We begin by addressing the popular notion that writing short stories is a good way to practice for writing novels, and selling short stories is a way to break in...

is on page 168 of 304 of Shades of Milk and Honey: I am FLYING through this book, and cannot decide if I like Mr. Dunkirk or Mr. Vincent best. I love that nobody's actually a "bad guy", they just all seem to be people doing their best. Mr. Ellsworth seems to have something up his sleeve, though...

My Life as a White Trash Zombie (White Trash Zombie, #1)

I never thought I'd be rooting for a zombie, and yet, I was totally in love with Angel. Diana Rowland is really good at first person narrative. She's created a fairly intimate story about someone getting their act together, while weaving in a mystery...more |

| Creepy as all get out. I listened to this on a drive from Chicago to Michigan and back and it creates a strong evocative mood of Evil. Garth Nix and Sean Williams also handle having two POV characters without at any point creating confusion about who...more | |

| As always Guy Gavriel Kay creates a wonderfully nuanced and textured world. He's dealing with some interesting thematic elements, about the creation of legends, and you can see that in the narrative style of the book. It's a good follow-up for Under...more | |

Husband and wife glamourists Jane and Vincent become embroiled in a violent class struggle in London during a year of unseasonably cold weather. Complicating matters further is Jane’s younger sister, Melody, who tags along due to the lack of suita...

This was my favourite so far in the Glamourist Histories, which just get better and better. True, I had to put it down for a day after it decided late in the game to bring in my least favourite plot ever (falsely-accused-must-prove-innocence) but...

Meredith Mansfield's review of Without a Summer (Glamourist Histories, #3):
"
I read this in three days. I never do that. I like to savor a book, but sometimes one just pulls me onward. This was one of those.
Jane and Vincent's relationship just continues to grow through adversity--and they have some adversity to face in th... " Read more of this review » |

“One must not put trust in novelists, Beth; they create worlds to fit their own needs and drive their characters mad in doing it.”

“There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is nor how valuable nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep yourself open and aware to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open. ... No artist is pleased. [There is] no satisfaction whatever at any time. There is only a queer divine dissatisfaction, a blessed unrest that keeps us marching and makes us more alive than the others”
