Those lying male sluts. I get even with them and have the Demon Lord’s baby!

I am so very sad that I didn’t come up with number 9 myself. That could have been my breakthrough idea to take me from reader to romance author! Camel shifters, how thou devastate me!

Also, this is just wrong…

Dear Jessica,
I an a human female in a manage relationship with with vampire and werewolf, but deeply attracted to our cyborg neighbor, Blade, who mows the grass with no clothes on. I know he’s a man machine, but I think I can teach to love and put down the toilet seat. Is there a chance for us as a foursome? Can Vlad accept his attraction to Blade? Will Rolf run away in wolf form with the collie from work? Any advice would be appreciated.

Everyone knows Blade and Vlad are secretly having an affair and Rolf is jealous over it. And the collie from work is really Rolf’s long lost child from a previous relationship, so Progressive is wrong to be worried he’ll run away with her.

Awesome! I am especially thrilled to see the back of no. 9, even if only in fantasy. And am also dying to read the story of the face transplant geek. Brings to mind Jonathon Coulton’s “The Future Soon,” my husband’s favorite song:

“I won’t always be this way/when the things that make me weak and strange get engineered away.”

Hee.
By any chance are you a Jasper Fforde fan? Because one of the bits that made me laugh most in ‘The Big Over Easy’ was an epigraph written in newspaper article style about a retirement banquet held for the Murder in a Locked Room mystery motif, which had to be cancelled, due to the murder of the guest of honor – in a locked room.

I love when you make posts like this. I laughed. Hard. Especially at 2 on your new ideas, mostly because I can forsee actual for serious blog posts about that very issue.

So, how would you feel about a mongoose-shifter heroine? And considering what the rest of her family turned into she was actually kind of lucky.

Jill, I know. I have read Crash Into Me, remember? And I convict you on counts 1, 3, 4, and 5 for that book alone! But it can be done badly, or well, as you know. I was reading the excerpt of CIM in the checkout line yesterday in Glamour(?).

Nice pic!
