LKH's Seattle Q&A for A Shiver of Light

Many apologies for not posting this sooner, Lashers:

If the embed doesn't work, the link is HERE. For those who don't want to sit through 90mins of LKH talking or have issues with the audio, mod has done a thorough transcription: DOC and RTF format. It's too long to post to the comm in its entirety but we wanted it to be available.

( Highlights in brief. )

Beauty Flog!

For those that aren't aware, "Beauty" is LKH's latest work. It boasts a stunning 2.1 stars on Amazon. As it says on the summary page:

32 reviewers aren't wrong. This is literally one sex scene that was rejected from being added to the published books, coupled with some of LKH's cut-and-paste backstory in case you can't keep track of all the bland men in Anita's life.

Even the cover labels it an "outtake" which apparently means, "we didn't know what to do with this so we decided to see if people would pay $2.99 to download it it." No excuses yet for why Anita is apparently a brown-haired blue-eyed unscarred tan-but-white lady. I kind of like the cover, though. It's not pretending that anything is happening in this story but everyone lounging around and focusing on Anita. Plus, the writing superimposed over her chest makes it look like they just said "fuck this book, I don't even care" and stole an image off a stock photo site.

In any case, if you don't feel like slogging through the 33 pages yourself, here's a summary and some choice excerpts!

Beauty

It's only taken a small eternity for the Amazon page to be updated with some kind of information as to what this even is - and the publication date has changed from April 24 to May 8:

The steamy outtake that takes readers even further into Laurell K. Hamilton’s bestselling novel, Kiss the Dead.

You’d think I’d get used to seeing such a beautiful man and knowing he was mine, but it never grew old, as if his beauty and the fact that he was mine, and I was his, would forever surprise me.

With a vampire like Jean Claude around, it’s far too easy for Anita Blake to doubt her own appearance—and the hold it has on those who love her. But one hot tub and two incredibly sexy men—Jean Claude and Asher—will make her feel like the most lusted-after woman alive…or undead. Not bad for a mere human…

“Hamilton remains one of the most inventive and exciting writers in the paranormal field.”—Charlaine Harris, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author

Includes an excerpt of Kiss the Dead, the new Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter novel.

I'm starting to wonder if this is what we get instead of the first chapter posted free on LKH's website? Given the revised drop date, Beauty comes out one month before Kiss the Dead. There has been zero chatter about what Beauty even is -- the closest I've found was just a couple of days ago over at the forum, and even then the mod couldn't actually confirm what the book was about unless she got word from Laurell herself. This whole thing strikes me as incredibly weird.

That said, yes I am going to try to get my hands on this as soon as possible. For science or great justice or something.

O.K., I work in a library and DM came in today. It was very, very slow (the computers were down) so I perused it at the desk. Somewhere in the midst of chapter 19, my head impacted with said desk. Only after I had done it did I realize that I had just had a literal "headdesk" moment. ( Here there be spoilers. And monsters. But mostly spoilers. )

I give up. Seriously. Words fail. It just... [wails] It makes no sense!

I also hope this works because I am woefully new to this lj stuff.

question

If Anita can call the dead, and heal the dead (remember when she used her own blood and the corpse came out of the ground looking totally alive? And if vampires are dead, and she can call them during the day (like she did with Damien to help her out of a jam) then why doesn't she heal Asher?
I read all the books in a three week span last year and noticed *a whole LOT* of continuity errors that bug me...

I'm so not in the mood to go trudging through the books again right now, but I need clarification on something:

Next question, is there any definite age on Asher? I know JC is supposed to be *at least* 300yrs old, probably more like 400. But what about Asher?

Crucifixes, do they glow whenever a Vampire is near or only when a Vamp is giving off dangerous vibes to the person wearing it?
Edit: Thank you!

Kill her Darlings: Here's the wind up....(Lead in to Anita, etc.)

The characters are mostly Laurel K Hamilton's, as is the actual background. The current happenings are entirely fignewtons of my own derranged mind.

Dunno if you can call anything in here a true spoiler. Y'all know who Asher is, right? Well, this kinda continues my first postie, in which we find out how JC really feels, and that Micah has been screwed unto death. This time, we flash to Asher's take, and the beginning of the end of an Anita. Now, I will warn, there's a hint of slashy goodness, but just a hint.

Let the games begin!

Quick question

I am not uber Anita Blake reader girl, but I was playing around on some fan sites and came across a bit of info that said if a vampire's human Servant dies, then the vamp dies? Wasn't Julianna Asher's Servant? Is this a mistake on the fansite or one of Laurell's oops moments?
