Happy Birthday Aimless Amelia Elias
Lady Amelia Elias.

see comments for explanation.




Left: sealand, next year's hot tourist spot. Above: its seal, which will henceforth be embroidered onto all of Lady Amelia's undergarments. Even the teeny thongs.

    I just wish I was photoshop smart enough to put a little picture of you waving to your subjects from the roof of your . . . estates? lands? fiefdom? domain?

    Wait a sec.
    Are you really Lady Amelia? as in Lady First Name?
    Or are you Lady Last Name?

    We need some title experts in here, pronto. I wish Stephen were around.

    Tsk, you Yanks. It's perfectly clear. Just take the title, add the two, carry the one, and hey presto, it's a peerage.

    Didn't Kathryn Falk become Lady Barrow when she more or less purchased her estate? If that's the case, wouldn't the Aimless One be Lady Pylon? OR Lady Sealand?

    regardless...hope the day has been a good one for our royal PITA *grin*

    mwwah

    I think a lifetime peerage makes you Lady {surname}, like Baroness Thatcher--she's not Lady Margaret. You have to be born to the title of Lady {first name}.

    But then, Amelia's a peer of the realm of an oil rig, so I guess she can style herself how the hell she likes.

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.
