Guess the Plot

One Fang and Silver Dagger

1. Harvey Jones has seen it all: fights, murders, sex, love gone bad. But that's pretty much what you get when you run a bar that caters to vampires and werewolves. Also, a silver dagger.

2. Can't a girl catch a break? It was bad enough getting murdered and waking up as a vampire. But now someone's ripped out one of Hannah's fangs and transported her back in time to medieval days where a hunky knight in shining armor is all that stands between her and ...

New Beginning 757

As the woman tumbled from the heavens a riot of colours and questions chased her. Was that the rainbow spectrum of the balloon? Where was the parachute rip cord? Would life flash before her eyes?

Around 700 feet, she resigned herself to the terror of a recurring drowning nightmare she'd had as a child. Her chest tightened and the panic rose like vomit in her throat. Wake up! Wake up! Her brain screamed, but no sound came out.

600 feet…

Seconds from impact a feeling of calm spread through her. Aw...

Change in Book Chat Schedule

The slot auctioned off in the Brenda Novak auction was won by Jenna Petersen. We'll be discussing her romantic comedy Married with Zombies. No idea if she knew we were zombie experts when she placed her bid.

The book's release date is September 1, so instead of the August slot, she'll get the September slot and Kockroach, by Tyler Knox, moves up to August. There's a link to the complete schedule in the sidebar.

Those outside the US, I have no idea whether Married with Zombies will be available ...

Elitist Morals

1. Adultery? So last year. Drugs? Are you kidding? Illegitimate kids? Been there, done that. Starvation diet to stay thin? Don't make me laugh. Vote Republican? What--are you some kind of immoral beast or something?

2. In a world where a pantheon of gods kidnap soon-to-be-followers from the streets, Markus Mark attempts to prove he is the holiest of the holy by obeying every law ordained by every god known to man, elf, sylph, or otherling.

3. Very impressive and inte...

Therapy Session 4

Hi Doc. I'm back.

Already? Listen EE, you've been coming here more than two years. I believe it's time to seek help elsewhere.

You want me to start seeing someone else?

No, idiot, I want me to start seeing someone else. I haven't had a decent night's sleep in a year. Our last hour was so disturbing I've had nightmares, nervous breakdowns . . . I even tried to commit suicide by sitting through a Brady Bunch marathon on TV Land.

I see. How did that make you feel?

Like I was that sour vomit-like flui...

Therapy Session 3

EE slid with a sigh onto the worn leather couch. "Hello again, Dr. Rosenberg."

She looked up from her notebook. "Ah, the editor. It's that time of year again?"

"Yes, yes it is." He shifted around, making himself comfortable. "Where should we start?"

"Hmm." Dr. Rosenberg consulted her notes. "We've already talked about your parents and childhood—though I should ask, is there anything new about that since last year?"

"Well, my mom ran away with a group of Hell's Angels last October and just recentl...
