Sorry, my alternate personality made me do it. So I’m no Paranormal Idol, but I started researching this Hump Day Bonus! on a friggin’ Monday. Enough said, right? Riiiiight. Oh, and it was with only one serving of coffee. Kthx for the applause.

Kerrelyn Sparks has some bitchin’ good bwahahaha (you know, the kind Vizzini spouted right before biting the big one) abounding in her Love at Stake series. If you’re new to this author (or already a fan and feening for something extra), you might enjoy testing the waters in her bonus section, The Vampire World According to Kerrelyn Sparks. There you can find deleted scenes from her books as well as interviews about some of her characters, by one of the characters from Vamps and the City. I noticed too she has some writing tips. As I’m a big flaming moron still at writing (as in just pecking my keyboard’s wittle heart out, writing all I can and learnin’ where I can), I couldn’t resist a peek at her Wannamarry U. section. I love to laugh. Period. Sometimes, I admit, I will laugh at something that might be inappropriate on a broader scope. But hey, laughter is the spice of my life and I laughed my ass off, possibly even enough to count as exercise. You’ve got to check it out if you’re a fan of the giggles or heck, if you just need a lift too. It’s a great way to learn what 3rd POV really is and how it works (and doesn’t work) in a book. Don’t even get me started on her following lesson on punctuation…all I know is I will be staying tuned for more lessons, Professor Hungwell.

And what the hell, I’m putting Jackie Kessler’s site up, the whole dark humored, black pit, as bonus material. The woman is a stitch and her entire site reflects her witty and slap-yo-ass type humor. Jezebel, her signature succubus…heroine??…whatever, character, is outstanding and quite different from the norm. *slaps alternate self* So why haven’t I read the second in the series yet? Anywho, keep Kessler’s site refreshed for great and humorous updates. And get yo smarting ass to the store–her writing’s great.

And it seems the list for dark paranormal authors and dark witticisms can go on and on. I’m in heaven! Or is it Hell? Either way, it’s Oh my god I’ve spent waaaaay too much time on the internet laughing my ass off (Is that worse these days than living alone with cats? Not that I do or that it’s bad to live with cats, just wondering…). It’s like, you pick up on one author’ site and there’s this nifty l’ill black brick road that you can follow to another paranormal author’s site–and they’re a stitch too! Check out Mark Henry’s blog for some male perspective on the whole big question of demons and general hellish happenin’s. Shit, another book I haven’t read yet, but desperately want to. I can feel my cesspool of the damned books quota sliding, dontcha know.

Oops, wee post is turning into my usual large beastie of a post (not to mention it kinda slid into a tangent – sorry!), so I’m cutting weres/shifters and savin’ them for anotha day. But what’s the moral of today’s Hump Day Bonus!? You guessed it, laugh yo ass off with Hell (cuz naturally, that’s a bonus in my book). And don’t sing about its minions on the fly. Yeah…no matter what the voices say.
