Marta Acosta asked Candy and me to judge her Book Trailer Contest - and here we are offering our cranky opinion alongside Michael Gough, a VP from Adobe, Ron and Sarah from GalleyCat, and the Bookseller Chick. Wow. We’ll have to be somewhat respectable, I’m guessing. Or not!
But the prize kicks ass - First Prize gets Adobe Creative Design Suite 3. That’s almost as Hofftastic as a Hoffobiography, isn’t it? So check it out and enter your fantastic finest book trailer. And if you do one for the Hoffobiography, I can’t promise to give you extra points but I can promise I will totally laugh my ass off.

Okay, the value of the Hoffiography, which will be remaindered any second now, is about $6.99, and the value of the Adobe CS 3 is $1799, so that makes the CS3 about 257 times as awesome a prize!
I hope that some of the very smart bitches who design the fabulous HoffLOLs and klassic kovers will enter this contest. I wish I could give the first prize to Candy and Sarah, because I know they would use their upgraded design skills for evil, not for good.
Second prize, $300 gift certificate to Amazon, Macy’s, wherever you want. Third prize, 10 spanking new novels from Simon & Schuster, including Fern Michaels, Jill Barnett, Liz Carlyle, etc.
A website that reviews romance novels from a couple of smart bitches who will always give it to you straight. No bullshit. No gushing--unless the author really deserves it.
(I would have suggested “Romance For Dummies” but a gift like that--while possibly appropriate--would probably be in bad taste, given the circumstances).
LOL. Yeah, in that case. But hey, that’s an awesome book. That’s where I learned my romance…
Stupid question from a new convert—what defines a Harlequin romance (besides being published by Harlequin, obviously), and what is the actual definition of a bodice ripper? Since every time I’ve heard it used, it seems to be used incorrectly.

Speaking of cool gift ideas, I found one that will work for the DH, the MIL, my mom and the sitter...all in one.
Now if they show up half as cool as they…

Grrr...WTF? That blows. When is romance going to stop being the red-headed stepchild of literature and gain the respect it deserves? So irritating.
From Half Time Penalties
Shiloh, that was AWESOME! In fact, may I say, Bitchalicious. I can’t believe you just whipped that up!
