Pureblood werewolves
I'm deep in revising my MS, which of course I should have started earlier, but I am very excited about it and about the new book by McMahon-Coleman and Weaver on recent werewolves in pop culture. I'm re-reading it more thoroughly now, and I'm pleased to see that, yes, there's plenty more to be said ( Read more... ) -

Some stuff
Some students from my school have been working their asses off getting Quidditch started.

The Way of the Wolf

Standing in the middle of the Young Adult Paranormal Romance section of Barnes and Nobles is like a dementor attack. It destroys every good feeling, every happy memory, and eventually turns you into a soul sucking monster ( Read more... ) -
Must I be this comprehensive?
I have six pages of annotated bib. Seven presentations to collate, combine, etc. And there is all this bloody teen romance to include. Do I have to read stuff like this? "Rylie Gresham hates everything about summer camp: the food, the fresh air, the dumb activities, and the other girls in her cabin. But the worst part is probably being bitten ( Read more... )
