I reviewed for The Romance Reader and remember when Laurie Gold left TRR to start All About Romance. (I'm old as dirt too!)My tastes don't align much with AAR these days, except for Caz's reviews of queer romance, but I'll still pour one out for them when the last new review is posted.

Discovered him through the Rhino Records Poptopia! CDs. I think he lost his wife tragically so maybe it provides some comfort to think that he is reunited with her now? May his memory be a blessing.

Shinn recently released SHIFTER AND SHADOW, a long awaited (by me anyway) sequel to THE THIRTEENTH HOUSE that finally resolves a key relationship that was left dangling. It's published by Fairwood Press; the major publishers made the bonehead decision to drop her a while ago.

Listened to his songs growing up in the 1960s, and then fell in love with them all over again when my future husband and I discovered we were both fans. May his memory be a blessing.

Discovered the Gladhands about ten years ago. Glad to meet the other fan! How can you not love a group with a song that references Hermit of Mink Hollow?

Mazel Tov! I am pleasantly surprised that a RS article discusses romance novels with only a touch of snark. I hope the rec leads to at least a few balding, Dad bod, Rush fanboys joining the KJC Fan Club!
