the league of reluctant adults

Oh, hello there. Umm... (ouch, stop poking me, Mark!) So yeah, hi... my name is Kat and I'm a reluctant adult. I didn't used to be a reluctant adult. Oh, no. Let me tell you, back when I was eight or so, I was all ready to do that, but, you know, eventually it just became a massive burden. But then it was too late. I was wearing suits and heels, jockeying a desk, going out for lunches, and all that adult stuff. It really pissed my fifth grade teacher off. We had a talk. You know: The Talk. But it didn't help. In fact, nothing helped until I hit college. that's when I met my best friend in the fight against adulthood: drinking. And its buddy procrastination. And I've been working that team like a plow horse ever since. Now, alas, I do occasionally have to act like an adult, put on the suit and heels, take a lunch.... But I make sure I take my buddies along. May I have another whiskey, please?

* e steps up to the microphone * Ahem. My name is Kelly Meding, and I'm an urban fantasy author. * points to name tag * No really, I am. Ask Jackie, she knows. * double-checks bribe money has been sent to Jackie's account * I've been hanging around the League for a while now, and I'm thrilled to be among the ranks of so many awesome reluctant adults. Most of the pertinent biographical details can be found on my website or blog , so I won't bore you with them here. Suffice it to say I can quote the entire original Star Wars trilogy in its near-entirety, I always root for Freddy Krueger to win (even though he never does), and my childhood hero was the Cryptkeeper. My debut urban fantasy series from Bantam Spectra will hit the street in Fall 2009. In THREE DAYS TO DEAD, Evangeline Stone is a paranormal bounty hunter who wakes up in a morgue, stuck in a strange (and recently dead) body, and has only three days to solve her own murder, deal with a brand-new at...

Hello there, league and followers-of-league. My name is Cherie Priest and I'm a new inductee into this hallowed space (is it hallowed, really? I suspect otherwise). I'm a writer originally hailing from Florida, but more recently hailing from Tennessee, and then more recently still living in Seattle, Washington -- which is how I know Mark Henry, who roped me into ... well ... this . Not that I'm complaining -- far from it. I'm a blogging fool, I am, and I'm mostly game for any further excuse to natter on in front of God and everybody about almost anything. So I send up my thanks to Mark for inviting me, and the rest of the League for having me. If you still have no clue who I am and you demand further information, then I send you over to my personal webpage where you can rifle through my archives, my reviews, my biography and bibliography, or anything else that strikes your fancy.
