Google Book Settlement

Some articles worth reading.  However, if you're going to opt out, time's running out.

Reject the Google Book Settlement

I've already opted out.  Frankly, the way Google has handled this disgusts me.  The way the Author's Guild stepped in to speak on behalf of authors, without my permission BTW, leaves me with a very bad taste in my mouth.

The whole damn thing should have been on an OPT-IN platform, and hell, for that matter, it never should have happened, because google shouldn't ha

If you haven't read these books…

You need to.

I just started them after I got back from Nationals.  I've read them all.  And I want more.

Regarding the Louisville Library

I have had a few people contact me about the bookdrive for the Lousville Library.  Please note, I did speak with library personnel and was told any books collected through the bookdrive would be very much appreciated, and very much needed.

At this time, the library has no way to process new books, and I imagine storage is a concern, as the largest branch-the main branch- is going to need serious work done before they can use some of the library.  However, I'm local and I can store books until the

Labels

Are labels good?  Bad?

Well, IMO, they are kind of necessary.

I've got a food allergy.  I read ingredients on food labels to make sure I don't end up eating something I shouldn't.

I don't like messing with dry cleaning, so I check clothing tags to make sure it's not labeled as DRY CLEAN ONLY.

I don't really care for straight erotica, so if I see something tagged as straight erotica, I'm not very likely to read it.  Nothing against straight erotica, it just doesn't work for me, so

Affectations

Affectations impress me about as much as reality TV does.  And reality TV stopped impressing me less than halfway through the third season of Survivor.

I don't like fakes. Sometimes, I run into a lot of them in this biz.  People who think 'reinventing' themselves is the key to success, happiness, the Holy Grail…etc. Etc.  ETC. People who think that playing a part is the way to impress people.

Sometimes reinventing yourself can seem to have rewards.  Maybe playing

I got in the final edits for Hunter's Need and it dawned on me.  I haven't shared much from that book, have I?  Must rectify…

Hunter's Need

"You're getting your ass on a plane, that's what you're doing.  That's the only thing you're doing, so deal with it," Kelsey said, storming into her office.  She jerked the band from her ponytail as she settled behind her desk.  When she looked back at him, the irritation she felt was written all over her face, glinting in her eyes.

Cue Sobbing

Sl Viehl's newest STARDOC book has hit the shelves… Crystal Healer.

Sob…

Crystal Healer

Why am I sobbing?  Well, Duncan and Cherijo are my fave book characters.  I adore them.  And after Crystal Healer, there's only one more STARDOC book left.

Thus the sobbing.

If you haven't read the STARDOC books, you really should. Start with book one, STARDOC.  Then you can cry with me after the final book comes out.
