It's October, the month of all that is spooky and scary, and I have to admit I have Halloween on the brain. Maybe it's because I just finished my very first paranormal, Dark Embers, which is the first in a series of dragon shapeshifters that will be released starting in 2010. Maybe it's because I'm in the middle of reading a round of fabulous paranormals by the likes of Jacqueline Frank, Shayla Black,...

My Favourite Books (Free subscription) | 09/18/2009
We know already that I’m a big fan of Christine Feehan and I love her Carpathian series. I think we can all agree that if a series has been going for as long as this (16 books so far, I think) some books will be better than others. I am very happy to announce that, in my opinion, “Dark Slayer” is one of the best books in the series. I won't give you a summary of what's happened so...

see more Lolcats and funny pictures I was telling a friend of mine about Christine Feehan the other day. I had picked up Dark Slayer to read after a long absence. I realized that if my friend picked up Feehan today that she would think Feehan was derivative. After all Feehan’s books are marked [...]

Dear Ms. Feehan: I haven’t read one of your books for some time despite being an earlier devotee of your pioneering Carpathian series. The blurb for Dark Slayer sounded fascinating and the cover was quite evocative. Ivory Malinov is the vampire boogie man (or woman as the case may be). There is not a [...]

The Misadventures of Super_Librarian (Free subscription) | 08/11/2009
When I took my current job buying adult fiction I was coming from one of our smaller libraries, with practically zero budget. Two things that really bothered me while I was "out there" working with the public? We never got new Large Print and I was the sole supplier for my branch's romance paperback section. So when I took this job? Yeah, I was determined to order both using our central budget...

I'll start with a couple of items from Gabrielle Fausts Eternal Vigilance site. First is news of the " Tru Blood & Gold " Vampire Ball to be held in New Orleans over Halloween this year. The second is for a worthy cause - a haunted house event to be held in Austin, Texas with the aim of raising $25000 for breast cancer research - I have added the "Scare for a Cure" Logo over...

Book: Burning Wild (Leopard People, #3) by Christine Feehan This book is just baffling. It's well enough written to be quite readable, but I can only conclude I am very much not its target demographic. I kept on coming to scenes whose purpose was perfectly obvious, and which affected me in a way totally orthogonal to that purpose. For example: this book's very first scene begins from the point of...

Bred by capricious parents for his innate leopard-shifting abilities, billionaire Jake Bannaconni has spent his life in an emotional vacuum--especially after a tragic twist of fate left him to raise his infant son alone. Burning Wild , by Christine Feehan I challenge alla y'all to find a more awesome* first sentence on a back cover blurb. * And if you're thinking "'More awesome?' Betty, that...

I first met Tina at the Murder One Book Club and was drawn to her quiet ways - sharp mind, dry wit, wicked sense of humour. Then the inimitable Kaz Mahoney revealed that Tina, like me, is an aspiring writer. Then we discovered that not only do we share the love of reading and writing, but that we lived quite close to one another too. Serendipity. But then Tina decided to leave me. And the UK. And reloate...
