What I'm reading now & cool news

First the really cool news -- Magic Lost, Trouble Found is about to go back on the presses for a third printing! *huge happy grin* Thank you all for buying my books -- you're awesome!

What I'm reading now: As many writers can attest, when you've been writing fantasy (or whatever genre you write in) non-stop for nearly a year, the last thing you want to pick up for your post-book fun reading is more fantasy. Don't get me wrong, I adore fantasy or I wouldn't be writing it, but when I finish writing one, I want to read something else. For me, that something else is usually a mystery, thriller, or crime caper. Kind of like cleansing the literary palette, and giving my muse something different to play with.

Last week I re-read Donald Westlake's Put a Lid On It -- a fun, smart, quick-paced, snappy dialogue crime caper. I love this author's books.

I'm finishing Jayne Ann Krentz's Sizzle and Burn. I've never read one of her books before, and I really like her writing style. This is a romantic paranormal and the third book in her Arcane Society series. I love a good series, it'll keep me in reading material for a while. ; )

I'm about to start Steve Berry's The Venetian Betrayal. Likewise, I'm a first-time reader of his, the story sounds great and I really hope I'm gonna like it.

I'm always open to suggestions of books to read. Let me know some of your favorites.

Coming up: Stop back by tomorrow for the Saturday Fun Pic, and next week I'll talk about doing rewrites, do I have enough backstory for prequels?, and more.

Happy Friday!
