Songs I'm Listening To
Saturday, 30 June 2007 7:26 P GMT-06
There's this thing going around the web asking people to list, without thinking much about it, the seven songs they're currently listening to. Anyway, I got tagged (thanks, Cindy), so decided to do my list here. I actually had to think

Burning Hot
Friday, 29 June 2007 1:38 P GMT-06
One of the new series I was looking forward to trying out this summer was Burn Notice on the USA Network. Thank you to Entertainment Weekly for pointing this one out. Having watched the commercial-free debut last night, I'm hooked.&nb

I Didn't Expect It to Be Fun.
Wednesday, 27 June 2007 7:21 A GMT-06
Let me put it this way: There is a real zing to ghost hunting. I was buzzing the entire time. I wanted to have the experience because...well, I wanted to have the experience. I didn't expect to actually enjoy myself and for the
Kate Cuthbert and the Educated Guesses
Friday, 22 June 2007 1:04 A GMT-06
I'm putting these down for posterity, so that if any of my thoughts actually match JK Rowling's then I have proof of my obvious brilliance. However, two provisos:I've read up to book 6, so my predictions take that into account. If you hav

Tomorrow the Ghost Hunt Begins!
Wednesday, 20 June 2007 12:21 P GMT-06
As I blogged many moons ago when I first booked the trip, I'm going on ghost hunt inside Philadelphia's Eastern State Penitentiary with Jason, Grant, and Steve of Sci Fi's Ghost Hunters. After months of waiting, tomorrow is th
Did We Stump Ya? Part II.
Sunday, 17 June 2007 9:18 A GMT-06
I'm a relative newcomer to romance short stories and anthologies. In fact, when AAR did the original mini poll for short stories and anthologies in 2001, years before I became one of the AAR Pollsters, I didn't vote in it (d
Was Barbara Cartland Responsible for Diana's Tragedy?
Thursday, 14 June 2007 10:54 A GMT-06
Tina Brown seems to think so.Or, more accurately, she sites Diana's fascination with Dame Barbara's novels as a key factor in the development of the Cinderella Complex that led Diana to hold on to her virginity (not an easy thing to do in the
Did We Stump Ya?
Tuesday, 12 June 2007 1:00 A GMT-06
Ho-kay, looks like us pollsters have stumped you guys with the latest mini-poll.It's our fault really because we didn't take into consideration that the weather would be great and the kids would be getting out of school which easily translate
Passport Chaos!
Sunday, 10 June 2007 11:43 A GMT-06
I returned three days ago from a lovely trip to northern Germany and Amsterdam with a young relative. However, this lovely trip was nearly destroyed by the current chaos that exists in the U.S. passport system. For those of you who are out of
What are you looking forward to?
Saturday, 9 June 2007 11:17 A GMT-06
With the wrap-up of the regular tv season I've found myself at something of a loss. I'm all for tuning out and doing fun summer things, but sometimes I need the tube. The problem is all the shows I've been watching have wrappe

New Mini-Polls!!
Thursday, 7 June 2007 3:50 P GMT-06
Summer is just about here! The sun and gardens, BBQs and get togethers and uh, KIDS!! Even though I don’t have kids of my own (the Godchildren still give me a run for my money) I know that my reading of anthologies goes way up in the summ
A Few Regency Characters I Miss
Wednesday, 6 June 2007 3:09 P GMT-06
The very lively discussion surrounding Monday's ATBF column veered off, as these things often do, into a discussion of the lack of historical accuracy in today's historical romances. This is a road we've all been down before, but fe
And Another One Bites the Dust
Tuesday, 5 June 2007 12:50 P GMT-06
According to TMZ.com :Larry and Laurie David have separated after 14 years -- and two children -- according to Page Six. Though the Post's report says that the official word is "very amicable, and no other parties are involved," the ann
To be fair to authors...
Monday, 4 June 2007 11:50 P GMT-06
I'm going to complain about this here, instead of a review, where it would, in fact, be years of frustration exploding all over some poor, definitely undeserving book that just had the unfortunate luck to be the straw that broke this camel's
Tomorrow's ATBF
Sunday, 3 June 2007 4:36 P GMT-06
Is written by yours truly.I've been at AAR for more than five years now and I've never before written a solo column. After engaging in this exercise, let's just say I have renewed respect for Laurie, Robin, and Anne who do this on a
