The AJC’s Book Page blog explains the unintentional hilarity behind the plagiarism charges being levied against romance author Cassie Edwards. It involves an overly detailed discussion of ferrets. Following a heated scene.
Let’s just pause here a moment. Shadow Bear, old buddy, if you have just done your manliest best with a woman, and you and she are entwined on a pile of pelts or whatever, and she starts nattering on about a book she read about ferrets, then you need to raise your game a notch. Trust me on this.

I was browsing blog headlines at “The Metaxu Cafe,” and I had to check this one out…and then the first comment was even funnier than the entry. Ferrets and steamy romance…sort of like chocolate and peanut butter…only not.

I agree with Phil Kloer’s sentiment and would add that if a woman is not only talking about ferrets, but doing so in a manner so stilted that sounds like she lifted it from a magazine article, you can’t expect her to return your smoke signals. In fact, I hate to tell Shadow Bear this, but she was probably just looking for an opportune moment slip out the teepee flap unnoticed.
