Couple of Harlequin titles that, I should emphasize here, are in no way related to The Sheikh’s Batmobile. That said, they look like a spicy read.
It’s mildly terrifying - if utterly unsurprising - that Harlequin are a) still publishing books and b) dead to even the basics of cultural sensitivity. I look forward to their (no doubt forthcoming) Black President series. As for the Sheikh’s Rebellious Mistress, no word on whether Kate Winslet is still starring in the movie version.

I’ve been blogging about SXSW Interactive at the National Post’s blog The Ampersand. This felt like a critical festival at a turning point for just about every creative industry on the planet. I wouldn’t say it feels panicked out here, but it sure don’t feel calm. Read one of my blog entries here.
