Bonanza!

Lyrical Press's End of Summer celebration culminates this weekend with live chats (accessible through a window at the LPI blog) on Saturday starting at 6 PM central with tons of authors and prizes. On Sunday, same time, same place, the LPI editors will be available to answer all your reader/author questions.

Come party your butt off (next day hangover or not? YOUR choice).

PS Don't forget - the remaining author and editor profiles will post today on the blog, too. Comment on individual interviews for chances to win free books!

She-cat

I believe I've undergone some experimental treatment. The staff in a building operating under the facade of an oral surgical facility has turned me into a half-cat.

I'm not making this up. All I want to do now is sleep - some days even more than my cats - and when I wake up and stretch I want to sleep some more. I make strange purring noises in the back of my throat (sometimes when I'm not even asleep yet!), and I have an uncanny craving for meat. Any kind of meat: fish, beef, chicken, pork... perhaps in part because so many of those grinder-teeth are gone, and now I'm left with a higher ratio of the bite-off-shreds-n-tatters-of-your-fare, fang-like teeth.

If I start growing (longer) whiskers, The Institute for Upright-Walking-Cat Creation is going down.

The Piper Book Review Ratings System

Get Your Own Copy! A book you love so much, no way are you loaning it out. Worthy of high praise and frequent recommendations – but trust us, if you let someone borrow this one, they’ll “forget” to return it. Don’t miss the next title by this author.

Keeper. You won’t regret either time or money spent with this book. It has a permanent spot on your shelf. Recommend it freely and lend it carefully to that trustworthy “inner circle” of reader friends. Put the author on your To Be Read list.

Nice Bang for Your Entertainment Buck. Well worth your time and money, but probably not one you'll re-read. Pass it on to someone who’ll enjoy it and keep the author on your radar.

Borrow It. An okay read, but try to borrow it from a friend or library. This author will likely improve with experience, so remember him/her.

Don’t Bother. We won’t sink into varying degrees of badness – one size fits all in our “not worthy” category. Do remember, this is just one opinion, so take us with a grain of salt.
