What's Up Wednesdays #005.

[misslj_author]

So I know the 'official' What's Up Wednesday is over with now, but it's a good idea and so I'm going to try to keep doing it here on my LJ. How frequently I do this remains to be seen, though!



WHAT I'M READING.

I've just finished Throne of the Crescent Moon by Saladin Ahmed and it was fantastic. A great fantasty novel, with the ending open enough for a sequel yet closed enough that it's not necessary. I like books like that. I'm hoping to start J. R. Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood series soon.

WHAT I'M WRITING (+ A WRITING GOAL).

Still at work on Book, Line and Sinker and I'm hoping to get that finished really soon.

WHAT WORKS FOR ME.

Sleep. Quiet. The sound of rain on the roof. The internet not being down, because it's hard to research something when your ISP suddenly drops out. My cat cuddling up beside me.

WHAT ELSE IS NEW.

I've started new medication to treat my epilepsy. The side effects are annoying and I still feel like my brain is full of cotton wool, so that's bugging me a bit. I hope that this will all settle down soon, as I am not enjoying the adjustment period at all. My brother has moved down here and is all settled in and happy, our niece's wedding went off without a hitch and winter is here, so it's very cold! I have a book out at the end of June, cowritten with Cate Ashwood, called Brick by Brick.

I have a new release out today! A Fire in the Heart, book eight of The Archangel Chronicles is out now!





L-R: 1. Cas slumbering away. 2. Medieval colouring book and pencils! 3. Wedding cake made by my niece for her wedding. She's so talented. 4. Readers reading my books! 5. My brother and myself.

You will have to tell me if J R Ward is any good. I keep seeing their books at the library and wondering...

I'm only a little way into book one, but I am enjoying it. The names of the members of the Brotherhood, though, make me LOL (eg Wrath, Vishyous, etc), but the plot is pretty solid and the erotica is nicely erotic. I can pass them onto you as I finish them if you want. I like to "pay it forward" with books I know I won't reread, and while I like these, so far, I know I won't reread them, much as I loved The Hunger Games trilogy, but knew I wouldn't read them again.
