I wrote from poor, doomed Isabella's POV for my upcoming book, DEJA NEW. Researching Mary Ann Cotton was as infuriating as it was horrifying. From my author's notes:

Dear Author is wonderful. As an author, their refusal to kiss ass can be annoying<g>, but as a reader they're gold.

Yes. Exactly. I got my start with them a decade ago, and am embarassed at how long it took me to wise up. This "it's not us, it's EVERYBODY ELSE WHO SUCKS AND IS TERRIBLE AND WE'LL SUE YOU FOR LIBEL BECAUSE WRITING MEAN THINGS IS LIBEL" defense is classic Ellora's Cave. They're never at fault. Ever. It's always a…

TELL ME LIES was wonderful, too. I literally LOL'd through the whole thing.

Me, too! I gobble J.D. Robb but what's weird is Nora Roberts leaves me cold. No idea how that's even possible!

I'm tired, so at first I saw it as "Steve Harvey Invites Paula Deen to Murder 100 Black Boys". I was outraged and puzzled. They'll never be able to spin that, I thought, succumbing to snores. This could be the thing she can't get back from.

I'm going to insist they play this at my funeral.

Our entire family now sings "WEE-ner weiner WEE-ner weiner…" whenever we hear the GoT theme. Since we all have it on our phones, there's a lot of weiner singin' at our house. I probably shouldn't have shared that.

This was so beautiful it brought a tear to my eye.

Cool Hwip?

Oh, aphasia! You make me sound drunk when I'm dry like a desert.

It's not shampoo. He's subliminally aware of his intense hotness and blinding sensuality, and sometimes it's too bright, even for him. He squints so he doesn't consume himself like a black hole of eroticism sucking down a white dwarf of intensity.

Sherlock did it for me. And I guess Star Trek had other actors in it, too? They were some kind of space fleet on some kind of trek? Who cares, because: Khan. Also I might have bought a new vibrator I call Ben (when I am pleased with him) and Dict (prounounced "Dicked" when he displeases me).

You wouldn't believe how many DV apologists have convinced themselves most people are there simply to get a brand spanking new jersey. Do not visit the Baltimore Ravens Facebook page. It will devour your soul.

Jesus. That's so terrible it's wonderful. :-)

"That very mismanagement could even be a boon to the cause." Thank you! I've thought this from the beginning but felt incredibly guilty for it, and wouldn't have dared post it. But yeah, in a terrible way, the NFL screwing this up so spectacularly is, I think, going to turn out to be incredibly significant in all the…

I'm late to the party, JimGray, but that was outstanding. :-)

JESUS CHRIST. When I wake up screaming at 3:00 a.m., I'm e-mailing you guys. Chris Sale is become death, the destroyer of worlds.

You win EVERYTHING today. :-)

This was brilliant and terrible. Thank you.
