Updates in the Rain

It’s so MURKY out! The warmer temperatures have melted all of the snow and now, combined with the deluge of rain that’s been falling since last night, I need to paddle my way to my car.

Just a quick update: I’ve secured a copy-editor for Librarian, which means in a month’s time I should have a much smoother copy for people to read, and (not without some nudging from my peers), I’ve thrown myself headfirst into the world of book two, Apprentice.

My Valentine’s Day will likely be spent untangling the mess of Lenna’s life.  I hope everyone else gets to spend it with their loved ones!

  1. Hello,

    I stumbled upon your blog while search for pictures with that corresponded to the word free-wheeler. Are you a brony? I wouldn’t have thought so, but I learned about the phenomenon last year so now I wonder about these things once in a blue moon. Have you read P.G. Wodehouse? If not then start by reading Jonathan Ames’ Wake Up Sir! Do you write about what happens to you or what you imagine…and do you think it matters?

    1. Hi Aimee! Yeah, I guess I am a bit of a brony. Drawing ponies can be very therapeutic, you know.

      I’m familiar with PG Wodehouse from my undergrad years, but can’t recall what I read. I’ll definitely take a peek around your suggestions next time I’m at the library! 😀

      And as far as what I write, I do a bit of both, I reckon. I think it’s hard for an author NOT to put tidbits of his real life in his work. My short story — “Lots of Fhet” — is an allegory, but based around my real experiences.

      Thanks for commenting! x

  2. I am one of the few people that had the pleasure of reading the Liberian and as I got into the book I did want to put it down. It is a very enjoyable experience and I highly reccommend it.

    1. Thanks for the encouragement, Dad! I’m not sure why it didn’t work on your Kindle Fire — it worked for me on my Kindle and iPhone!

      And as for not wanting to put the book down, I’m glad you enjoyed it, though it’s not like you’d have a choice. 😉 Haha.
