Rowena Cherry is happy to announce the formation of a group blog at www.aliendjinnromances.blogspot.com.

Editor's note: I've visited. Thoughtful posts about the challenges of hybridizing science fiction and romance.

Rowena Cherry is pleased to announce that the July and August issue of her newsletter will be up at www.rowenacherry.com/newsletter as of July 10th.

As your beloved but freaky editor, I fought the good fight in my Campaign for Romantic Horror with this guest post at Dark, But Shining, a grand and thoughtful blog about darker speculative genres, and stirred a little discussion at Smart Bitches, Trashy Books.

Of course, I'm always up for talk about the marriage of horror and romance. Leave a comment. Send an email. Join the Campaign for Romantic Horror!

I think we need a theme song. Every good campaign needs a theme song. What do you think?
