Give the Countess a happy word — she’s had her first novel accepted for publication. She’s going to have to let me have a copy to review.
It’s in the erotic romance genre, which suggests there will be lots of tentacles, mucus-slick chitin, and numerous eyes, so I’m sure I’ll be the perfect audience for it. Oh, wait — maybe not? What else could it be about?

No? Dammit, there’s no new erotica out involving him. I’ve read everything.

Errr, did I miss something? Who’s “The Countess”? No context is provided. Is it someone you know? Someone we should know?
CalGeorge,
Well, that supports my theory that intellectuals shouldn’t wear shorts! Haha. He’s lost his scary to me now.
A friend of mine posted this on her 360 page. Off-topic, but I feel compelled to share.
