cbpotts has reviewed my 2007 Buffy the Vampire Slayer novel The Deathless for Smart Shoppers Secrets: A Book Blog with a Funny Name, and liked it a whole bunch.

They breed plot bunnies. This one is all cbpotts ' fault. (Well, one of the commenters, who talked about doing a co-op arts program, and now I have a character who is a wandering artist and ARGH!

Not bad for a non-morning...

We're thinking Night at the Smithsonian - I can't talk her into Angels & Demons...
