News and a cool book-buying blog
I was going to blog today on how to define and develop a story arc in your novel. But today is absolutely nuts here at my day job office, so I'll tackle that topic tomorrow.
For today, some news. I've just posted it on my NEWS page, but on Monday, December 22, the first three chapters of The Trouble with Demons will be up for your holiday reading enjoyment. As my long-time blog readers know, I love nothing more than to thank you all for your support and encouragement by posting the first three chapters of my next book as a holiday gift. I hope you all enjoy it.
And according to UPS, today they'll be delivering my last box of books that I bought as Christmas gifts for my family. Yea! (I ended up placing three orders.) And of course, I tossed a couple of books in the basket for myself. : )
Over at Galleycat.com (a fabulous publishing industry news site), I found a link to the perfect blog for buying books for gifts. It's appropriately called Buying Books for the Holidays. It features guest blogs from authors on what books they would like, top books for writers, top books for foodies, recommendations for audio books, spotlights on indie bookshops, and more. This is great stuff, folks. If you want to buy books as gifts but need some recommendations or help, this is the place to go.

Yay! Thats fab cos last night I read A&M from cover to cover (minus 1 chapter which i'd read previously).
I loved it. I've got an icky virus thing and feeling rubbish. Smiled and laughed so much last night it helped take my mind off things. Really like PIeras. Not liking Tam that *prepares self for battle*. Love Mychael. Lots of twists in there. It feels like Raine will never be rid of 'the rock'. Clever tricks in there. I guessed Pieras had got a place with his teacher without an audition. Loved Mychael's timing in the library.
Concept of being stuck on a ceiling was cool (in a library).
Oh one more thing...who came up with the idea for italicising every first line in a chapter/new segment?
When I'm not ill, I like it. At the moment, part of me thinks its really cool, the other part doesn't like it (more used to Italics with telepathy/thoughts etc).
It must be a book design thing. The book I'm reading now uses all capital letters for the first lines of chapters. It looks mucho funky.
