I shouldn't be allowed near needles, machines, and piping hot irons, but I'm cheap as hell and not willing to pay $69 for the jacket I really want. That's one reason I love steampunk so much-- modding existing items is considered a point of pride.

“I would burn down the world for you," he whispered fiercely. "Your world or my own. I would rip down the entire city with my bare hands without a second thought. I don't need to taste anything else, I don't need a comparison.”
Delilah S. Dawson, Wicked As They Come

“Time to beat back the bunny hordes," he said gallantly,knowing that any blood-hungry animals in the area would be waiting outside for me.
He threw open the door, shouting, "Bunnies, prepare to meet your doom!”

“Dammit, woman! You're scent, your stupid bloody delicious scent lingering in every crevice of my body and my wardrobe, driving me nearly mad. Do you know what it's like to want something so badly, to have it so close, and still feel that it's out of your reach? Out of control?”

VampireNovelFan Thanks for friending, Delilah! And thanks for dropping by my blog the other day. I was totally not expecting that so it was a huge pleasant surprise! I can't wait until the giveaway is over so that I can talk about it with even more friends. You're doing a stellar job!

Oh and FYI, when you reply to comments made here on your profile, the other user won't receive an alert that you've posted. You have to post over on their profile comments for them to know. It's a weird Goodreads quirk that they have yet to fix.

They asked how they knew I was Delilah, and I told them I was wearing Delilah's underpants. I guess that was good enough. =)


Stephanie Look at you with your author goodreads page! Yay! :)

I'm kind of a late adopter, as you can tell by my camera-less flip phone with collies as one of 4 available wallpapers. =) But if you're here, it must be cool.
