The post I mentioned about the image of motherhood in Morning Glory is up at Heroes and Heartbreakers.
(8/1/14 I’ve removed the title of this post, because it was coming up in some disgusting searches.)
Two Great Tastes That Go Great Together!
I’m over at Heroes and Heartbreakers, writing about romances based on beloved children’s books.
Meanwhile, In Another Movie
The latest Julia Spencer-Fleming book about Clare and Russ inspired me to write about favorite catchphrases in romance novels over at Heroes and Heartbreakers. Got any good ones I forgot?
It’s Weird Out There
I’m currently writing a piece for “Heroes and Heartbreakers,” and collecting titles on a particular theme. It happens to be one simply bursting with new books right now — the popularity of certain television shows likely contributing to the trend — and many are self-published. I’m finding myself reluctant to use any of the self-published titles, and I feel bad about it. I don’t want to discriminate against indie authors, and a lot of the books have very intriguing premises. But even though I’m only mentioning books, not reviewing them, I feel uncomfortable with the possibility that a book I tacitly promote could be riddled with errors, or really obvious fanfic.
I think the freedom authors get from the ability to self-publish is terrific, but right now I’m thinking of an old fake “Saturday Night Live” commercial my husband told me about, which had the tagline: “The price of freedom is eternal vigilance. Something to think about, from the people at Trojan.”
Why even bother…
I have a piece on favorite romantic meals at Heroes and Heartbreakers, with a title so perfect, I may never be able to title anything ever again.
