Falling in Love with Potatoes: Why Zombies Can Never Be Sexy

I love paranormal romance.  I love Urban Fantasy.  I love speculative fiction.  And I love classic horror.  But I’m noticing a trend starting to emerge that worries me.  I’m calling it now, before it goes too mainstream, and I really, truly hope it doesn’t get that far.

The trend I’m referring to is zombies.

Couldn’t Resist

One of my fabulous critique partners, Roni,  bestowed this lovely award upon me and I couldn’t pass on an opportunity to make up lies about other people I know, so I’m actually going to participate. 

 

Rules:

  1. Five recipients.
  2. Make up something about the people you give the award to.
  3. Link to the people you give it to.
  4. Link back to the original award post.

Here are my 5 chosen victi–… uh… blogosphere soulmates:  

Thomma Lyn Grindstaff, because she can talk to cats and actually understand what they say back to her and translate for others.   

Debbie Mumford, because we were sisters in a past life, in Scotland, only then *I* was the boss. :P

A. Catherine Noon, because she can sing an appropriate song for any troublesome situation we find ourselves in and/or knit us a means of escape.  

Rose Lerner, because, srsly, what kind of soulmate would I be if I didn’t plug IN FOR A PENNY?  GO BUY IT NOW!!! (She pays me $.01 every time I say that.)

Kerry Allen, because I need to get on her good side if I want to survive her plot for world domination.
