I like Twitter, Tumblr, goodreads, etc so much better now I’ve turned off all the notifications.
I call it Antisocial Bitch Networking.
It works for me.
Surprisingly.
It seems to be that time of year again for me.
You know the one I’m talking about.
That skipping-the-sex-scenes season.
Yeah. The mood swing. I haz it.
Too bad the flipping to the story thing makes you realise that, well, there ain’t much of it anyways.
Meh.
Fucking oath, I do.
Don’t want to waste precious #twittertime by reading an actual book?
Too scared to leave your precious few followers to read?
Then look no further!
The folk at Kris ‘n’ Good Books are overwhelmed by the awesome of their new service which provides readers with books in 140 characters or less!
Check these out…
“First there was war and then there was peace. The end.”
“A manipulative bitch, who lives in a big white house with a girl’s name, eventually gets what’s coming to her. The end.”
“Girl + sparkly vampire + werewolf = much angst & pedobear r/ships. The end.”
“The boy who didn’t die didn’t, but he who shall not be named did. The end.”
“Altho there was a lot of pride & prejudice, the dude & the chick fell in love with each other. & Colin Firth gets wet. The end.”

I just created a new category for historical romance covers…
I call it Regency Butt.
What do you think?
You’ll never guess what I’m talking about for the next couple of days…
It’s kinda like being a DIK…
But not…
5 Things I Really, Truly Like About You
1. You’ve already moved on from this world, which means I won’t have to worry about having to kill you the way I do about *hand to heart* Sir Terry in the case of a zombie apocalypse.
2. Proof of the fact you wrote bloody good historical romance and contemporary crime fiction meaning I don’t have the urge to compare your stories to *hand to heart* Sir Terry’s is that between us the Mumma and I own every single one of your books and, in some cases, more than one copy.
3. Your integrity as an author of historical fiction resulted in meticulously researched books which , like the building of *hand to heart* Sir Terry’s Discworld, catch the imagination of the reader and envelop them in the richly detailed world of days gone by.
4. Unlike a few of those who have come after you, never did you fall into the trap of writing insipid female protagonists just because you were writing historical fiction. Instead, as was done by your idol Jane Austen and as *hand to heart* Sir Terry’s are today, your female main characters are strong, resourceful, unique and found heroes who fell in love with them regardless of how they were perceived by others – the very best of the romantic tropes.
5. You were the first romance author I ever read and it is because of you I fell in love with the genre from which I still get so much enjoyment some 25 years later. This means I will forever be grateful to you and that your wonderful work will always have a special place in my heart and not even *hand to heart* Sir Terry can compete with that.
Now, if only some of the so-called historical romance authors of today would take a page out of your book… in a totally non-plagiarist-y way, of course…
Yours very sincerely,
Kris of Kris ‘n’ Good Books
PS – *hand to heart* Sir Terry,
I took this screen shot last week cos it was bugging the hell out of me.
What’s with the lassoey font?
You think maybe the cowboy theme wasn’t obvious enough to readers??
Weird.
Finally.
A diagnosis.
