Today's read

The Edge Chronicles book 1, Beyond The DEEPWOODS

by Paul Stewart and Chris Riddell. 


607437

I haven't gotten too far into this, but I think I'm going to love it. The description, the lands, the stories. Just the first Chapter alone is enough to draw you far enough into their world that you don't want to come out for days.

When I read books I read them in little bursts. I can't help it. Some books I read from beginning to end in a day or so, while others I will read a few chapters and step away, only to come back a few days later to read a bit more. It just depends upon the books.

Are you the same way? What books can you remember that you started and stepped away from and why?

Tess Gerritsen books are the perfect example of this for me! I can only read a few chapters and then it's a bit much. I have to step away and process what happened in her books.

But so far, the Edge Chronicles book 1 I feel that I will mostly post this blog and then dive back into the world around Twig. I just wanted to jump on and prove that I was still l alive to all those wondering. :)

Happy Reading everyone.

Middle Grade Writing projects

I suddenly find myself writing stories aimed more for Middle Grade compared to my normal New Adult and Young Adult works. I don't know what exactly happened. One day I was writing vampire tales, the next i had writers block, and now I have a short Middle Grade done and I'm working on the next. This is the oddest turn of events.

A fresh story sometimes is what the doctor calls for.

The first Middle Grade story I wrote and have set off to the side until I can figure out what to do with it is, 'The Adventures of Kyle and Jordan' book one, My Neighbor's a Vampire. And yes, I said book one. :) I can easily see this as being a series and have already written out a couple of different plot ideas for the next books. If I go anywhere with those I'll let you know.

My next work is the Series Clover Honeysweet, following a girl, turned business owner, turned ghost after drinking tea made by her business partner, Voodoo Mama. It's a funny and charming story with a cast of characters that will keep you coming back for more. My favorite character so far is the werewolf boy Izzy who has to wear a hair net. Yes, the cast are young and going through some very serious matters, such as loan sharks, spirit police, rabbit slime pest control, and much more as they try and keep the Sweet shop up and running.

Two very different stories with characters I adore. I wonder what they will do by the end of today. ...Most likely they will get in trouble and give me a heart attack, but you gotta love them.
