Hodgepodge
My weekly post is up at The Midnight Hour. It’s about those images and thematic elements that sneak into a writer’s work, and the importance of looking at them hard enough to use them consciously. Oh, and clowns.
Fantasy Book Critic has a Best of 2007/Looking Forward to 2008 post up, where authors talk about the best books they read in 2007 and the books they’re looking forward to in 2008. Authors as diverse as R.A. Salvatore and Karen Miller, not to mention Modesitt and Resnick, have participated. Not to mention Yours Truly.
My Orbit editor has recommended I read Joe Abercrombie’s The Blade Itself, and there is (drums please) a NEW PEREZ-REVERTE BOOK OUT! The Painter of Battles was just released, and I’ve snapped up my copy. We all know what a big, huge, tremenjous Perez-Reverte fan I am.
On a different note, I’m getting a lot of email from peeps who need the fifth Valentine book in ebook form. I haven’t been able to find it. If anyone has, can you drop a comment or drop me an email so I can link to it? It’s my understanding that ebooks take a month or so after the paper release, but I could be wrong.
Happy weekend, dear Reader. I suspect I’ll be deep in the wilds of Tristan’s book later today, and may even have something new to add to it…
