I found it!
As I discussed yesterday, I’m a HUGE Kim Harrison/Hollows fan. She writes some of the best urban fantasy out there.
As for the books themselves, I have always hoped in my heart of hearts that Rachel and Trent would end up together. But I haven’t yet read A PERFECT BLOOD, so no comment spoilers!
However . . . Ahem . . . I did find the faux wedding invitation that I created, as a PDF, in August 2006 (!!) for Rachel and Trent. Check out this little lovely.
You. Guys. I picked out a font. And colors. And a border! What?!
Ah, the joys of geeky fangirlishness.
If I remember the timeline correctly, I created the invite either right before I started writing SOME GIRLS BITE, or perhaps right before I started editing it. I can’t recall exactly. In any event, I did it, and what’s done is done. Might as well share the geeklove with y’all.
What’s the geekiest thing you’ve ever done as a fangirl/fanboy for your favorite series?

Dear Chloe:
I know you love Kim Harrison.
I know you finally had a chance to finish PALE DEMON, and that copy of A PERFECT BLOOD is staring at you from the kitchen counter.
I know you once created a faux wedding invitation for Rachel and one Trenton Aloycious Kalamack, because you’ve always hoped they’d end up together.
But you have a Chicagoland Vampires novel to write, and a deadline that is quickly approaching.
Please to finish HOUSE RULES before reading A PERFECT BLOOD.
xoxo
Chloe
