Yeah, so if you didn’t know, now you know (and you SHOULD know that it’ll be R-rated-ish): http://www.ilona-andrews.com/snippet-writing/magic-strikes-hot-tub-pov Nice short. I always appreciate reading Curran’s side of things. Above all, I really appreciate that the Andrews team doesn’t allow their series to be brought down by gratuitous sex scenes. The plot really does remain at the forefront. ————————————————– And yeah, if anybody will be around in an hour, I hope…

Barely Human – A solid debut effort from Trace Riles
To my knowledge, Barely Human is the first Urban Fantasy novel by Trace Riles. We’re introduced to Jessie, a police detective with a strange ability to teleport or “flicker” practically anywhere at any time. She can’t control this ability and it’s getting worse day by day, making it impossible to keep it a secret any longer. While it also seemingly affects her murder investigation for a high school student, it…
Guess who’s going to San Diego Comic Con yet again?! It’s me! W00T
This means tons of coverage on TV series, movies, games, and AUTHORS. I met Kim Harrison and Patricia Briggs last year and we made the news!! That was a lot of fun. Kim won’t be there this year unfortunately, but there is so much to do there with so little time. I had an absolutely fabulous time and I’m looking for this year to be even better! While last year’s…

Soooo I tried those Hollows waffles! Yup, I added the mayo!
To round out Hollows week, this past Sunday I decided to crack open the Hollows Insider and put that waffle recipe (on page 134) to good use. If you don’t have that book yet, you should get it, but all is not lost if you still want the recipe; Kim has posted it here on her website. If you don’t remember, back in Every Which Way But Dead (Book 3)…
