both tagged me in the Writing Process Blog Hop!
1) What am I working on?
A Dark YA Fantasy set in near future Bar Harbor, Maine. Or maybe it’s Paranormal…yeah, it doesn’t matter.
2) How does my work differ from others of its genre?
Because my work has me, that’s why. Lol! Basically, I call myself a hybrid writer. I like to take something normal and wax it paranormal. You know, throw a little blonde girl into a ring with the spawn of a union between the Lochness Monster and Frankenstein. Then I sit back and watch what kind of abilities she sprouts or what kind of genius she comes up with to save her butt and take the monster down. ^_^ It’s like taking Mary Lennox from A Secret Garden or Sara Crewe from A Little Princess, aging…

Marc Royston is one of the three writers who agreed to carry on the Writer’s Process Blog Tour I took part in last week.

Q: What are you working on?
A: I am in the rewrite and editing stage of the first four volumes of Part One (The Flame Ignites) of my serialized novel, A Wizard’s Life.
A Wizard’s Life is an adult, epic fantasy intended for those readers who grew up on J.R.R. Tolkien and J.K. Rowling and Robert Jordan but who now seek fantasy with adult themes and content. The series is the autobiographical account of a master wizard, Götling Hans Velsing, beginning with his discovery of his talents and extending through his apprenticeship. In the midst of a global war against an army of undead and the threat of the return of an ancient evil, young Götling becomes the last hope of the Empire. As the Inquisition takes over his home after he is accused of being a witch, Götling must also deal with the consequences to a…

Reviews to Start the Week
My blog tour with Historical Fiction Virtual Book Tours is winding down, and I have two more reviews to post. There should be one more to come, but the blogger was delayed by illness, so I’m not sure when it will post. Given my own recent history, I certainly how important it is to get one’s strength back!
You can read a review at Let Them Read Books here.
You can read a review at The True Book Addict here.
Many thanks to Amy Bruno for her hard work organizing this tour.

Review: The Ambitious Madame Bonaparte by Ruth Hull Chatlien
Another review today at The Lit Bitch.
Originally posted on The Lit Bitch:
If you have managed to make it through fifth grade world history, you probably have heard the name Bonaparte at least once.
Most of us associate the Bonaparte name with the infamously small emperor with a big name: Napoleon Bonaparte.
But what of Napoleon’s younger brother? Is his a name one you can recall with certainty? Unlikely.
Jerome Bonaparte was supposed to make a diplomatic marriage according to Napoleon.
But when the ambitious Elizabeth “Betsy ” Patterson puts her mind to something, little can dissuade her.
Betsy was a prominent member of Baltimore society with ambitions and designs of her own. She dreamed that she would marry a man who would whisk her away to Europe and low an behold, Jerome Bonaparte is that man!
