well, it's one way to train the family

Thanks to Ari for the link to this auction.

The woman is scary. Do not cross her. Do NOT leave anything lying on any tables. (I'm talking about the woman running the auction--not Ari)

    Will it make you feel better if I tell you that auction has been done before? The exact same auction, almost word for word. I remember it from at least 6 months ago, maybe more, but it's been some time in the past year.

    I don't know if it's the same woman, doing the same auction again, but the wording is pretty much verbatim. Same with the "comments" she's added about adding things to her auction. Nice gimmick.

    Ooooo, what a sly dog she is! Look at the sum she's getting for the stuff.

    Who knew you could pull that stunt more than once? Soon it'll be time to bring on another cheese sandwich.

    Very. Amused.

    So basically go to your garage, pull out all the crap sprinkled on the floor of your car, throw in a broken gameboy and get an auction going for $300? Yeah, Baby!

    I wish this would work for the dishes in my kitchen. If I could rack up hundreds of dollars for dishes "left" on counters, then I could buy a new set every week or so and never have to load the dishwasher again!

    Score!!

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.
