These days Hamilton does not write romance. She writes porn. There's a
major difference: romance has a plot. Her latest nearly got this year's
Green Slime Award at Bubonicon, but lost to a book touted as a YA

all done in a romance-novel voice. (Speaking of squick!) Only that could
have saved her the slime.
