I couldn’t wait for it so I made a trip to Barnes and Noble yesterday just so I could get my hands on a copy of Jenna Black’s new Morgan Kingsley novel, The Devil You Know. I’m going through a whole demon lovin’ period at the moment and the fact […]

Make sure you head over to Amber’s and wish her a Happy 30th. I still have about 18 months before that joyous occasion myself, but I’m so not looking forward to it. I know it’s just a number, but there’s something about turning 30 that makes me feel old. Do […]

Amber has been showing me all these new artists so I thought I would spotlight some of the ones that I already like as well as add them to the side panel. I’m always looking for new artists, especially ones I might be able to find at Allposters so I can decorate my new office, so if you have anyone you want to recommend, let me know. I’ve been a fan of these artists for awhile now and they haven’t disappointed me yet.

A Werewolf and his computer…

28 July 2008 Jackie 2

There are always questions as to what Urban Fantasy is. I don’t think anyone has actually come up with a universal recognized definition, but I think Terry Spear has a definition that I can totally see.

To me, it is mythical, fantastical creatures living in our contemporary times…Think of the hero, werewolf extraordinaire, working on his computer. It’s urban fantasy.

That’s it, don’t you think? Afterall, don’t we look for something to shock, surprise us in our everyday lives and what else could do it like a good werewolf or vampire? Terry really goes into more detail and if this topic interests you, then you really need to get over there and read her arguments.
