TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT is now officially out. And it’s my birthday so you should feel obligated to buy it and to pre-order HOT AS HELL. Seems like a good present to me.

Got this in the mail:

It’s like a textbook for the Brotherhood series. Not sure where to start reading it. Do I skip to the never-before-seen short story? Look up things I want to know? Not sure.

I read reference books but rarely read writing “how to” books. The this is how you must write stuff paralyzes me. The reference books I read deal more with specific subject matters. For example, if I were writing about a trainwreck I’d read a true account of a trainwreck and books about [...]

For the twittering among you…
I’ve been playing around on Twitter. Still don’t quite know what it is, but it gives me a chance to throw out random thoughts about things I wouldn’t talk about here. Basically, I’m more snide and talk (twitter) about whatever is in my head, which right now is often [...]

Sasha mentioned re-reading Karen Robards’ ONE SUMMER. This is one of my all-time favorite romances. Hero Johnny Harris is a felon out on parole and, well, let’s just say this book totally worked for me. Thought I’d go ahead and highlight it here in case anyone missed it.
He was pure, unadulterated [...]

The book JOY OF SEX is being rewritten. I’m guessing this means sex has changed since the 70s…? Kind of seems like a strange idea, but okay.
There’s an article in the Sydney Morning Herald about this. Here’s my favorite line from the interview:
Quilliam noted that some tips from the original had to [...]

The September 19th issue of Entertainment Weekly (Hugh Laurie on the cover) introduced an interesting new and (I think) semi-regular recommendation section by Karen Valby within book review section. Sees she’s going to talk about “froth” novels. She describes it this way:
