Monday evils

Which is more deadly: a five year old farting on your lap, or a seven year old burping hot-dog burps in your face?

Ah, parenthood.

List your Monday evils!

Noxious dog farts from a doggie which managed to wolf down human food. She reeeeeeeks if she eats human food, but she loves it so.

And my children think it's a hysterical game to sit on each other and fart, so just be glad it's still innocent at this point. :)

Sore muscles (from helping some friends move), sick wife, and this comment from my eldest about our new puppy, "Dad! Amber pooped in the kitchen and she's eating it."

Going to work was kind of a relief today.

I vote dog farts too...and 15 YO boys who won't clean their room, do their homework or speak to you! Though the not speaking thing is actually not so bad :)

THE WRITE PRETENDAS

WE at the League of Reluctant Adults are pissed. Miffed. Put out. Thoroughly riled. We don't often get political, nor do we often get angry. But an angry Leaguer is an UGLY thing. Just look at Mark over there, all snarly with rage. Why are we angry, you ask? BECAUSE WE DIDN'T GET BOYCOTTED. There's this group calling itself "The Write Agenda," who claims to be a bunch of authors looking out for other authors. In reality, we're pretty sure they're a bunch of con artists who got mad at people calling them con artists. Why? Because they attack two of the best friends an author or an aspiring author can ever have: Writer Beware and Absolute Write Water Cooler . Here's John Scalzi's breakdown of what this Write Agenda is, and why they're doing what they're doing. For those not in the know, Writer Beware and Absolute Write Water Cooler are free services that collect information on agents, editors, and publishers. They report on thin...

Git Yer Freebies Rightchere!

Okay, maybe I shoulda been a tad more specific. My mass market came out today! (Happy dance!) For those of you operating in the unawares, five books in the Jaz Parks series are floating around the bookishness of the universe, but to this point they've all been trade paperbacks. The biggers. Now you can get the first book in the series, Once Bitten, Twice Shy , in the regular size (and price!) So to celebrate (which I'm always looking for excuses to do) I'm giving three copies away to random commenters. All you gotta do is tell me which monster you'd prefer to meet in a dark alley. Vampire? Werewolf? Zombie? Orc? Something I haven't named that you think you could vanquish a lot easier with your handy-dandy homemade sledge-0-matic? Lemme hear from you! The giveaway will close Friday at midnight Central Standard time. Let the virtual massacre begin!

Guest Blog and Contest with Seanan McGuire

This week we have debut urban fantasy novelist, Seanan McGuire, talking fairy tales and horror and such (and even giving away an ARC in a fun two part prize)!  Seanan's Rosemary and Rue hits the shelves in September.  Take it away Seanan! ****** Growing up perky and blonde in Northern California has its advantages, most of them having to do with getting out of doing your homework because no one actually believes you have three brain cells to knock together.   It also has its disadvantages, most notably the fact that no one believes you have three brain cells to knock together.   This makes it harder to get access to the important things in life: books that aren't about Dick and Jane, horror movies, and fairy tales by anyone but Disney.   If your goals involve these treasures, you'll have to learn guile, cunning, and the ability to look like you didn’t realize what part of the library you had warned into. Growing up perky, blonde, and geeky in Northern California means yo...
