary heroine:
the story of a Special Forces captain who must figure out who is cloning government agents
Now, what do you have to do to that (in addition to adding a love interest) to make it in the romance genre, not the action genre.
Because if it were a story about a male Special Forces captain (who usually ended up getting the girl), it wouldn't be romance. It would be Clive Cussler thriller.
Part of it is that balance between the romance and action/suspense portions of the story, but also it's because they're published by Harlequin/Silhouette and other romance publishers and shelved as romance.
I'm about done with a book that might have some crossover appeal: Good News, Bad News, by David Wolstencroft. He's the creator of Spooks/MI-5. It's fun, although even if I didn't know he was a tv guy, there's a lot of tv in it -- it opens with an ultra-dramatic teaser, and then flashes back to the build-up.
New Hannibal Lecter novel coming to a bookstore near you, and then a theater, of course.
Jesse, that sounds like a lot of fun.
(and slashy)
I'm so corrupted.
I wouldn't say it's slashy in the implementation, but that's me. YSMV.
Oh, for God's sake, Harris. Let It Go. Didn't Hannibal wreck the character enough for you? It did for me. Argh.
New Hannibal Lecter novel coming to a bookstore near you, and then a theater, of course.
Given where they left Clarice in the book vs. the movie, I think any film version is going to be in name only.
It's a prequel, so cue more embarrassing pony-tail action from Gammon Hopkins.
Francis Crawford fans may enjoy the story of the zombified Master of Culter. Bwah.
