Am writing this with a brain that feels like it’s wrapped in cotton. Been battling what I thought was hay fever since I got back from RT only to find that it turned into a full blown cold. Egads—the second bout of this crap I’ve had in the last two months and always after a plane trip. I never used to get caught by these damn bugs.

Anyway, here are some photos from RT-- First two view out of my hotel window (just in case anybody was curious about what Pittsburgh looked like)












Not very good pic of a former Mr. Romance who landed at our table during the charity dinner. He was handsome, personable and very, very nice. The pic was taken by table buddy Marcia Collette.



Look close—that’s Fabio in the center. He really is nicer looking in person and has a quiet rather than flamboyant personality.



This is well known author Angela Knight and two of the cover models.



And ta-da here’s Angela and me and Adrian Paul. My deer in headlight expression says it all.








For a fantabulous RT round-up click on over to Jackie Kessler’s blog. And then onto Urban Fantasyland for the COMPLETE lowdown and more pics than you can shake a cover model at, including Mark Henry’s glamour shots.

Now on to some book news:

New York state has decided it needs money so badly it’s passed a law to collect sales tax on Internet sales. It’s expected to be challenged (duh).

And it looks like Cassie Edwards and publisher Signet have parted ways over those plagiarism claims. Signet says all rights have reverted to the author.

For fans of the Whedonverse (in honor of Dollhouse in production NOW--can we all say YEA!!!)

An interview with Anthony Stewart Head— (nothing to do with Dollhouse, but appropriate)

Joss Whedon’s ten shinest moments composed by Ben Lankester at Den of Geek (a site I love). Want to add your own?

Some then and now Buffy shots (again, not much to do with Dollhouse, just thought it was cool). Part Deux here.

And some Buffy action figures that are a bit strange. For instance:



Who knew Willow had boobs?

Last but not least, lots of new books out that you UF buffs might be interested in. Here's a link to check out the latest from the Fangs/Fur/Fey crowd.

Also, a new one from C.E. Murphy for your consideration.


So what’s happening in your world? I feel like I've been out of touch for a long time.  ¶ posted by Jeanne Stein @ 4:27 AM
