Updates, announcements, and other stuff
What I'm reading this week:
I've gotten some really in-depth and personal questions for Mychael -- and some of them are just downright juicy. I can't wait to hear what he has to say on Saturday. But don't let that stop you from sending yours in. You have until tomorrow.
I'd hoped to be able to post the cover and back cover promo copy for Armed & Magical today, but a few more folks up in New York need to put their stamp of approval on it first. So I'll have to wait just a little longer -- but I can tell you that the copy department at Penguin Group did their usual awesome job. I can't wait to share those.
And as to the cover for Armed & Magical -- it's official. The cover artist once again will be the fabulously talented Aleta Rafton. I can't wait to see what she does this time. Whenever I open that PDF, I feel like a kid on Christmas morning.

- The Bible: This week I finally made it into the New Testament. Yea! The Bible is in continuous rotation on my reading list. I finish it, then I turn right back around and start at the beginning again.
- Moonshine by Rob Thurman: I'm about 30 pages from the end and will finish that this week. It's a new series by a fresh, exciting, and supremely snarky voice in fantasy. Nightlife was the first book, Moonshine the second, and Madhouse will be out in the spring of 2008. A link to Robyn's site is in the list to the right.
- Bitterwood by James Maxey: I did the signing/reading/discussion at B&N with him on Tuesday night. Great guy, wonderful book. See his link to the right for more information.

Will we get a sneak previous of the cover art on your blog?
I never actually read the Bible all the way through, so a few weeks ago I got a hefty study Bible (Life Application) and I actually started with the New Testament. Congrats on your multiple readings!
Laurie, as soon as I get the green light from my publisher, it will IMMEDIATELY go up here. I'll be shouting from the rooftops, "Come look at my fabu cover!"
Tia, I started reading the Bible daily (or trying to read it every day) for the past couple of years. It's a wonderful way to put the chaos of daily life in perspective. And when I became a deacon in my church, that was one of the things I felt led to do. : )
Which particular translation/edition? [There are lots of various differences, included what get included/excluded, what goes where, "murder" verus "kill", etc.]
I favor the NIV (New International Version).
I keep trying to reread the New Testament, but I always end up back in the Old; I just love the poetry in the King James version. My family's not so fond of it, especially when I get overwrought and start reading aloud at them--"How amiable art thy tabernacles, O Lord!"
And the animal descriptions in Job, mm, yummy.
