Terrill Lee Lankford, Harley Jane Kozak, The Forty Third Earl of Watership Down Gets His Groove Back
I’ve posted a review of Terrill Lee Lankford’s Blonde Ligthning over at Collected Miscellany. Someday my ability to spell will return along with my sense of humor.
Congratulations to Harley Jane Kozak are in order. Over the weekend she won two prestigious awards for her debut novel, Dating Dead Men.
The Forty Third Earl reports that his recipe for Lapin au Angleterre took second place in the third annual Newbury Culinary Arts Competition. First prize went to the Right Honorable Guy de Marchant for his interpretation of Lapin du Vin. “The prize winner offered a daring departure from tradition,” said Mrs. Earnestine Ramble-Wilhelmshaven. “The judges were far from unanimous.”
The Earl is bitter about the outcome. “Anyone can add a gallon of plonk to what was otherwise an entirely forgettable stew.” The Earl went on to imply that improprieties in the judge’s chambers prior to the final tally influenced the outcome. “I heard laughter,” he reported. “I think my silence speaks volumes.”
