Contest-y goodness
**This is not a new post. I’ve just bumped it up because I’m announcing a winner.** (titles redacted since none of them were selected) If more than one person picks the right title, they ALL get ARCs. And if marketing makes up their own title, and doesn’t pick one from my list (or if nobody [...]
Your torch has burnt out.
It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue. If you recognize these lines, then you’re as much of a dork as I am. In case you’re not, they come from Zork, the first computer game I ever played. I was just a little kid, playing a text based game on [...]
Winners!
Well, the contest didn’t go quite as I anticipated. The two correct answers I was looking for were: Pinky and the Brain and The Simpsons. There are two questions that very clearly reference those shows: one has to do with a helper monkey, and the other is Brain’s infamous “Are you thinking what I’m thinking?” [...]

Separation
I’ve been following the post over at Dear Author called What It Means to Be a Fan. I’ve read all the comments, many of which are thoughtful and well-considered. But I’m really not interested in the minute gradiations that separate fan from fangirl from fangrrrl to rabid fangirl and so on. It’s the comments more [...]
Seven Random Things
So that vixen (and mega-talented author) Lauren tagged me… Seven Random Facts About Me: 1. I have two stuffed penguins on my bookshelf that I use as bookends. I ran out and bought them after I sold to Ace (which is owned by Penguin). Why yes, I am a dork. 2. There’s a noche buena [...]
Like a Thief in the Night
As soon as I realized yesterday was Bettie Sharpe’s release day, I headed over to Samhain and picked up my copy of this novella. And though I had other things I really needed to be doing, I sat down and read it right then. Why? Well, if you’d read any of her work, you wouldn’t [...]
