Lucky me, I missed Cowboys & Aliens in the theatre as I was in the hospital at the time, but Netflix came through for me. Here are my four, yep–only four, thoughts on the movie. Lesson 1: a little peyote can fix anything. (Who didn’t already know that?)  Lesson 2: the love of your life can be dissected and incinerated by aliens, but the sight of a hummingbird heals all emotional wounds. (They should be dispensing those at the pharmacy instead of anti-depressants.)  Lesson 3: Hollywood can CGI the hell out of aliens ripping people off horses and impaling them, but can’t do shit with a simple hummingbird. (A Disney cartoon hummingbird is more believable.)   Finally: how the hell do you...

BASILISK has made it into the FINALS in the Goodreads Choice Awards. Go Misha, Go Misha! The number of books in each category has been cut down to only ten, so the competition is waaay tight this round and we have done GOOD, everyone. Seeing Rob Thurman right there with Stephen King in the finals makes me giddy all over again. This is the final-FINAL round now – your last chance to vote for Rob. Voting ends on Sunday, so get online real quick-like today or this weekend and vote for our beloved BASILISK right here. To all of our fellow American Reavers, Happy FangsGiving! To everyone else: Happy Almost-Weekend! xoxo, Jayda

Well…what do you think, Reavers?

Reaver Army, Thanks to you, Rob Thurman is still kicking ass and taking names in the Goodreads Choice Awards! BASILISK is now in the semi-final round for Best Science Fiction, and… and… are y’ready for this? You all were incredible in writing in your votes for Best Author because… guess what? Rob is now a nominee in the Best Author Category, too! Check her out on that sexy list along with Jim Butcher, Ilona Andrews, Richelle Mead and Cassandra Clarke. This is a huge deal, and I cannot thank you enough for writing her into a category that we all know she so deserved to be nominated in. Now then, once again, we need your votes to get Rob...

All right, these three Reavers have won their choice of one autographed Rob Thurman book, a collectible Doubletake postcard, and a wicked-hot Rob Thurman Series bookmark . Congratulations to: Cal’s Girl B.E. Sanderson Ally Mack Thanks everyone, for partying with us over All Hallow’s Dead Week! Until Next Contest, -Rob and Jayda  

Hell-Oh, Reavers! Just a quick note to let you know that you’ve got Ms. Jayda quite busy tallying the bazillion comments you contributed to the All Hallow’s Dead Contest! We will be drawing three winners. The goal is to announce our Lucky Trio on Friday. Thanks for such a great turn-out! Oh, and for making me crave every single Halloween candy on the market – as if my choccie addiction wasn’t bad enough already. xoxo, Jayda

Well Reaver Army, we did it! We heaped so much love on The Korsak Brothers, BASILISK has been nominated for a GoodReads Choice Award in the Science Fiction category. Gotta love seeing Misha staring back at us along with Stephen-frakking-King in those top nominees! But this is just the beginning. To get into the Semifinals, Rob Thurman, Misha, Stefan and Godzilla need your votes – and lots of ‘em, because the competition is stiff. We have until November 13th to get Rob and BASILISK into the semi-finals. So spread the word, get over to GoodReads and vote! And if you do vote, please Tweet about it with #GoodreadsChoice as the hashtag, include #RobThurman and @Rob_Thurman in your tweets. Please...

Just because Halloween proper has passed doesn’t mean it’s over, especially when you’re in Rob Thurman’s Reaver Army. Our own Caliban Leandros is half-monster – every damn day of his ass-kicking life, surrounded by vampires and werewolves and mummified cats, giant spiders and killer clowns and every other creature The Beyond can hurl his and his brother’s way. Then we’ve got Misha Korsak – a mutant assassin with an insatiable sweet tooth. Add to that, all of the angels and demons and gods and goddesses in disguise with Trickster. I’d say when it comes to being a Rob Thurman fan, every day is Halloween. Or at least, darkly fun like Halloween. So. Speaking of sweet teeth…right now, you’re either...

Hell-Oh, Reavers! All right, the All Hallow’s Dead Contest just got easier for Halloween Day. Simply say “Trick-or-Treat” or “Boo!” here in the blog comments on Monday, 10/31 and you will be entered into the prize drawing. If you still want to talk about your favorite horror movies, Halloween foods and traditions, by all means, please continue at Friday’s entry. But today, you can simply stop by as a trick-or-treater here at the blog to be entered into the drawing. Hope you’ve had a great All Hallow’s Weekend and may the party continue… Season’s Screamings!

It just would not be right to watch Halloween go by without a contest here at RobThurman.net. And although having a “Dress as Your Favorite Rob Thurman Character” costume contest would be fun, that’s a lot of work! So let’s just chillax and have some laid-back fun with this one. Beginning today, all you need to do is comment on this blog post or tweet with a #RobThurman hash tag or comment on Rob’s Facebook page with an answer to any of the following questions: What are your Halloween plans this year? Are you dressing up for Halloween, and if yes, what are you going to...
