BWAHAHAHAHHAAHHAHAHAHAHAA *laugh*! So very, VERY smug! Several weeks ago, in comments on ‘s journal, admired the cover for FIREBIRD DECEPTION, saying he “could almost make myself buy a romance for that Dermody cover…” This was followed by me saying they were spy novels, and him saying: Hrm… Maybe if I moved the price sticker to cover the publisher’s logo…or arranged to get an autographed copy inscribed something like this: “Dearest , It’s not a romance, it’s a [favorite epithet here] spy thriller! Get over your insecurities about your manhood and…
*contented sigh*
I have just finished reading WORLDWIRED, which was every bit as good as I expected it to be. persists in telling the kind of story I’d never think of but wish I could, in words I’d never use but wish I would, which generally comes around to “she’s a better writer than I am” in my mind.

This may have been a little on the ambitious side, but better prepared than not! I finally read ‘s fourth and final book in the Glasswright series, which I generally enjoyed. I then started IRON SUNRISE, which I immediately wished I’d read first, because I *suspected* there would not be reading time over the weekend (my family tends to talk all the time…
Interview mememememe
I kinda hope if I type slowly enough I’ll get to answer more than one interview before I post this, but for now, ‘s 1) Why is it so many writers seem to be migrating to Ireland? Or if you don’t feel like answering for everyone or think I’m imagining things, how about you in particular?
