violence of the lambs

Anyone wonder where I went? Me, too.
Okay never mind all that personal crap.

Look at this thing Aya sent us. If you've ever spent any time around sheep, it's bound to have an effect on you. Yes, it was a real movie. The preview was more than enough, thanks (I especially like the guy smoking a cigarette.)

I was accosted by sheep in the Lake District once. I...I don't like to talk about it. They made off with our lunch.

    That's... just. Damn. Um... do I want to know how you even came across that movie?

    My niece Aya spent a few months in New Zealand. It's changed her forever--she's the one who found the link.

    "Changed me forever"?
    A friend in NZ mentioned the movie title, so I found myself googling it.

    I tried playing the "shoot the sheep" game on the website and got mad when the sheep kept killing me. Then I got rather upset, when I finally managed to shoot the sheep.

    I thought it was a joke. I was HOPING it was a joke.
    My goodness -- killer sheep. What's the world coming too??

    I hear you on the Lake District sheep. We didn't have any run-ins with the woolly beasts, but we did have a psychologically scarring experience with a swan. Who knew those beautiful birds could get so nasty?

    We were attacked by ostriches at a wild animal park. Good thing we had a car between us and them!

    Birds are evil critters. Geese and ducks are particularly bad, although having never had a run-in with an ostrich, I do concede that they might be worse. Ducks and geese are especially bad about pinching skin and then twisting their head, giving the worst horrible twisted-pinch ever with their bills.

    Evil. Pure evil.

    Cows came after us in the Cotwolds, which makes for some fine alliteration.

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.
