Trivia: when I said I was watching old episodes of the Dresden Files instead of reading. Am in the process of pruning my overgrown bookshelves and took books to be traded. Then, I discovered the Castle spin-off novel, Heat Wave. Took a vacation yesterday and read it. (One of the benefits of having no kids at home and being retired.)
The book, itself, is well written. Good plot, well-rounded characters, if somewhat superficial. To me it felt more like a well-done TV episode ... which may be a clue to who ghostwrote the book. I know there's a discussion at the Absolute Write Water Cooler about who wrote it. Think I'll be following the thread to see if anyone discovers something.
Oh. ... Gave up on the Dresden episode last night. I just couldn't take the way the characters were being bended to fit into production guidelines. Re-watched Pride and Prejudice instead.
Progress: Said I took a vacation. Still, got my chapters out to my critiquing partners though. (One had to remind me I hadn't sent it yet.)
Emma: ? I'm trying to see if I can get her to hug her grandmother in the final chapter. Don't think it'll go with the flow.
M. K. Theodoratus, Fantasy Writer, blogs about the books she reads--mostly fantasy and mystery authors whose books catch her eye and keep her interest. Nothing so formal as a book review, just chats about what she liked. Theodoratus also mutters about her own writing progress or ... lack of it.

Hi, Welcome to My Blog:
Hope you're having fun.
One of my favorite forms of fun is shooting off my mouth. Most of the time I write fantasy, both light and dark. This blog is part of both.

More than one reviewer has said I write heart-warming dark fantasy. Yeah, I'm different. So I guess my fantasies are different.
The part of a review that I like best calls me: "one of the most inventive minds in fantasy".
