Hello. My Name Is Jess...
And I am one romantic mo'fo'.
Whoa! It feels so good to finally get that off my chest!
I only recently realized I'm a closet Romantic. Up until a few months ago the word was almost dirty in my book o' vocab. It ranked right up there with 'pleather' and 'camel toe.' I mean there's not much room in today's world of jaded divorcees and single parents for people of the dreamy breed. Especially at my age.
Most 20-somethings are only out to get laid. And while that's nice. (Really nice some nights.) It doesn't really float my boat to find myself with a bunch of clothes I don't remember buying and names in my phone I'm itching to erase but am afraid to in the event that they call I don't have my friendly skull & crossbones to pop up on my screen and ward me away from evil.
But while Romantics are mauled regularly in the dating world (I've seen it. Trust me. It ain't pretty.) they endure. And against my own better judgement, I find myself aligning with those people who are drawn to a world of happily ever afters and manly heroes who aren't just bar sluts...and maybe wear sexy kilts every once in awhile...
Anyway, one of my favorite writers right now is MaryJanice Davidson. She writes quirky romance novels that sometimes venture towards twisted. My favorite series is about a ditzy blonde who dies and finds herself foretold as the undead Queen of the Vampires.
It's funny and sexy and addictive like literary cocaine. If you have a couple hours to burn pick up 'Undead and Unwed.' It's a relatively quick read.
And if you already know what I'm jabbering about, here's Davidson's blog. --->MJ's Musings
Enjoy.
