Lovely review for The Wages of Sin

From Elise at SensualReads.com

Alex Beecroft’s The Wages of Sin is perfect for the reader who enjoys MM romance, an intriguing and dangerous mystery, a touch of the paranormal and two heroes that are brave beyond measure

Still no news on when the print anthology is out, I’m afraid.

TV meme borrowed from Gehayi

I enjoyed doing the writing meme, if only because I didn’t have to think up topics to blog about, so I thought I’d jump on this one too.  However, I don’t watch a lot of TV, so it may be sparse.

Day 1 – A show that never should have been canceled.

For example, I can’t think of a show I’ve watched that was ever cancelled.  I do remember the mucking about that occurred at the end of Babylon 5, though, where the story arc was compressed into about three episodes at the end of series 4 because they were sure they were going to get cancelled and all the material for series 5 would have to be resolved early.  And then they didn’t get cancelled – leaving them with a series 5 to write which had already had the whole punchline, denouement and point stripped out of it and revealed early in #4.  That really shouldn’t have happened, and turned what would have been the greatest SF series ever into merely one of the best SF series ever.  So I guess that’s an example of a series which should have been cancelled when they threatened to do so, but wasn’t.
