Today, Maya Rodale asks me the same six questions she always asks - which, I have to say, is a smart way to generate an interview. Read my answers - and if that tempts you for more bizarre hilarity, then come meet Maya, Leanna Renee Heiber, Ron Hogan and Alisa Kwitney at Lady Jane’s Salon on Monday 6 April from 7:00 pm until 9:00 pm. If you’re not coming to meet us, then come for the atmosphere. Madame X (94 Houston Street btw LaGuardia and Thompson) is an unbelievably cool setting for romance reading. I might have to try to…

Over in the Press section of the portion of our site that’s devoted to The Bitch Book, where we highlight quotes from readers and feature (and respond to) reviews of Beyond Heaving Bosoms, we have a another review! Woot! Katie Dickson won an ARC in our giveaway and reviewed the book earlier this week. My favorite quote: any authoress team that can write about trends in literary genres alongside a pretend erotic paranormal entitled The Licking Fucking Sucking Dripping Drumming Darkness is going to be a permanent fixture on the romance scene, and they deserve a big thumbs-up. Or cocks-up.…

Voting from the Bitchery will begin on Monday and continue through Tuesday, and the winner will be announced on Saturday 14 February. The winning video will be used all up and down the joint, and mugs will be geeked.
So without further ado, here’s the final five.

455 comments? WHOA! Thank you to all who stopped by and left a squee or two - and yes, shewhohashope, I do not get what is up with the country of origin for the sheikhs in the sheikh millieu.
Of course, Candy and I both are mystified by the fact that there are all these sheikhs who aren’t, you know, Muslim. WTF?
All sheikhing aside, I’m floored by the enthusiasm. Thank you. Srsly. Wow.
So without further ado, or any ado at all, I present: the random integers:
That translates to:

It’s January 5th, the shopping is done, the gifts are put away, and maybe you’re wearing that sweater someone gave you for the holidays. We’re all back at work, it’s probably cold, unless you’re in the southern hemisphere, and it’s a bit of a bummer. Not anymore! Want to win an ARC copy of The Smart Bitch Book, also known as Beyond Heaving Bosoms: The Smart Bitches’ Guide to Romance Novels? Sure, why not! I’ve got 10 ARCs sitting in my room with me (I gaze upon them more frequently than is necessary, and I admit it) and I’d like…

YouTube allows me to add the same video more than once to a playlist. That is LAME. But I’ve gone through and added as many as I could find to our playlist at our YouTube channel. If you don’t see yours on our playlist, email me please. Thank you to all the entrants. Srsly. I’m blown away by the creativity and the effort and time you put into the competition. Thank you from the craggy bottoms of our bitchy hearts. I’m going to be featuring a few Videomos each Friday as a bonus to Friday Videos. You can vote for…

From of the awesome folks at Ninth Moon, I have 3 sets of B.I.C.H.O.K. magnets for today’s prize. If you’re not familiar, that stands for “Butt In Chair, Hands on Keyboard.” This was my mantra earlier this year while writing The Book, and I love these magnets. They crack me up. So, want a set? Leave a comment and tell us what task you are most proud of accomplishing this year. Mine is no secret: writing the Bitch Book, when I’d never written a book before and didn’t honestly know if I could, is something I’m ineffably proud of, and…

I posted this last night on our Twitter feed, so if this is a repeat, forgive me. But here’s what’s making Candy and me very very happy Bitches this weekend:

In The SB Book, we take a look at the fact that romance cover models are the opposite of the rest of the modeling world: we know many of the men’s names, but the women? Not really.
Until now! Thanks to some courtroom drama ker-brou-ha-fuffle, we now know Cindy Guyer’s name. And we also know not to fuck with her, lest we want our hair pulled. Ow.
[thanks to many, many Bitchery members for the link.]

I’m thankful for many things, especially for you. For you who send me links to Large Water Butts and disgusting cookbooks and weird Friday Videos and all the man titty I could ever wish for, and for you who come and read every day, perhaps never commenting but always stopping by. Back when Candy and I started our site, we had four readers: her, me, Hubby, and her friend in Singapore. We never expected that we’d have this incredible growing readership, or the community of stabbingly sharp, smart women who adore romances as much as we do, who argue respectfully…

Enough teasing. We’re ridiculously amused by our cover, and it’s about time we showed it to you, so, you ready?
It’s a work of art, a book cover… well, really it’s visual game we call Find the Hidden Phalli with your hosts, Sarah, Candy, and Touchstone/Fireside.
The cover of the Smart Bitch Book, Beyond Heaving Bosoms: The Smart Bitches’ Guide to Romance, due out 14 April 2009, isn’t at Amazon yet (sorry folks) so this (and our email inbox) is the only place you can find it, and a few other hidden images.
