I mentioned the Manolo in my babbling below, and this is the first thing I saw when I checked his site out after submitting my entry:

Eerie. And also: terrifying. The thought of both Kirstie Alley and Fabio on a romance novel cover is painful enough to make a hardened man cry. And isn’t that picture one of the signs of the impending apocalypse in the Book of Revelations?

I also remember reading these, not many, but they exist. I don’t remember any titles though.
I remember reading these!! You read her side of the story (in first person) then you flipped the book over and read his side (again, first person). After reading the whole book you got the complete picture of what happened.…
Well, gee—
My copy of the three-armed lady isn’t new, but is in very good shape for its age… and signed to boot. The connecting story, Candle in the Window, is also signed. Perhaps I should move them…
This is actually a very interesting post.
