Still.... :)

He's probably holding out on us by privately indulging his Mary Sue needs and stashing them where publishers would never go.

The biggest tip-off that Anita Blake was a Mary Sue was the fact that Anita looks like an idealized version of the author: Tiny, very pale, dark curly/frizzy hair, dark eyes. Then there's the "can do no wrong" feature, every character who tells Anita she's out of line gets killed off or beaten down. And let's not forget the whole thing with her ex-husband/Richard and her then-boyfriend-now-husband/Jean-Claude.
Bah. It's nauseating.

Wait? They is married?!
Umm....crap, I have NOT been keeping up.

Yeah.... just remember, no personal comments about the author.
I personally, get sick of the whole 'Anita can do no wrong and every man wants to nail her' crap.

I was fine with that when she was pretending to be a good little catholic girl, but when the sex scenes lasted chapters and I had to call a friend and say "Do they ever get out of bed and back to the plot?" the honeymoon was over.
