my journey as a civil war novel writer

Settling down a bit and making time to write about books! I did read some in April, some good some not so good. Falling i n the not so good category. Kiss of a demon king - Kresley Cole. I don't know what it is is with this writer, the series is so uneven. Some of them I really enjoyed, about half of them. Those have a good story and interresting characters. But this one fal ls into the category of hardly any story and way to o much sex scenes. I like the romance with an occasional sex scenes [only a few writers are exceptions here like laurel hamilton] for the rest my imagination can do that trick itself, thank you very much. There was hardly any story in this one and it was pretty boring. Not sure I will go for the next one. Then I start in men of the otherworld, by Kelley Armstrong. Now I love her otherworld series, especially if the books are about the werewolves or Paige and Lucas. This one tells the backstory of Jeremy and Clayton. Now so far, half way through, no woman has ...

I have to apologise to my readers but posting will be sporadic for now. I have so many other things to do, think about, prepare and write having to do with the practice that this has to take a backseat. Last week I noticed that I was getting stressed again with all the things I had to do. Of course the only one making me do them was ME. So ME is the only one who can stop it and will!!! Don't worry about me, things are going well. Only like usual my brain is a little bit ahead of the rest of my body. My first client went very well last week and I enjoyed it. It also filled me with other ideas for my practice that I would like to work on. But I had a few bad days regarding pain and wisely stayed away from the computer as much as possible for a while. Bummer, the ban on painkillers is for headaches but it means I can't take them for the muscleaches either. I finished my favorite all time book again last night. Sharon Penman's Sunne in Splendour about Richard III. That books mo...

Yesterday I was too busy to blog. Nina was visiting again. I really love that little dog and I can spend hours playing with her and petting her, but I was exhausted after a day. :) Devil's brood arrived yesterday!!!!! A new Sharon Penman book is always cause for celebration! And I know I am going to enjoy it. This one is the third bo ok in the story of Henry II and Eleanor. It is such a great story, Eleanor was such a strong woman, married first to the king of france and then to the man who would become king of England. Outliving both her husband and nearly all her children. That must have been hard! And I love the setting that these novels take place. Chinon and Fontevrault in France. I was lucky enough to visit there a few years ago. Chinon is a ruin but we spend nearly a day there taking it in. And the abbey? One of the most beautifull things I ever saw. Like I said these books are special to me. I think I read Here be dragons first. I picked that up in I think 1987. And read...
