KISS THE DEAD, CHAPTER SEVEN
Dec. 20th, 2013 12:29 pmOatmeal is living in Jabez's old cage. She's about a month and a half old, still quite smaller than an adult hamster, and she's a beigey-cinnamon-brown sort of color that reminded me of oatmeal, hence her name. She's let me handle her twice now since taking her home, though she did nip me once. She didn't draw blood though, and I think she was just exploring what the heck my finger was. She loves her wheel already!
Found a HILARIOUS interview with LKH about the Anita Blake comics!
http://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/new-titles/adult-announcements/article/17724-anita-blake-stakes-out-comics.html
Here are my favorite quotes:
"You want your characters to be taken seriously. With women, that's always hard—hard for women in real life, as well as in comic books. A lot of female images in comics are a little too much like they've gone to the plastic surgeon too often, that whole, "breasts look like they should be flotation devices" thing. I mean, Anita has scars on her arm. But the artist, Brett Booth, was a huge fan of the series. He got Anita. "
ANITA HAS SCARS ON HER ARMS OK SO HER FLOTATION BREASTS ARE ALRIGHT!
"I wanted Anita to look like a real woman. Brett Booth got that." She thinks the way anita is drawn looks real?

"I never thought I'd be able to do a prequel to the Anita books, but comics have allowed me to. So now the prequels will exist only as comics. For a book, I'd have to do a lot of soul-searching: I can't write Anita as a rookie vampire hunter anymore. I can't unknow the things I know about her. She’s a veteran vampire hunter now. But I found I can write the dialogue for a prequel. And Brett's art has captured a younger, gentler Anita—before she gets that look in her eye."
Firstly you fail as an author. Secondly she's not a rookie in this 'prequel' she's already called the Executioner. And thirdly SHE'S GOT THAT LOOK IN HER EYE, IT'S AN ASSHOLE LOOK
