Amazon discontinued the ability to create images using their SiteStripe feature and in their infinite wisdom broke all previously created images on 12/31/23. Many blogs used this feature, including this one. Expect my archives to be a hot mess of broken book cover images until I can slowly comb through 20 years of archives to make corrections.

Pimpin' Book News

Picked up this tidbit from NovelTalk's newsletter:

Charlotte Hubbard (writing as "Melissa MacNeal") has just accepted an invitation to write a novella for an anthology of historical erotica with a harem theme! Kensington will publish this in 2006. Check her website for more details.

I'm quite pleased that Hubbard has not abandoned her down and dirty MacNeal pseudonym! Given that her new series under her Hubbard name has strong inspirational overtones, I wondered if she had left erotica behind. Not so!

I have to admit, this tickles me. Some authors who have gone the inspirational route have not only abandoned writing "non-inspirationals," they've also denounced their earlier heathen books. Call me wacky, but the fact that Hubbard continues to write in a different sub genre, especially steamy, "dirty" erotica pretty much makes my week.

You go girl!

In other news - my parents are coming to visit. I pick them up at the airport tomorrow and they'll be here over the long weekend (for you non-Americans, Monday is our Labor Day). What does this mean? Well besides some of the touristy stuff I'll finally get a chance to do, it also means my cyper-presence will be nonexistent until Tuesday.

My apologies to the blog junkies.
