Imagine Sookie without Bon Temps and Fangtasia. Mercy without wolfpack politics, fae intrigue or vampire vicissitudes in the Pacific Northwest. Rachel Morgan without Cincinnati or the Ever-After or the Hollows. Hard, yes? Now, imagine Mercy without Adam. Sookie without Bill, Eric, Alcide, Eric, Quinn, Eric, and Sam. Or Rachel without Nick (the slimeball), Kisten, … Continue reading
Yes, I must stand up and admit it. I am the last person in the known universe to have not read the Kate Daniels series, that paragon of paranormal by the husband-wife team of Gordon and Ilona Andrews. My blog readers are all mad about Curran, but I’m behind with all my favorite series. How … Continue reading
Happy Monday…or is that an oxymoron? I’m over at My Book Addiction today, taking part in a talk about serial novels (with a giveaway, so check it out), so I thought I’d bring that discussion here as well. Just to bring you up to date, a serial novel is a full-length novel released in “episodes,” … Continue reading
There’s a lot of brouhaha going on over in the land of Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America these days about the sci fi/fantasy world old-boys’ network, or the perception of it, and whether said organization buys into it or not.

The presumption is that we’re reading somewhere along the paranormal spectrum. Don’t get me wrong; I read a LOT. But when I’m actively writing, and … Continue reading

AJ & Suzanne talk Southern paranormal with RT Book Reviews Unbounders Suzanne Johnson and AJ Larrieu (plus fantastic UF author Faith Hunter) chatted with Romantic Times Book Reviews about what it means to write stories set in the South. Check it out! Continue reading
Release day is a funny thing for most authors–we’re fairly quiet, introverted people who suddenly feel the need to run all over the cyber-universe waving our hands and screaming “buy my new book!” So I did a lot of running around and screaming yesterday as ELYSIAN FIELDS made its debut, a bouncing 340-page baby filled … Continue reading

Should certain subjects be sacrosanct or relegated only to “serious” (i.e., literary) fiction or to historians?
