Richelle Mead's Work! (Board Member goes pro)

[Richelle Mead]

Hi there,

It's the first one, with emphasis on the ROAM part.  I can see how if you took a Greek slant, someone might pull something out of it that sounds like Jeremy, but I went with the "butch" version.  That's the usual bastardization nowadays.

Hope that helps!  Thanks for the question.

Um, Ms. Mead?

I have a question regarding Georgina's John Cusack look-a-like demon boss.

Is his name pronounced Jer-roam or like Jeremy?

My friend pointed out that the old Christian pronunciation of that spelling is like Jeremy, but i thought the Jer-roam pronouncement was more butch, so i kinda took mental liberty, however, i would like your honest input on the intended pronunciation of the name.  Thank you.

Oh wow, Richelle Mead validated my rightness over my friend.  That's so sweet.  Thanks Ms. Mead!

heads up.  really liked Storm Born, I'm only about a third of the way through but it zings nicely.  Especially appreciated the hot sex scene in the beginning.  I like it more than Succabus Blues.  SB has a firmer place in the moment for some illusive reason, where as SB was like fresh lemonaid.  Both nice, just different.

Which SB is which again?

(psst.... ^^^^ title of thread...) ^{Succubus Blues}

[BookLover♥]

Oy, I get that.  But she's comparing Succubus Blues to Storm Born.

Then she abbreviates them both as SB!

[Murphy's Stunt Double]

Ooops, yep, I see what you mean now.

[meg_evonne]

Sorry guys, thumping my head against my desk, but the smarts just won't get in there and the dumbs stick like goop in a stopped up drain.  (sigh)

'sokay, meg, we loves you anyway!

[Murphy's Stunt Double]

Yeps. Weeez, du! *snugglehugs Meg*

I'm currently reading Storm Born, so far, so good.

I have one question for Richelle, in this world, is the supernatural out in the open?

[meg_evonne]

me and my 'pooh' brain, I don't think so...but it wasn't emphasized as the need to contain.  Like in JB those in the know, including stubborn want to be in the know vanilla humans only knew.  I'll defer to Richelle....  obviously! lol

[Noey]

I'd defer to Richelle too, but my instinct says no. My reasoning is twofold. First, the main character would probably be more mainstream about her advertising. Second, if the supernatural were out in the open,

the roommate would all but scrawl SHAMAN ASK ME HOW!! on Eugenie's forehead in order to help authenticate his own Native American schtick, and therefore get laid even more often than he does now.

Just a theory. 

[meg_evonne]

I like your theory Noey!  Also i was recalling that even the guy that wanted

his running shoe- de-demonized or something--  didn't get the whole story

.  I think it read more like she was a step above a ghosthunter or an exorcist sort of...  i.e. would read like a fake in the same sense that people wouldn't believe in a Wizard for Hire in Chicago either.

Just came back from the bookstore, where I got "Succubus Dreams", and now I can't decide which to start on: that, or Neil Gaiman's Graveyard Book...
