Aww


I just got a nice note about Somebody Wonderful. The writer said it was one of the best books she's read this year (she added that she meant from July to July, not the year 2008 so far.) Thanks, J.E.

The note made my day and reminded me I should keep writing drooly fan-girl letters to other rioters.

Maybe Bettie Sharpe would git off her butt and write another book if I did.

    *g* How can I write when I'm busy reading Elaine Corvidae's Exiles Burn? I blame you, Rothwell!

    I have to admit writing drooling fan letters to my favorite authors. LOL. OK, deepest dark secret is out.
    BTW - Terry Pratchett never did write back...

    Yeah, and it's a long book, Bettie. I was exhausted by the end of the last hair-raising adventure.

    Sam, that's a deep dark secret? Dude, you need to make up something better if you want to look even remotely wicked. I suggest something to do with bar-fights.

    Pratchett never wrote back to me, either.

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 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.

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.   ...
