Alisa wrote: "Those are the best days ever!!"Agreed!! and its the first time i'v had the chance to just chill out and read all day in forever, i'v been smashed by assessment l8ly, so it was a nice much needed break. ^_^
I finished my re-read of the Descendant series by Jenna Black and I finished
. Street Magic had a creepy, gritty atmosphere but I couldn't get attached to any of the characters. I'm a fourth of the way through
. It has a nice slow build but it doesn't cause the pacing of the book to drag.

:) Sounds like heresy to me. But they're both pretty darned good.

Sounds like heaven. I can't remember the last time I had a day like that. Awesome.
I just finished
It was pretty good. It was obviously the first book by an indie author. There were some editing issues and some plot gaps. I read this because I had read a book later in the series. I was ok with this book because I had already met the characters and wanted to hear there stories plus I know her storytelling & writing improves. I will stick with the others in the series.I'm also reading
which is pretty good. I have pet chickens so this book is of special interest to me.

"How are the Deacon Chalk books? I've looked at that series repeatedly but haven'f tried it yet.
Alisa wrote: "How are the Deacon Chalk books? I've looked at that series repeatedly but haven'f tried it yet."I like them. At first glance you wouldn't like Deacon. He runs a strip club, but it is a safe spot for those that he rescues. He doesn't make them work there, they want to. Plus his gang is very unlikely, a hard smoking, hard drinking priest, a geek, and strippers. In his world he can be a good guy or bad guy. If you wrong humans he will come after you, however if you are a supernatural and in trouble he often will save you. A find line to walk.

"I loved The Lies of Locke Lamor..."
I have had it forever and I am really looking forward to it!
Do you know why he stopped writing?
Hi everyone my name is Pam and I'm new. I have been reading paranormal romance forever. I love them I have read all of Anita Blakes except for her last one. I also have read all of Kim Harrison The Hollows except for the last one. I get a lot of my books from Barnes and Noble free books and put them on my nook. I just got from our e-book Library one of the Sookie Stackhouse books that I must have missed, and the first book of Kim Harrison's new series. I use to read just romances but that got boring reading books with the super natural added to it spices the whole theme up. Thanks for letting me join. Pam

He developed a very severe phobia of being around people after touring his second book. I have heard of rock stars that have developed the same phobia. I know from his website that he has been in therapy for it and it is getting better but it isn't completely better yet.
@Mike how absolutely dreadful but I can totally see how that could happen I am not a fan of crowds so the idea of having crowds gather around you ...uggg

That is bad, but not sure why it would stop him writing. I would keep writing, but let my publisher know that I can't tour, just do virtual tours.
I finished
and
. I enjoyed both - the Accidental Werewolf was a cute paranormal romance and I liked the premise behind Demon Hunter & Baby - a single woman tries to balance motherhood and being a demon hunter/exorcist. I've started

I would imagine it is much more complicated like the fear of touring has infiltrated his ability to write. I think the mindset follows the path of is you write something good then you will eventually have to tour so then your brain just causes you not to want to write...not sure if that makes sense writing it out like this but hopefully you follow my thinking.
Anyway I do see your point...are virtual tours as effective??
Dawn wrote: "are virtual tours as effective??"I don't know, but in that situation, wouldn't it be better than nothing?
It's sad that our brains can sabotage us when we're not looking. Hope he gets over it and starts writing again, especially for his many fans as well as himself.

Actually I think you are pretty dead on. I do think the logic is "if I write people will want to be around me". I do know that he is getting better because he has written some small things on his blog. None of them are connected to Locke Lamora though.

pfft no way, though it doesnt have much to do with the story which was a bit of a bummer.
Well, I know I'm late but I just read

and really enjoyed them. Just reserved the next one from the library ;)

I think I'm putting news in the wrong place again. Does someone know where writers share announcements? But I just got interviewed on author Kyra Jacobs's blog. She's fun to work with. Here's the link, if anyone's interested: http://indianawonderer.wordpress.com/...
