Wow, I haven’t posted here in a long time O_O
Anyway, I found this link on Twitter this morning via one of Neil Gaiman’s tweets and had to share. Click here to read the article.
It’s not great because of yet another person (people, in this case) accusing J.K. Rowling of stealing ideas, which in and of itself is kind of ridiculous, as is pointed out in the article. It’s great because of the excerpts from the poor guy’s book. Check this out:
In Willy’s laboratory, Wizard Cricket demonstrated how a mixture’ of grounded nicket paste and paleberry juice applied gently on the eyebrows of an Aussie guinea pig would bring a marked change of appearance. Willy suffered the mixture and clumsily knocked the contents of the texture into the berry juice paste and ! The guinea pig became a winking wongo – a wonderful little chap, a cousin to the Dutch Tree Squirrels.
OMG! It reads like a Monty Python sketch, y’all! Seriously, can’t you just hear Eric Idle’s voice there? LOLOL!
Anyway, I just had to share that. TOO funny. Since this poor writer died a long time ago, I like to think that he — being an author himself, albeit not as skilled as J.K. — would have better sense than his relatives and not try to follow those dollar signs. I kind of hate that his family is trying to use him for their own profit like this.

So I’m filling out one of those insanely fun, time-sucking Facebook note thingies (on my personal page; I don’t have an author page, this one’s just for me to communicate with family and friends). One of the questions asks about favorite smells. So I’m listing some of my favorite smells, and I realize I can’t list my very top favorite smell — sweaty cock.
Sigh. Is difficult, keeping it clean for the kidlets who might wander by.

An Inner Darkness
An Inner Darkness, the fifth (and final?) book in my Bay City Paranormal Investigations series, is now available from Samhain Publishing!
All hell’s about to break loose. Literally.
After more than a year as a couple—and plenty of bumps along the road—Sam Raintree and Dr. Bo Broussard are finally settling into life together. Bo has come to terms with his sexuality, their business is thriving, and Sam has begun to accept his role as a step-parent of sorts to Bo’s sons, Sean and Adrian. The only real dark spot is Bo’s ex-wife, Janine.
When eleven-year-old Adrian begins exhibiting signs of psychokinesis—the same ability which allows Sam to manipulate interdimensional portals—the friction between Sam, Bo and Janine escalates. Sam and Bo have reason to believe Adrian’s raw, uncontrolled talent poses a danger to him and those around him. Janine, however, believes Sam and Bo are encouraging dangerous delusions on Adrian’s part. Common ground is nonexistent, anger and hard words ever-present.
Caught in the middle of the conflict and burdened with an ability he can’t yet control, Adrian is soon pushed beyond his limits. With Adrian’s mind—and the lives of everyone around him—hanging in the balance, Sam and Bo race against time to save both boys and keep an otherworldly horror from breaking free.
(Warning: This book contains graphic language, explicit male/male sex, family drama and scary monsters.)
Read an explicit excerpt on my website.

Er, well, kind of. I politely (and with minimal fangirling, I swear!) requested MySpace friendship from Ghost Hunters stars Steve, Tango, Jason, and Grant, as well as Grant’s piano (he’s very, very good, just listen). I wanted to ask Kris Williams too, but her profile was set to private so I didn’t ask as I figured that meant she didn’t want a bunch of rabid fans stalking her all over MySpace. All the guys but Jason have so far accepted, and I forgive Jason for his tardiness because he has the most kids and is therefore super-duper busy *g*
So, I am having a major squee today. Heh.
Ally = massive dork :B

Pardon the Marvin moment, but yeah. Feeling kind of down today. Don’t know why, though my instinct is to blame the EDJ. Stupid EDJ, taking my time away from important things like reading, writing and running.
**kicks EDJ in the balls**
So I’ve been listening to Bright Eyes “Lover I Don’t Have To Love” like non-stop today. It seems to fit for some reason. I don’t know why. Something about the bell sounds and the minor key, and the generally gray-veiled feel of it. The song just captures my mood at the moment. Congrats, Conor Oberst, you finally made me pay attention to you, you doe-eyed bastard.
