The inadvertent double!
Okay, so there's this:
A while ago Mrs Cat bumped a glass of red wine over onto my laptop and there it went, all functionality. My fault, should never have had the glass nearby! Anyway, long story short, the ease of access keyboard on screen drove me insane (this isn't a touch screen laptop) whle I waited for a new keyboard to arrive. It did, and everything works again ... except ...
... periodically when I press a key I end wiith double the result -- yeah, see, it happened for 'with' right here! I don't always realise it's happened and click publish, only to come back later and slap hands over my face, mortified. So, head's up; when you see the inadvertent double, just grin and accept it! Chances are I'll correct it on the next pass!!!

Review: FIRE by Aiki Flinthart
FIRE by Aiki FlinthartMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
This, the second book in the Kalima series, completely delivers on the promise of more to come at the end of IRON. When Alere’s twin (and Rohne) is kidnapped by slavers, the chase is on to rescue them. But so much awaits the team (Alere, Kett, Corin and Gavon) when they arrive in the slaver’s domain, even a gladiator type event (which I read with bated breath, fingers crossed).
I love this world where language is mixed, where technology has surrendered to older ways (but hasn’t been forgotten) and where the most interesting Houses of both trades and talents play a huge role. The fighting styles are amazing too! Add to that strange creatures in both water and air, and on land, and every step is an adventure in discovery.
FIRE is definitely about fire; the fire of the chase, the fire of emotions and the fire of standing up against terrible authority. Well worth reading, but do read IRON first, not because you won’t ‘get’ what happens here – because this is an excellent series and you simply must read all of it!
