YES! Finally, a man who has his priority straights. Freaking SpaghettiOs have been haunting me.

There's something odd about signed Spaghetti...oh, wait, it's just the can. There might not be anything in it, which would be a relief in so many ways. Wouldn't want the signature to be damaged by botulism, now would we?

Although it would be kind of cool to have it, just as one of those conversation-starting pieces.

"Why yes, that's the can that the League signed. The story behind it is quite funny..."

Will you mail the spaghetti-o's to Canada?? :D These both look great! Should Dead to Me be read before Deader Still? or are they standalonish? :D

You CAN read them separately, but I think there's a deeper level to be achieved having read Dead To Me first.

I love Spaghetti-O's, and a signed can no less! But along with lunch, I would love a copy of Deader Still to read while I eat. By the way, absolutely loved Dead To Me! Thanks for the fun contest.

Yay, I don't have to choose! If I get a can (either one), I'm going to haul it to signings until I get the entire League. :)

Spaghetti Os!!! I want that! You can't get 'em in Canada any more, and I occasionally have to trundle down to Buffalo to get them.

Dead To Me is one of my fave books ever, so I DESPARATELY want Deader Still... hint, hint.

P.S. Was in Chicago over weekend and picked up Undone (Rachel Caine). Wasn't supposed to be out until the 3rd and I got it on Saturday (31st). Hope she gets paid for it...

Well, since I bought Dead to me, I would like Deader Still.

May I have a can of the Chef Boyardee Ravioli instead of Spaghettios...that was my all time favorite when I was a kid.

Book AND food!?

The times have changed. In the olden days, we just got handouts with the staples that could be used for weapons. The handouts helped us to nurture our minds and assist our imagination of the food we desired.

Hypothetically, this happened. I think. In another dimension?
Well, it could have happened..

Spaghetti O's too, yum. I'll have to fight my munchkin for them though. (I don't think he'll care that the can is signed, he'll eat them anyway.)

THE WRITE PRETENDAS

By -

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...

Carniepunk Giveaway and Tour!

So, I'm sitting in my kitchen working at my laptop, as far as you know, when the doorbell rings. As any normal human being would, assuming there was a solicitor at the door or a sappy-eyed child selling diet-busting candy, I reached for my gun and slipped to the floor to avoid detection. Creeping across the hall, I lifted my head just in time to see the bestest shit-brown truck that ever existed barrel away leaving a puffy beige package on my doorstep, just like an unwanted baby...or THIS... YESSSSSSS!!! Carniepunk ARCs came!!! Now, some of you may know that this literary wonder was the brainchild of my friend and fellow Reluctant Adult, Kevin Hearne, author of such Iron Druidness as HOUNDED and star of a certain Single Ladies Dance Spectacular, featured here (feel free to witness that particular madness as you continue to read toward the inevitable contest): As excited as I am about my story in CARNIEPUNK (July 23rd), THE SWEETER THE JUICE (a post-apocalyptic zombie h...

5 Great Horror Movies to Rinse the Bad Taste of Ouija Away

In my ongoing effort to save you from studio horror movies cobbled together from the compressed shit of Hollywood burnouts, I bring you alternatives to OUIJA! #insteadofouija OUIJA has hit DVD/VOD and there's nothing we can do about that but don our gas masks, hunker down and pray for dawn. A horrifying prospect, but at least we can be entertained while waiting for the fallout to subside. Here's a few fantastic 2014 horror movie releases to make you feel like the world is still worth living... OCULUS seems to be a secret to this day. Despite some great buzz and a truly inventive style of storytelling, bouncing back and forth in time so fast the audience is left in a constant state of unease. The story wraps itself around a rapidly deteriorating family relationship brought to the brink of insanity by the presence of a haunted mirror. And that's where things get weird. The acting is pretty above average and the horror set pieces are jarring. OCULUS wasn't my fav...
