Copying from Monica's blog--but I'm so loving the covers

Lee Goldberg's cover: "you lookin' at me, asswipe?" The people who designed that had a good time. It's so ... so ... yeah.

At the link above you'll find some great quotes about the actual book. Including this one:

"Goldberg made me smell his armpits when I was kid, never took me to the arcade when he said he would and once, just once, refused to let me borrow his Knack album when I really, realy wanted to. Fuck that guy. It's a rollicking good time!" --Tod Goldberg




And then there's Monica's cover. Yes, the model knows she's gorgeous, but I'm betting she's not entirely vain 24/7.

Do the covers actually reflect the stories inside? Uh. I don't know yet. I do know I'd pick up these books to at least flip through them.



On the train I'd hold them waaay up so my fellow passengers could get a bit of glamour in their humdrum lives.

    Awwwww.
    Being fat has some compensations and I'll let you know what they are as soon as I figure them out. How about this one: if a sudden famine struck, we'll last longer than Kate Moss.

    Yup, they're hot.

    By the way, Kate, your eBay link got clipped in the comments, but it's fine in the message that was emailed me. So, yeah, I had me a look at all that duct tape badness. What was the guy thinking? Was he afraid of a Sarin attack or something?

more fun and hi-jinks at RWA.

To the Board of Directors of the Romance Writers of America: It has been brought to our attention, by several of our romance authors, that your organization no longer considers Medallion Press, Inc. a legitimate publisher according to your guidelines. We were surprised we did not receive official notification directly, but instead discovered it was posted on several RWA internet loops. Accordingly, we request this letter be published in its entirety in the RWR Report so all members may understand the nature of the process that eliminated Medallion as an RWA approved publisher. We will also send copies of this letter to all our own RWA member authors. We are dismayed you declared Medallion Press no longer a legitimate publisher. In July of 2004 we met all of your qualifications without incident by showing sales of 5000+ copies of USA Today Bestselling author Nan Ryan's The Last Dance. Several months prior to Book Expo America 2005, we received a call from your office alerting us to ...

No snark. Bad puppy. No. (Review stuff.)

A two star Amazon review on His American Detective: "Bodice ripper about gay men by a woman." and I'm longing to comment "don't you mean a waistcoat ripper?" God, no. Stop me. The reviews rarely rattle me any longer -- except when I spot a truth in a bad one. When that happens, I actually lose sleep. This means I still care about writing.  Speaking of reviewers and writers: A couple of days ago, a writer said she was tired of getting white ladies writing reviews of her books. She had an excellent point in the long run: her stories are meant for a particular audience and she wants them to resonate with those people and get more reviews from them.  But that first line was just....horribly obnoxious. I say this from my POV of course. Not a white lady who writes reviews -- but as a review grubber.   Anyone who disses any reader (especially ones that give honest reviews) deserves to be cast into the pit of being ignored.   ...
