I received a tip from an anonymous commenter that my Laurel K. Hamilton blog was burning up the intertubes over at an amazon.com forum, so I stopped in to check it out. Somewhere in the discussion, famous author feuds were mentioned. Including Mark Twain and James Fenimore Cooper. To which an astute commenter mentioned that I am, in fact, no Mark Twain.<\/p>\n

You won’t hear any argument here. Mark Twain is probably the greatest American author of all time (okay, third greatest, after Herman Melville and Nora Roberts). But I am pretty sure I can take Mark Twain in a fight. You know, if the alien race he returned to upon his “death” when he hitched a ride on Haley’s Comet hasn’t created some devastating combat technology or done away with violence all together. But let’s see what happens if we put me up against Mark Twain in a Battle Royale.<\/p>\n

Now, if you’re unfamiliar with how these little throw-downs go on my blog, you can check out Jen vs. The Hoff<\/A> and Daleks vs. The Borg<\/A>. That should make the rules pretty clear.<\/p>\n

Dust off your old timey mustache, Twain, it’s show time.<\/p>\n
