Catching Up
So, I’ve been revising. If this book sells some day, I will write a big post on this revision, because it’s been a doozy. But right now all my energy is going into the revision, and I’ve none left to spare for talking about it.
Instead, I offer five things:
1) If you are looking for book with fabulous worldbuilding, intrigue, philosophy, engaging, multi-faceted characters and DRAGONS then I highly recommend you get your hands on SERAPHINA, a debut YA fantasy by Rachel Hartman, which just released yesterday. It’s one of my favorite books of the year and I was lucky enough to get Rachel to agree to an interview over at The Enchanted Inkpot. She shares thoughts on asking hard questions, diverse characters, music, and how Lois McMaster Bujold’s wonderful THE CURSE OF CHALION inspired her. Check it out!
2) This fascinating comparison of the different Princess Merida dolls (from the movie BRAVE, which I enjoyed very much, though I also really appreciated what author Jenn Reese had to say about it here on her blog).
3) I just discovered that the fabulously cinematic music of Two Steps from Hell is finally available (legally!) online. I’ve been listening to several of the tracks from Invincible as I revise. Especially for epic battle scenes!
4) My Modern Met continues to be one of my favorite sites. Two recent posts with photos I can’t stop staring at are Magical Photos of the Mysterious Woods and Blurring the Lines Between Animals and Mankind.
5) And last but not least, lovely Youth Services librarian Jessica at I Read to Relax kindly interviewed me about CIRCUS GALACTICUS and more! Thank you Jessica!
See you on the other side of this revision! I hope!
