Play nice, or I'll blow the Adam Levine whistle!

Ellora's Cave published the first in my UNDEAD series. Until recently, that was never embarrassing. Yeah, their insistence on smut over all else was annoying ("You need to re-write the prologue, otherwise the only thing driving the first ten pages is plot and characterization, gross."), and to this day I'm still…

Not at all. I don't get some of the scorn for Jez writers here. I just discovered the site a year or so ago and now get about 95% of my news here (the other 5% = The Daily Show). Yeah, you guys have a definite slant but unlike some you don't keep it a secret (*cough* Fox News *cough-cough*). Anyone coming here for an…

I'm on Jez every day and I missed it the first time around. Don't apologize for twice sharing an infuriating story about something that could happen to any of us.

"If it fits, I sits" is my new motto for life, starting about a second after I read your post. Thank you! :-)

Oh! I collect egg cups. Now I must collect hedgehogs and MAKE THIS HAPPEN IN MY LIFE ALL THE TIME. Thank you so much. Did not expect anything to cheer me up after this revolting proof that mankind is doomed.

This is what Andrew Vachss, Alice Vachss' husband, had to say about it in his book HARD CANDY:

Oh yes. My daughter blames me for her vanity. She honest-to-God shouted at me "thanks to all your praise over the years, all the times you backed me up and told me I could do anything I put my mind to, now thanks to all that I have a HUGE ego!" One of those "do I laugh? or hit her? or cry? Dunno…" parenting moments.

Aw, now you've made me all nostalgic for Prom season! ;-)

Shotguns. We didn't have much money when I was a kid, so my folks taught me how to fish and hunt. By age 14 I was regularly putting food on the table and wondering what city kids did to fill their time. ;-)

How about the way this charming, older dog frisked about him like a puppy? The years just disappeared when they were reunited argh my face is wet AGAIN...

As an author, I want any of my books available to any of my readers in any format they prefer. Hardcover? Paperback? Electronic? Audio? Checkcheckcheckcheck. I get a lot of "when will book X be available on Kindle?" and the answer is always the same: tell Amazon exactly what you want! Command them to obey you! Or just…

I write paranormal romance and the sex can get smutty. When my kids were younger they clamored to read my books. Nope. "You have no idea the favor I'm doing you by forbidding this." When my daughter was 17 I gave unilateral permission but by then: nope. "I'll razor out the sex scenes," I promised. "No good. You might…

Love. Love. Love Louis. Love you. All the loves: for you. :-)

Yesyesyes! I loved the books *before* GRRM let us into Cersei's head, but after AFFC I wanted to track GRRM down and kiss him on the mouth. She was such a brilliant fiery car crash. Could not. Look away.

Look, Georgia is a multi-million dollar installation. You can't make that kind of decision, you're just a grunt! Uh, no offense.

Loving you so much right now. :-)

Does 'thinking outside the shoebox' mean 'desiging shoes that must under no circumstances be worn, ever, by people with feet, ever'? It does, doesn't it?

He looks like a pure thug and played a white-supremecist gang rapist on TV; it's easy to forget how smart he is.

Heh. Awesome. I write vampire books myself and it's shameful I've never read Dracula, just seen the movies. It's well past time to rectify...I thought your comment was funny and clever, and also really good advice. Thank you!
