Promo and contest
Jun. 12th, 2011 11:09 amI have a new book today! All right, it's a short story. Lesbian fairy tale ahoy!
Giants' Peak holds adventure and love that is anything but typical for Molly Whuppie...
When food supplies run low in their large family, Molly and her two older but less capable sisters are sent away by their parents, forced to fend for themselves. Molly soon realizes she must put her skills to the test in order to save them all, from starvation, from the sinister woods, and from the fierce giants and vengeful giantesses inhabiting Giants' Peak.
But an encounter with three beautiful giant sisters gives Molly hope that not only will she and her siblings survive, but she might also find unexpected love along the way...
$1.95 this week.
To celebrate. I'm giving away three copies of it (everything comes in threes in fairy tales). To enter, leave a comment telling me about your favorite fairy tale. Winners will be chosen tomorrow by random number generator.

day 02 - your least favorite song
day 03 - a song that makes you happy

This is tough as there are really no bands I hate. There are bands whose music is not my taste. But even then, I can usually find a song or two I like.
However, these is no excuse for Metallica or the lyrical abomination they committed on this song, one of my all time favorites. It doesn't even RHYME!

Movies for 2011
Jun. 12th, 2011 03:38 pmNetflix is the crack. Bad horror on demand. i think I'm trying for 100 movies this year.
( Read more... )
48) Lost Boys: The Thirst. The Frog brothers are recruited by a paranormal romance writer to rescue her brother who disappeared at a vampire rave. Interesting concept, retread script. Two excellent moments, and they both belong to Allan Frog. (f,2)
49) Class of Nuke'em High. Cult film about toxic waste turning the honor society into Mad Max rejects. Entertaining. Very 80s. (p)
50) Session 9. An asbestos clean up crew takes on an abandoned mental hospital, but one of them is listening to tapes of a MPD woman's therapy sessions. Slow, but tense. Very good. (f,1)
51) Practical Magic. A pair of sisters live with their witchy aunts after their mother's death and must deal with the family curse that any man they love will die. Moderately accurate depiction of witchcraft, super hot Nicole Kidman licking Sandra Bullock's neck, and Stockard Channing being absolutely fabulous. BETTER THAN THE BOOK! (p)

Six Sentence Sunday
Jun. 12th, 2011 03:50 pmthe piece for Zombiality 2
Insanity rides the star-winds, screaming along the paths of the tiny, fragile ships that hurtle between the lonesome silver canisters of humanity that turn above dead worlds, slowly orbiting in bleak silence and endless night. My beloved was such a ship. When he died, as so many did during the plagues that swept the earth, the men of science seized his body before it was cold, transferred his mind to a vessel before it could die and taught him of flight and the void and an existence of cold metal and colder space.
Forgive my penchant for the melodramatic. It is my stock in trade. I am an entertainer--one of the last live performers--Master of ceremonies, gaffer of a troupe that shuttled between the stations, alleviating the confinement and drudgery of the crews.

Space pirates, dark urban SF, womanizing reptiles, and carnivals in a dieselpunk Depression. This one is excellent. (I read the ARC)
My piece is "Songs for Guitar and French Harp." Constructs are human-animal hybrids, made in labs. But Ursula escaped, with her unborn cub. Now, she and Arthur make their way as best they can, along with her human husband, Frank. Arthur falls for a construct dancer with their carnival's hoochie show, and learns of love and heartbreak and bravery as he and Gordon are parted. With the help of his stepfather, Arthur sets out to find his mate through a Depression-era South, where constructs only exist to be owned.
