The Genre Pool is Getting Packed...How is LKH Coping?

[hooks-pet-otter.livejournal.com]

With the recent surge in horror/paranormal romance books and series coming out the yang this past year, one has to wonder how Laurell feels about not being the only queen in town. Especially with the emminant filming and release of Stephenie Meyers' Twilight series-based movie. Along with that, Tanya Huff's Blood Ties success, CBS's Moonlight and the slow but sure hostile takeover(in the literary world) of JR Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood. The latter being a much better example of erotica than Hamilton's. Ward uses spell-check and doesn't repeat "hot, wet, and tight" over and over until my eyeballs are "hot, wet, and tight".

I haven't been able to find anything on LKH's reaction and feelings. At least, nothing that resembles the great "Underworld" meltdown.

Has anyone witnessed to the contrary? Or is the Queen of All That Sucks actually staying mum for once on her precarious situation?

Except for the fact that I wanted to slap Bella periodically through out Eclipse, Meyer's does a better job of keeping me interested.

Ditto! In my opinion, Eclipse was the worst one. And it was still good enough that I don't regret buying it in hardcover the day it came out and I've re-read it three times. Granted, it took me about 3 months to finish it the first time, while it took me two days for Twilight (because I was doing my final exams) and half a day for New Moon.

And I know that they're sappy romance, but I can't help it. I really like them!
