Book Reporting: "Darklight" by Lesley Livingston

Happy Thursday All,

As promised, I'm going to tell you about Darklight by Lesley Livingston, since I finished that Wednesday night.

Okay, at the beginning I was wondering if it was gonna grip me the way Wondrous Strange did, but I needn't have worried. It most definitely gripped me. Firmly.

Once again, Lesley has made a page turner.

Absolutely excellent. Loved it!

Unfortunately, the 3rd book, Tempestuous doesn't come out until December.

I shall have to sit and wonder what will happen to Kelley and Sonny for about 5 more months. It's unfortunate, but those are the breaks of waiting for books to be released.

If you haven't read Wondrous Strange I recommend it and then I recommend reading this one.

Great storytelling, gripping action, sweet romance, magic (well, magick as its spelled in the books), faeries, battles, destruction, gains and losses. Both books have them all!

Oh yeah, and I like the character, Gentleman Jack--he's cool! I haven't decided who my favorite Faerie ruler is. They all seem conniving to me. But, I think I like Gwynn ap Nudd best at the moment. So far he seems the less scheming of the lot.

Aside from Sonny, in the Janus Guard I like Maddox and the Wolf. I've decided the Ogre is cool, too.

And Bob rocks--whatever name he's under ;-)

Enjoy!

Have A Thrilling Thursday!

It's Worth A Fortune

Happy Tuesday Everyone, Does anyone remember the song If I Had A Million Dollars by Barenaked Ladies ? I can't remember when or how I was first introduced to this song, but it's a fun song. So, how about if you had a million dollars? What would you do with it? Of course there's the responsible things to do with a million dollars--pay off debts, and such like that. Then there's the question of whether or not you give to charities, and how much. But, suppose you answered all those questions and you still had quite a lot left; what would you do with it? Maybe I'd go to Disney World. I've wanted to go, and I've never been able to. Or, perhaps I'd go to Germany and England, and Belgium (three of the countries my ancestors are from). Travel around seeing family and friends I don't see often. There's all kinds of possibilities. So, what about you? What would you do with a million dollars? Have A Tremendous Tuesday!

Spotlight On Author: Loretta Wheeler

Happy Tuesday Everyone, There's a gem of an author I've had the privilege of coming across...I'm talking about my friend, Loretta Wheeler. She's a sweetheart and very talented author. I enjoyed her YA Paranormal novella, The Pan Man immensely. And, she also writes Romance. So without further ado, come into my parlor and meet Loretta Wheeler: Me:  In your YA novelette, The Pan Man , you mention Pan's looking for his long lost soul mate. What made you choose Pan out of all the Greek/Roman gods and goddesses? Loretta:  I chose the Greek god Pan, because of the connection with the music. I found later on in the story, (my stories take over and write themselves usually) it applied even more than I realized because of the band's name. I won't mention the name of the band in here, because it's part of the surprise ending. Me:  You're mostly known for your Romance stories. How would you describe your writing style? Hot, suspenseful, sensual, sw...

Myths About Writers

Afternoon Folks, I thought we'd do a post to dispel some of the myths people seem to have about writers. I'll put the ones that first come to mind then y'all can chime in. Myth: Writing is a great way to make a lot of money. I'm not sure exactly how this one matriculated. Probably in the wake of some of the big best sellers (i.e. Stephen King, Anne Rice, Stephenie Meyer, JK Rowling, and the like) but most of the time writers put in more money for their writing than they do get out of it. Generally a writer doesn't make a ton of money unless somehow his/her book is a blockbuster hit and blasts through what the author owes in the advance (which is paid back to publishers through royalties). Most writers I've met and talked to are not millionaires. I'm not saying it can't happen, I'm saying it's not one of those things that's automatic. Myth: Writing Is Easy Anybody Can Do It. Okay, granted this isn't entirely a myth, but it's not ent...
