Pretty Poison

Some of you know I read Laurell K Hamilton's blog. I have given up on her Anita Blake books; they've been getting consistently worse since Obsidian Butterfly (which was a real gem) and her blog (unintentionally) explains clearly why they're never going to improve. I think it's a shame. Her publisher is, naturally, more interested in getting her books out into the marketplace regularly than in putting out a quality product, and as long as people still buy her bad-porn-masquerading-as-novels the publisher and editor have no motivation to explain to her that she's writing crap.

ETA: As I was saying... :-)
