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.

My fanciest footwear is a pair of beat-up, second-hand timberland boots.
OBVIOUSLY
I need to work on the bad-ass issue, pronto. Where'd you get that hat and that attitude, anyway?
I nicked 'em from Caridad Ferrer.
ReplyDeleteSeriously.
I believe you and I wonder if she has any spare Glamor and 'tude left.
ReplyDeletesigh.
The Glamor I'ma not so sure about, although I'll bet there's a pimp hat or two wandering about. The 'tude I've been told I have in abundance. Over, even. *g*
ReplyDeleteFeel free to filch at will.
