Health, Reading, Etc.--Or, Something Called "Life"...

Happy Friday Everybody,


I apologize for the lack of posts for Wednesday and Thursday. I still have to sit down and brainstorm blog ideas. Last week and this week family members have been sick and I'm fighting allergy/health issues of my own (nothing serious, just annoyances).

I'm working on finishing an ARC for an official blog book review in March (I have THREE for March. I've finished 2 of the ARCs and this is the last one). Then I have another official blog book review to schedule in April and I have to read that book, too.


These are some good stories that are coming out, folks! I'm excited to talk about them, but it has meant that I've been very busy, too (if not for an official blog review, but to look up when something is coming out so I can be sure to read it when it's released).


I'm also in the process of brainstorming for a WIP (Work In Progress). The manuscript is started, just have some ideas to play around with--plus some other things working in the back of my mind.


Pandemonium, Lauren Oliver's sequel to Delirium comes out on February 28, 2012 (not next Tuesday, but the following). Delirium was a truly unique novel (you can read about my impression of the novel here).  I interviewed author Lauren Oliver in November of 2011Pandemonium looks like it's going to good!


What's going on in your world?


Have A Fantastic Friday!

First, Congrats,Bethany! Great news on your ARC's and all the work you've done!
My computer went to bed a week ago Wednesday seeming fine,but t would not wake up on Thursday.My compter-guy calls himself the PC Doc and apparently, he needed to do a Windows transplant.The man is handling fund-raisers for a familyfriend who is in a coma and had sick family members, so I did not get it back for a week,then, it needed adjustments , so I just got it really running welll this afternoon; I feel like I have been cut off from all civilization!
I have had all the grandkids a lot while my oldest son is training out of town and my other son's boy has been here with a bad case of strep.There is a particularly nasty strain going around, according to his doctor.His staff ordinarily does not catch strep , but 3 are down and a medical student that was with them last week is in the hospital with it.
I hope the rest of us avoid it and that you and yours get and stay well.

Tonette,

Hope your computer works better now!

Best wishes on everything.

Thank you for dropping by :-)

Spotlight On Author: Kerrelyn Sparks

Happy Friday Everybody, THE CONTEST PORTION OF THIS AUTHOR INTERVIEW IS NOW OFFICIALLY CLOSED. Finally! I get to post the interview with Kerrelyn Sparks . I was planning to last Friday, but unfortunately my computer had issues.

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...
