One of those posts some of you hate
I usually do the blog relish for things that don't really go into a post, but, relishes are usually funny and I just can't find any humor here.
First, some housekeeping. Local Girl and Rhian, your prizes have been sent. Please do me a favor and drop me an email when you get them, though LG, the post office said three weeks, danged media mail.
Now, I am looking to my author friends. Rhian, Tilly, even Wylie this means you. I have been tearing through the earliest book by Kim Harrison and I was curious about what you thought about her writing. Because, honestly, I think she's is great. The Rachael Morgan character is great. I am a tad disappointing at the lack of fan sites. Can't someone do a Dead Witch Walking screen saver?
Now, this is one of the few times I am looking to Fox News for some actual information. Shockingly, they are the first ones that come up with the story of a donkey testifying in Texas. Now, who swore him in? Mayor McCheese? Gotta love Texas.
I have a contest coming next week, more books on the block. I also have a daunting task that I have been mulling over for the last week or so. I am going to ask for help, just because I can.

Heya cutie-
It figures that Fox would be the one to bring you all the important donkey-related news. :)
OK, not everyone in Texas owns a donkey. WTH?
Love Kim Harrison! She's one of my LOL reads...oh man, her fairy partner cracks me up. I'm not sure why there aren't more fan sites because she's been around a while and has a big following. In fact, her last book was released in hardback which is a big deal.
I love Kim Harrison's books. If you like her you should try the new series by first time author Vicki Pettersson.
Sparkster - do you even need to wonder? I've been hooked since her first book hit the shelves. One of my favorite authors in the world is Charles DeLint and Kim's stories have a hint of that Delinty urban mythos flavor. Have her last one in my TBR pile. I was pretty sure there were some fan sites and there are some in her links, as well as her myspace: http://www.myspace.com/kimharrisonbooks. If you have't read any Kelley Armstrong put that on your must read list too. Also a series so start with "Bitten." smooches - rhi
I am anticipating the arrival of george tenet's new book. Reviews say the white house is not going to be happy about what he has to say.
A donkey testifying? WTF!? Now, I've heard it all....
Yup, that's one of the downside of living on an island. The boat sure takes a long time to get here!
Do I count as an author friend?
I'm a fan of Kim Harrison, too. The writing's crisp and the imagination vested in her world is HUGE. This series should be more popular than some of the others out there -- *I* think.
Oh man... blogger ate my comment! And it was a long one too!!
Here we go again with a shorter version -
I've never heard of Kim Harrison but will make a point of checking her out next time I'm in my friendly neighbourhood bookstore.
(But now I'm bitter because I said a lot more the first time around...)
