Reading

At the moment I'm reading the third book in the Winds of the Forelands series by David B Coe. I'm not sure what I think of it. It is bugging the hell out of me in a lot of ways. It's all so confusing for one thing. There are too many characters that are very similar to other characters and too many places that are similar to other places. I'm having trouble keeping everything straight in my head.

But apparently is isn't bugging me enough to get me to stop-- I am up to book three, after all.

Perhaps that has something to do with the fact that I met David at Conjure in 2006. He was a nice guy and had lots of interesting stuff to say.


Haven't written anything extra today-- get to it soon.

The New Novel

Last post I said I would be starting a new novel soon. I did start it. And yesterday I started the same novel again.

I did have about 8k words but wasn't all that happy with most of them. They weren't terrible or anything, I suppose, just not the ones I wanted. So, as I said, I started again.

The novel is to be called The Subtle Chains. Amd it is to be the first book of a three book series called Warriors of Myth and Legend. Subtle chains will be a fairly standard quest fantasy with a small group sent to complete a few tasks by their god. After that it gets a bit more complicated. Doesn't it always. And, of course, when i say fairly standard I obviously mean compared to my previous stuff. For those of you who haven't read my previous stuff (there are billions of you out there) I do fantasy/si-fi cross over stuff.

So anyway, I have about 800 words at the moment and I think they are pretty good. And I think they are in a pretty good order as well.

Shall see, I guess.

More soon.
