Hey, Reluctant New Yorkers

Anyone in or around the NYC area -- Anton, Caitlin and I will be at New York Comic Con this weekend, starting this afternoon!

Friday 2/6
5:45 PM
Panel: New York City Through its Authors (Jackie and Anton)
New York City may be the world's most-written-about city. While sometimes romantic, sometimes mythic, and sometimes wicked, it's always New York. New York Comic Con invites several of the city's local authors to speak about how living in New York has influenced their words -- whether they're writing about NYC or not. Moderated by Suvudu.com.

Panel: Vampire, Werewolf, and Zombie Round Table (Caitlin)

our spine. Explore what makes us love to be afraid in this chilling, thrilling panel!

I know people who are already lining up at 6:45 am on Sunday to get a ticket for either the Joss autographing or Dollhouse premiere.

I may be in bed then...nay, I WILL be in bed!!

You may also find me at the Penguin booth #1804. I'll be doing a interview with BookSpot Central on Saturday, so that should be sufficiently embarrassing.

Um. Really? 6:45 am?

Um. Huh.

**debates which is more important: my continued health, or getting to meet Joss Whedon**

Sounds like great fun. Wish I could be there.

You all need to come up north of the border and visit us here (but not till spring. Winter is a cruel mistress)

Hey, Jackie? Think you can stuff Tahmoh into your suitcase and smuggle him back for me? Pretty please?

Wish I could be there but just to far to drive in a few hours. But I wish you all the best and hope you have a great time.

Wow - Dichen Lachman has gone from Aussie soap Neighbours to Dollhouse! That's quite a jump.

Just goes to show that there's always an Australian where you least expect them ;-)

Have a lovely day! :-)

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

Excerpt time!

Since I missed my regular posting day--argh!--I'm popping in to steal Kari's day. Well, okay, Kari has a power outage so I'm taking her day, but believe me, I would totally steal it otherwise. And, because I'm just in that kind of mood, I'm going to post an excerpt from the fourth Downside book, SACRIFICIAL MAGIC, which will be released on March 27, 2012. (And wait till you guys see the cover!) The blurb: READING, WRITING, AND RAISING THE DEAD When Chess Putnam is ordered by an infamous crime boss—who also happens to be her drug dealer—to use her powers as a witch to solve a grisly murder involving dark magic, she knows she must rise to the challenge. Adding to the intensity: Chess’s boyfriend, Terrible, doesn’t trust her, and Lex, the son of a rival crime lord, is trying to reignite the sparks between him and Chess. Plus there’s the little matter of Chess’s real job as a ghost hunter for the Church of Real Truth, investigating reports of a haunting

Heeeyyy, everyone! For those who have no clue who I am, I'll keep this short. My name's Dakota Cassidy, and I write fluffy (like lightly whipped fluffy), humorous paranormals for Berkley Sensation. Mark Henry invited me to join the League after I threatened heinous acts of violence against his person, involving my stilettos and an old can of Aqua Net. After much resistance, and the utter ruination of a sassy pair of red pumps, here I am :) In celebration of my forced entry... er, induction to the League--I got booty for ya :) Here's what I'm in for, and this is what ya gotta do--post in the comments section. Just say hello--that's it :) That enters you in the contest for... A signed copy of the second book in my Accidental series,   Accidentally Dead , but that's not it. I'll buy TWO books--winner's choice--written by any of the authors here on the League. That means you could win books by Caitlin Kittredge, Jaye Wells, that meanie-butt Mark Henry, Miche
