Hugo Award Finalists

I’ve been an avid SF/fantasy reader since I was a tween – I first read Tolkien in sixth grade, and that hooked me.  Much as I love the mystery and romance genres, SF/fantasy has always been my homebase, the genre I return to when I want to  read something I know I’ll love.    Like romance, [...]

Broken tootsies

Yep, I hate myself.  Went to the pediatrician, got TD’s foot x-rayed, pediatrician sent us down the Katy Freeway to the orthopedist, who confirmed hairline fractures across three toes (nothing wrong with the ankle at all).  The orthopedist was surprised at how articulate she is (he wouldn’t be if he saw how much she talks; [...]

Diva to the doctor

Her foot is still swollen, and even the Daddy decided maybe it would be best to see the doctor, just to be sure.  So we’re home today and will go see Dr. Thaller this afternoon.  I took advantage of the unplanned – unwanted – day off to grab a morning nap but couldn’t sleep because [...]

Clive

Just realized Clive wasn’t on the front page anymore.  Can’t have that.

Diva Drama

Tomboy Diva sprained her ankle at martial arts last night.    I wasn’t there.  The Daddy carried her into the house, and while she’d obviously been crying, she was pretty calm.  Then he got out a big pot of water and ice and made her put her foot in it, and we went through thirty to [...]

When movies ruin music

So I’m listening to AC/DC and I can’t get Jack Black out of my head.  I actually liked School of Rock. Black can be annoying, but he can be funny as well. Only thing is, I can’t listen to It’s a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock n Roll) anymore [...]

My first sale

I got an email from Angela James, Executive Editor at Samhain Publishing, last night.  The novella I submitted for their Summer 2009 shapeshifter anthology – the one my sister loved – was one of the three she accepted.
I’m going to be published — it’ll be a stand alone e-book over the summer and then part [...]

When romance goes bad

The Hub and I do too much married kissing, but I’ve never been this angry about it.
It’s probably the most heartbreaking  test of a marriage: one spouse wants children, the other doesn’t.  But this is not the way to handle it.
This woman seems to have the sense of humor required to stay married.  My favorite [...]

Um, okay…I bought it

Romance vs. Erotic Romance

There’s a good discussion going on over at Christa’s place about the differences between hot/spicy/explicit-but-nevertheless-traditional romance and erotic romance, started by a topic over at Romance Divas.   Is erotic romance just porn for women who don’t think they read porn?  I don’t think so, but I understand why others do.  I don’t think there are [...]
