I read it for the articles, I swear

Don't think for one second I bought this for what's on the back cover. No sirree, not me. I bought this one for the articles.

(a; an; the- to be sure, but articles nonetheless)

Graham Brown's BLACK RAIN is on sale today. (smelling salts not included)

  1. Oh.My.G! Um, I think I have the hero of my next romance novel all picked out now. Rushing off to place an order for this. Strictly for research purposes, of course.

  6. Hell, I'd buy it for the back cover!

  7. *Dies Laughing* I think that might be the funniest thing I've read in a while.

    Hey from one girl to another - No one can blame you for that one. :D

  10. So this is the crazy thing - the guy can actually write. I mean crazy good. And not only that, he's got a really terrific sympathetic female character and she's strong without being bitchy, and brave and smart and interesting. And I don't even know the first thing about science - I'm amazed when my car starts or coffee comes out of the coffee maker - but I was completely glued to the book. And *then* it gets all Indiana Jones, but back when Indy was *good*, like when you really cared that he didn't get smushed by the stone wall crashing down. They're all running crazy around the place trying to escape unspeakable death and suddenly it's time to get the damn carpool and you just want to pull your hair out.

    That's how good it is.

  14. Wow. I think I need a makeover.

  16. Yeah, that's a little bit of all right.

  17. ... and I'm off to write "I Stalked Graham Brown and All I Got Was This Lousy Book Deal."

    It'll be fiction. Uh-huh. That's the ticket, fiction.

  19. Just when you thought you found a profession where folks are not judged on their looks...

  21. That's unfair sale's tactics.

    ReplyDelete

  25. OMG Pierce Brosnan could play that guy's UGLY brother in a movie!

  26. I was completely entranced until I read his bio. He's clearly all looks and no brains. Pilot, lawyer, and health care executive?

    I mean, really...

    Questionable intelligence aside, all the best to Graham on Black Rain's release!

  27. All I can say is . . . damn, baby.

    ReplyDelete
  28. I've put the book on my wish list. Too bad he doesn't come with it.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Hmmm, I predict an American Idol for Writers tv show.

    We all sit at our computers typing away, is it the fastest typist or the best looking?

    Loved the dangling participle comment... :)

  30. Oh, my goodness.

    The book looks good, too. Sophie's description seals the deal.

  33. Oh jeez... Now I'm going to have to go out and buy this book.

    I'm fickle like that.

  34. Holy Younger Pierce Brosnan, Batman!

  35. Not to get in the way of everyone's swooning and rending of garments, but Graham is actually a really awesome, funny, super-intelligent and HUMBLE guy. And I probably just made his night by texting him the link to this blog post and comments. :)

  36. Cold Shower Alert! Holy Moses, Janet. You should really warn people before they scroll down. (I'm forever in your debt.)

  37. Mama likey! He can use his pen to sign my book anytime he wants. Nudge nudge - wink wink. No really I'm married but he's hotter than Georgia asphalt!

  38. I have only one thing to say: PHWOAAR!!

Keep your comments succinct. Any comment that runs longer than 100 words is generally too long.

If you're commenting more than three times a day, it's too much.


Civility is enforced. Spelling/grammar mistakes may be pointed out ONLY in the blog post itself, not in any of the ensuing commenter's contributions.

If your comment doesn't show up, it's most likely that Blogger ate it. Try posting again using a GoogleID. (comment moderation is on only for older posts)
