Stuff and Nonsense

Just flipped over the page on my World Wildlife Fund calendar (a day late, sue me), and was amused to see that the featured animals for July are gorillas. Nothing could be more fitting for the month in which Kong is finally loosed upon the reading public. heh ( Read more... )

foreign editions, anthologies, a song of ice and fire, a dance with dragons, dunk & egg

It seems your editor wants to cater to the "those who do not read" book audience. Everyone who's slightly educated knows that phrase. It's a great title, stick to your guns.

An intelligent title like that will actually attract the educated crowd, who comprise 100% of your REALISTIC audience.

I'd just like to say that this 26 year old knows what a femme fatale is. The editor is mistaken.

This 26 year old does as well... I'm pretty sure anyone who has ever watched film noir if nothing else does.

Ditto at 27. :) And I haven't watched any film noir, so I don't even have that going for me.

29, and I know it too. Also, all the under 40s (and most over-40s) I know Google something they don't understand.

I am 25 and I know exactly what a femme fatale is, so I think your publisher needs to be able to back that up a little better. Cuz Femme Fatale is a way better title than Dangerous Women.
Also I will totally get this because I love me some strong sassy ladies who will cut you.

Yay for the She-Wolves! Can't wait to read that one. I love all the Dunk and Egg stories so far.

She-Wolves of Winterfell, eh? Hmm. Dunk and Egg are about eighty-ninety years back, so...

Ha! I know what the phrase means and I am 23. Also, most of young people I know understands the phrase too. It sounds better then Women Warriors anyway.
