Hopefully one of your awesome readers can help 🙂 This was one of the first … Continue reading HaBO: The Heroine was Post-Mastectomy→
I really, really dislike clichés. I dislike them a LOT. And it's not just in writing that I dislike them. I hate when I'm talking to someone and suddenly a chain of corporate speak comes out of their mouth. Sometimes, I overhear people on business conference calls on the train and it's ridiculous, between the touching base, the face-to-face, the circling back, and (my favorite) the calenderize-ing. Yes. Calendarize. In romance, there isn't so much … Continue reading Cliches: I Do Not Think They Mean What Moths Think They Mean→

Comments Off on Links! They are ON the INTERNETS
There's a lot going on here there and everywhere. The winner of the Bad Sex award has been announced. The winner was David Guterson for “Ed King,” a retelling of Oedipus. The winning, ahem, passage: “In the shower, Ed stood with his hands at the back of his head, like someone just arrested, while she abused him with a bar of soap. After a while he shut his eyes, and Diane, wielding her fingernails now and … Continue reading Links! They are ON the INTERNETS→

Lizzie is looking for a Mills & Boon she read a while ago – with a really interesting setting! After unpacking a box of old Mills & Boons that had been in my mom's attic for 20 years i didn't find a book that I don't remeber as being particularly good but I remember so many key details that I'm keen to read it again. It came out as a contemporary Mills & … Continue reading HaBO: An 80s Mills & Boon in South Africa→
