This week's Dishy Guy is Wade. Yes, it's a case of "Katie's in another mood for scruffy guys."
You know how weak I am in the face of manly stubble. And Wade has the added bonus of real, live chest hair!
That's rather rare in the world of waxing! So he gets bonus points for that. And for this…
Guys who wear black, stand next to helicopters, and look dangerous always chime my bells.
Besides, he has nice eyes.
For those of you who have been eagerly awaiting Holy Smokes' audio release, it is now availabl

This week's field trip will probably tickle bibliophiles like me.
No, it's not a site about pantyhose crafts…it's one celebrating some of the truly awful library books there are to be found in one's local library.
I'm a big fan of libraries–a weekly trip to the library was one of my fondest childhood memories, but honestly, there are a lot of books out there that you really have to wonder about. And the Awful Library Books blog picks out a few of them to share with everyone!
I think my favorite ent

The boy dog wishes to thank everyone who sent him warm fuzzy get well wishes.
So, I slacked off yesterday and forgot to do a GNT post. I'd feel worse about that, but hey! A day of slacking off! It was awesome! Now, however, I'm back at the grind with my freshly made To-Do list, and a determination to actually get some things done today.

Something is seriously wrong with me. I went Dishy Guy Monday browsing, and was left cold after an hour of searching. The guys just looked too young, too scary intense, or just plain too meh.
Matt is the best of what I found.
I'm not sure about that expression above, though. He looks kinda wary to me.
Then again, this one is kind of dubious, too.
At least he's not quite so wary looking.
And then we have the shades pic.
I can't tell if he's looking manfully into the distance, or if he's just thinking a

After my burst of cleaning and organizing this morning, I finally have my keyboard cleared so I can type again (yay!).
Today's field trip is for those of you who like odd, old books.
The fine folks over at Project Gutenberg have made available BARKHAM BURROUGHS' ENCYCLOPAEDIA OF ASTOUNDING FACTS AND USEFUL INFORMATION (1889)
Where else will you find such interesting topics as How Poor Boys Become Successful Men, How to be Handsome, Detecting Counterfeit Money, and the Masterpieces of Eloquence?

What's Katie up to today, you ask?
Oh, come on, someone ask it. Thank you. Well, I'll tell you…no, wait, I'll show you:
That, dear hearts, is a butt-ton of paperwork that I spent the morning filing into the appropriate folders, everything from royalty statements to contracts, bestseller lists, and subsidiary rights info. This was mid-way through the process, when my entire computer desk was covered with stacks of papers waiting to be tucked away.
My editor Laura e-mailed me to ask when I could deli
