the origins of urban fantasy and paranormal romance
Gwenda Bond’s article for Publishers Weekly on the origins of urban fantasy and paranormal romance is a wonderful antidote to the NY Times profile of Charlaine Harris that claimed Stephenie Meyer made the genre what it is today. What arrant nonsense that was! Bond does a lovely job, mentioning Sherrilyn Kenyon, Marjorie Liu, and Harris along with lots of newer authors — and pointing out that Buffy was a turning point for the younger generation.

What Took You So Long? The quiet hell of 10 years of novel writing. This, my friends, is the story of my life.
#Top ten signs you need to go back on your meds:
1. You’ve just thrown a puppy at the Hell’s Angels
2. … after mooning them
3. … on the grounds of their clubhouse
4. … and you’ve attempted to escape on a bulldozer.
Really, I think we can stop there.
