1. See your inauguration photos here! Cousins! Big crowds! Mousepads! Stuff! It's a very cool entry. Like a slideshow sorta. Static though.

2. Seriously, I do not have any problem with religion. Just YOUR religion. No, no, you very silly person. That was a joke.

I even like visits from the Seventh Day Adventist who stops by my house every few months and gives me my latest copy of Watchtower. We talk about how big her kids have gotten. I'm touched she wants to save me from hell fires.

    Kate - you continually crack me up -- "I don't have any problem with religion. Just YOUR religion" lololol

    I thought Jehovah Witnesses did the Watchtower thing...

    Also, did you happen read about the apparently angry and off her rocker Mary Kay lady who left a little sumthin sumthin on a porch of a house when the person wouldn't answer the door? This is why I hide and mute the tv when any unexpected doorknocking happens at my house!

    I was just reading Lauren Dane's blog and I realized that she is the one who had the post about the crazed Mary Kay lady -- it was one of her video posts, titled "Issues With Rage," subtitled, "oh man, some people really need to not sell things door to door." I'm laughing all over again just remembering it.

    And hey, happy birthday to the boy---the teen years are just around the corner...

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.
