…I would, because I’m not a shopper, but I live in a rural community of 900-ish people and it’s not an option. As far as shopping goes, I’m especially not a Wal-Mart shopper except under extreme duress.

This image sums up my feelings.

 I’m impressed with EPIC’s open letter on the RWA v Harlequin situation.

  http://www.epicauthors.com

Will Harlequin authors be reimbursed their RWA membership fees when their memberships are revoked? It seems only reasonable since this split occurred through no actions on their part.

Stay tuned…as the book page turns

You’re probably familiar with the fairy godmother concept, but have you ever contemplated the possibility of a fairy godhunk? The dictionary.com definition of fairy godmother is a generous benefactor.

 Well, I say it’s past time to rethink this gender-specific stereotype and create what we really want:

A Fairy Godhunk

So, I’m closing my eyes, making a wish, and I choose…

 It hurts me that Patrick Swayze, Farrah Fawcett, and Michael Jackson left us many, many years before their time. This is how I will always remember them.

May you rest in musical and cinematic peace.

at the Book Roast blog. Here’s a little blurb straight from the Book Roast blog:

Drop by and chat with authors, real time. Each day an author is on board, read an excerpt and answer a silly question for a chance to win a free book. Or, ask your own questions. Share your thoughts. See “Contest Ingredients” for details.

I’ve never been roasted before, so I need everyone to stop by on January 30 and leave a comment so I don’t end up feeling like an ultra maroon (just kidding).

Here’s the cover of my book up for the roast.

 Here’s another actor who looked pretty darn good as a cowboy, urban or not.

I live a little ways southwest of the geodetic center of the United States (48 contiguous states). In plain terms, this means I live 250 miles southwest of the Middle of Nowhere. On census reports, our area is classified as rural/frontier, so you can imagine the lack of local conveniences, one of which is the absence of a theater. To see a new movie, I have to travel 300 miles round trip. Needless to say, I don’t see many movies until months after they open. I also don’t have satellite or cable (blog topic for later date). I wait until movies come out on dvd and buy them.

So, what’s the point of this fascinating, but useless information about the plight of my inability to see new movies at the time of their release? Well, I’ll tell you. Have you seen the new western movie (new as of October 2008) APPALOOSA?

I haven’t. If you have, what did you think? Leave your comments here and tell me about it. I’m eager to see it. With Ed Harris (also director and involved with the screenplay), Viggo Mortensen, and Jeremy Irons, even if the plot fails, you can’t go wrong with just looking at these guys and…sighing.

Here’s a link to watch the trailer: APPALOOSA
