A Whole New League!

By -
...well not a WHOLE new League, three of us are the same people--though forever immatured by our experience with the first League--but still a very different League.

Let's call it the League 1.5.

Does that work?

First off, some sad news. Jill Myles has decided to leave our ranks. We wish her the best with her writing pursuits and much success in her career. Don't be surprised if you see her popping up here from time to time (particularly when Sex Starved hits the shelves).

So...what's new?

I've been looking around the internets and saw that some of our readers were involved in a bit of the old speculation as to what was going on at the League Lounge. Understandable, we were 2 down and that's 2 too few, after all. So, we went on the hunt and coralled us some fresh meat. Who, who, who, you ask?

Introducing our newest members (cue drumroll)...

Caitlin Kittredge (MY BIG FAT SUPERNATURAL HONEYMOON, NIGHT LIFE)
Jaye Wells (RED-HEADED STEPCHILD)
Jackie Kessler (HELL'S BELLES, THE ROAD TO HELL, ETERNAL LOVER)

I know. Exciting, right?

In addition, we've done some housekeeping on the site--check out the new header, "About Us" page for centerfold bios and the new profiles. We're moving toward more daily contact, theme weeks (such as the upcoming Demon Week (May 11-17), guest bloggers and more interviews, contests and book club events. We're pretty excited about the progression here.

Excited enough to offer our biggest contest yet. We're giving away a MASSIVE pack of signed books by all of us (except Jaye, but she'll probably throw something in--loaf of Wonder Bread, Pet Rock, Stolen Religious Iconography, something. EDIT: Jaye's offering up her short story, RED LIFE, featured in the anthology WEIRDLY II, you'll get an e-book of that, as well). So here's the (rest 0f the) loot...


...oh yeah, signed books and some swaggy stuff (dead duck, "What's Your Sin? Personal Demons bracelet, smexy demon girl button, and that's just the beginning).

I know what you're thinking, what do I, loyal League reader, have to do to acquire such booty?

Quite simple really. There's someone missing from the new League logo. Take a guess who it is in the comments. Correct answers will be entered into the drawing. We've got some runner up prizes, too, so keep that in mind.

Contest runs 'til Monday.

Make sure to welcome the ladies and let us know what you think!

Cheers!

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...

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...
