Absolutely priceless MLTF review
Update on The Trouble With Demons: I finished Chapter 19 late yesterday, and the goal is to do 20 and 21 this week. In reaching Chapter 20, I'm officially 2/3 of the way through the first draft. There's light at the end of the tunnel -- let's hope it's not an oncoming train. I do not have time for a trainwreck.
I know I said that I was going to blog on writing books that most inspired me, but I read a review of Magic Lost, Trouble Found yesterday that is absolutely priceless. You all have to go read it. It starts with the most hilarious trashing of my cover that I've ever read. I laughed out loud and I LOVED IT! ; ) I've found when it comes to MLTF's cover that people either adore it or dispise it with an unholy passion. ; ) I just love hearing everyone's opinion.
The rest of Felicia's review is precisely the reaction I hope readers will have when they read MLTF. She LOVED the book, and she says why.
I emailed her to say how much I enjoyed her review, and hopefully I'll hear back from her.
Her name is Felicia Day, she's an actress ("Vi" on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, among many other roles), and here's the link to her blog.

Scroll down past the Obama blog to her January book reviews, read, and enjoy. There's also a great review of Joe Abercrombie's The Blade Itself (it's in my TBR stack).
And here's Felicia's page on IMDb (The Internet Movie Database). Check out her photos -- I think she'd make a great Raine. ; ) In addition to the red hair, she even has gray eyes.
Tomorrow I promise I'll blog on my fav and most inspirational writing books.
Try to have yourselves a great Monday!

That was a funny review. I'm one of those who thinks the cover art is purrrrfect! There's so much aweful cover art out there right now.
I absolutely loved it. And it is so funny how people either love the cover or hate it -- there is no middle ground.
And I agree, there is some truly crappy cover art out there. But as with all "art" it's in the eye of the beholder. ; )
Wow, this is cool. Minus the cover comments. I love the cover.
It's very catchy, and I love the background colours. When I was reading it, I kept looking at the background. I'd notice something different every time.
Anyway, that's just me. :)
We've exchanged a couple of emails and Felicia Day is very cool. I like her.
I like my covers too, but MLTF is a wee bit too pink. It's not obvious with just one book, but when I see a stack at a book signing, they do tend to glow. ; ) Though glows are attention-getting.
Well, whether readers love it or hate it -- at least they notice it. ; D That's the important thing.
