The author delights me on page 9 with the line, “Damn, the man oozed something fierce,” but probably not in the intended manner.

FUCKING HILAROUS!

Don’t you get tired of reading shitty books that deserve a D rating?

Kimber, I NEVER get tired of reading romance, good, bad or totally unreadable. When I read something fantastic, I want to make sure that all fans of romancelandia know about it. On the flip side, when I read something terrible, I want to do the same. I believe that readers are entitled to make up their own minds and may want to read something that I find awful for the simple tittilation factor. And if someone disagrees with my opinion? GREAT! Speak your mind! That’s what this blog is here for: people who GIVE A SHIT about what they read and have strong opinions about what they read as well. Annie said:

I guess I’m in it for the pearls. You just never know when somebody will wow you.

And I can’t agree with her more. In addition, when Bam asks me to guest review, I do it because I know she’s overloaded with class, writing, and generally screwing around while I’m overloaded with kids, work and general insanity. But I woudn’t do it if I didn’t love it. And because of Bam, Annie and others out there, I am constantly discovering new writers that are worthwhile reads.

You need to make Bam show you her stash.

I can’t speak for Bam, but I’ll give anything a shot. And sometimes I’m excited to find a new e-author that maybe I wouldn’t have discovered on my own, like Bonnie Dee, Diana Bold, Sara Dennis, just to name a few. I expect great things from these ladies and I’ll be saying, “I told you so.” So I guess I’m in it for the pearls. You just never know when somebody will wow you.

Don’t you get tired of reading shitty books that deserve a D rating? Actually, it’s a question for all who love romance. I love romance, but there is so much unmitigated crap out there — bad writing, paper-thin characters, tired scenarios, gratuitous sex, plot holes you could drive a Hummer through, typos. Well I could go on, but you know what I’m talking about.

Don’t you feel like you’re wasting your time reading this stuff, or do you get a kick out of it just the same?

Hehe, thanks Barb.

Conflict, conflict, conflict.

When I was first starting out, I didn’t really understand the idea of it myself. Maybe ten years ago, I wrote this novel and subbed it around and the editors told me, “You write well, but this story has no conflict.” I was like, “Huh?” I really didn’t understand what she meant. I get it now.

I used the Big Mis in my first romance. If I ever re-release it I will need to revise it extensively to make it conform to my current standards.

Oh Burl baby harder! Oh make me your sweet piggy!

Squeeeeeeeeeeeal Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeal!
