crappity! Crap! I can't find the rug Fatima made that I borrowed to take pictures of to put on the website. . . . Did one of you steal it? Well? I promise, I won't be mad if you confess now. Guh!
If I did steal it, and I'm not saying that I did, although it sounds as if it's something I might have done, I'm afraid you will be unable to find it in the the disaster that is my living room.
I can check with my assistant to see if anyone has recently hacked into my computer. There may have been a document on there which details my plan to travel across the country, break into your house, and steal only one rug. It sounds like the sort of thing I might have written, and someone may have used that idea and cobbled together a plan.
If I find such a rug after I have lifted about three weeks worth of dog hair from my carpet, I will be the first to say that I might have done it and that I may be returning the rug.
But first you have to commit to only putting positive thoughts out into the atmosphere and supporting the sisterhood of, um, the sisterhood of cleaning-challenged Stay-at-Home Moms. MmmmKay?
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. ...
I've cut out bits here and there but the gist is there. I don't want to cut too much because she's a good writer (other than the actual thinking/tolerance part) and it's bad idea to ignore that fact. . . . romance isn't about just any "two people" celebrating "love in its many forms." Organizations such as the Man-Boy Love Association would certainly refer to themselves as celebrating love "two people" (or more) finding love in one of its many forms" . . . while they actively promote pedophilia. Think RWA can't go down that slipper slope? Think again. Under our present definition, we cannot exclude such "love stories" under the category of "romance". We, as a culture, seem to have forgotten how to say "enough is enough," but RWA can--indeed, must--do better than that. . . . And, please, spare us the arguments about "censorship" and "inclusiveness." Preference for "one man,...

wow you are clever. And sneaky, too, the way you put it in my car trunk like that.

I'm afraid it was my assistant who put it in your trunk. I'm still not sure I had anything to do with it.
