I'd like to think that my trilogy has got a MASSIVE super duper happy ending..."<br /><br />So glad of that ending. :) Especially because it's MASSIVE super duper. And if there's love and romance, then it's sure to conquer the monster at the window. Still gives me the shivers though. But now I'm more intrigued than ever.Jillian Kenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12565274151603868808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8584986441435970939.post-84567656381619985222012-03-12T19:05:55.937-07:002012-03-12T19:05:55.937-07:00Jillian, one of my controversial declarations was ...Jillian, one of my controversial declarations was going to be that I bite my nails, too! I guess I was afraid that was too offensive...<br /><br />On to the subject of spec fiction having happy endings: I think they absolutely can and often do. There DOES seem to be a wave of thought, though, that "happy = unrealistic/corny" but I think with all of the ugliness in the world, I want some happiness at the end of a long, dark story. I'd like to think that my trilogy has got a MASSIVE super duper happy ending, it just takes a lot of suffering and war to get there :p But that will be for the Reader to decide, I suppose.<br /><br />And it's got love and romance, too! I'm a big ole sap, despite the monsters I write about, scratching at your bedroom window...Greg Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09631434183155875197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8584986441435970939.post-58652788719874333702012-03-12T12:07:41.256-07:002012-03-12T12:07:41.256-07:00I love cheese, the color orange is my favorite, an...I love cheese, the color orange is my favorite, and milk chocolate is the best, not dark, even though it's better for you. Now buy my books for the women in your lives. :) How's that for a come back? Pretty good I thought. I do bite my nails even though I think it may be a form of self-injury. And as Bruce mentioned I hate liver too. Yuk! I think I'd make a great vegetarian if someone would only cook for me.<br /><br />Now Greg, if you want real controversy we could talk about, hmm, let me see. How about romance verses speculative fiction? Do spec. fiction novels have happy endings?Jillian Kenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12565274151603868808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8584986441435970939.post-69834933973284884732012-03-12T09:23:31.356-07:002012-03-12T09:23:31.356-07:00I HATE liver!

I guess I can be tolerant of anyone who eats liver.<br />When I was 15 my brother and I raised fancy guppies and he wanted to make our own fish food. We had over 36 aquariums of fish. So, he went out and bought a 25 pound cow's liver and we pureed it in my mother's blender. Well, we tried. The ceiling in the kitchen was a nice maroonish red afterwards and to this day the smell of raw liver makes me gag.<br />Down with Liver!!!!!<br />My next book will feature a demon possessed liver, so beware if this offends you!Bruce Henniganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04990734267362201108noreply@blogger.com
