Give the Countess a happy word — she's had her first novel accepted for publication. She's going to have to let me have a copy to review.

*perks up* Davy Jones?
No? Dammit, there's no new erotica out involving him. I've read everything.
Yeah, unfortunately it's romance for the mainstream---you know, the people responsible for the popularity of things like Christianity and microwave dinners and American Idol. Notorious for their collective lack of taste.
No offense to the Countess, of course. But a good romance novel has been, in my experience, a rare bird. Most of them could only be enjoyed by someone with no taste.

Errr, did I miss something? Who's "The Countess"? No context is provided. Is it someone you know? Someone we should know?
