JAC's blog

[J.A.]

Hey guys;

My blog has a random assortment of stuff on it, and at the moment I'm running a series of author interviews and general guest-bloggery.

This week's blog is from the pen of Lexi Revellian, author of Remix and Replica and maker of particulary spectacular silverware (I kid you not, go look at the pics on her blog!)

The link is here: http://jaclement.wordpress.com and she talks about what made her come up with the storyline for her new book REPLICA, along with her views on e-publishing.

Anyone want to drop by, you know we'll love you for it!

JAC

[J.A.]

Not technically my blog, but anyone want to read an author interview with me?

It's at TC's blog - see

Can you think of a disgusting flavour of ice-cream? A REALLY disgusting one? Then put on your thinking cap, disengage your tastebuds and enter The Ice-Cream Gross-Out Challenge!

http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/5...
- prize of a choice of free bookery goes to the grossest entry.

Don't let me down, people, I have full faith in you!

JAC

[Cambria]

lol. nothing like a new gross flavor of ice cream to start out the summer!

[Amy Eye]

See, that is what I was thinking...Nothing like ice cream to make it really feel like summer!! :)

[J.A.]

And some of those flavours really are nothing like ice-cream.... hohoho

[J.A.]

Wotcha peeps!

This week's blog is a dark fairytale from horror writer Lisa Hinsley - the challenge was to write a fairytale as it would have happened if she was the heroine!

Snow White it ain't! but if you're interested, here's where it is....

Very cool. I can't wait to go read this. I love to read spins of fairlytales. I like to see how the writer can make it different but still the same, you know?
Have you ever read Beastly? I read it and the movie comes out on DVD the 28th here! I can't wait to watch it.

[J.A.]

No? Got a link? Intrigued!
JAC

[J.A.]

WOOOOOOO loook I'm on a list!

http://www.goodreads.com/list/show/81...

Well I voted (because I DO wish more people knew about ODS!!) but someone else added me - cool or what?!
JAC

[Cambria]

Congrats JA! I voted for you!!

[J.A.]

Thanks Cambria - much obliged!!


JAC

[J.A.]

Wow, that knocked it up 100 places and onto the second page!! Thanks, Cambria!
JAC

[Jenn]

I voted, it took me going through every page to find you though so I ended up voting on a bunch of other books too in my search. Congrats on making the list and good luck :)

I do what I can... :)

[J.A.]

Thanks Jenn - and there are some fab books on there, too! Must admit I used all my votes and could have done some more too.
JAC

[Jenn]

yvw, you have a great writing style, I really would like to see your work more well known.

[TC]

I voted too. I was surprised by some of the books on there. I mean, come on, how many more readers are there who don't know about The Hunger Games?

[Cambria]

That is a huge list! And your right TC you'd have to live in a cave not to know about HG

[J.A.]

Errrrrr..... shall I come out of the cave now?


;oS

[J.A.]

oh, and thanks TC!

[Kayleigh {K-Books}]

u dnt know about HG :O
my fave books ever

[J.A.]

I just found them at the top of the list ODS is on, anyhow. Has some good feedback from reviewers whose opinions I respect though - will add it to the list, maybe.

JAC

[TC]

Have to confess I thought I was the only literate person on the planet not to have read HG but obviously not. My local library strangely only has the second book in the series and last time I looked it still wasn't available on kindle in the UK.

HEHE!! That is too funny! I thought the same thing Cambria did, I had no idea it wasn't available EVERYWHERE! That surprises me!

[Cassie]

I voted for you too...yesterday?? I didn't have time to go through the WHOLE list...

[J.A.]

Thanks Cassie! Well I figure being on the front page is not a bad place to be!!

Amy, dunno if it's available, I just haven't heard of them. But then if it's set in America of the future, they'd prob be marketing in there predominantly.

oh my. no offense meant there.....I guess Hunger Games hasn't come out where you live??

I haven't read Hunger Games yet either. But i have heard of it and I know the plot and everything. :)

[J.A.]

Cambria, am deeply, deeply offended..... no a bit more offended than that.... heheheh no really!

Good turn of phrase though as I was reading at the time.... so you were technically correct, just not in the way you thought!

Woot! Check that out (at the bottom!). Considerably chuffed with that!

LOL, JA....
i haven't read HG either...maybe i should pick up a copy of that cave book....

[J.A.]

heheheh

Can recommend though it's not at all fantasy or anything...
JAC

[Cambria]

yeah? I am very partial to paranormal or fantasy....YA is my passion

[J.A.]

hmm, poss not your thing then.

[Cambria]

maybe not.
unless there is a werewolf living in that cave? or maybe a zombie? LOL
I will read other things....just i mostly read the above for one because thats what I write and I like to be in know about that stuff but also because I just love it. :)

Now HOW awesome is that!! WAY TO GO GIRL!!

[J.A.]

Thank you Amy!

JAC

[Dale]

I haven't read HG either! We have caves in Connecticut too, I guess. :)

[J.A.]

Oooh look! My interview's up - go have a nosey if you're interested...

[C.S. Splitter]

Ah, very cool. Those are always fun!

Big jellyfish?

Splitter

[J.A.]

The Archangel. Big, BIG jellyfish.

That's why it will kick the ass of your demon.
...er... or at least sting said demon considerably and then ingest it.

JAC

[C.S. Splitter]

Lol, good! I am tired of the demon lol.

I see a cage match!

Love your take on fantasy too. I love good fantasy but I hate it when it is too fantastical. (if that makes sense)

Splitter

[J.A.]

Well, you know you can always send the demon round here if you think it need a good handbagging. Think "Hell's Grannies" in training...hehheheheh

Cool! Well I figure there are enough dragons out there already, and I enjoy them when they're right- but I always did have to do something different. Just contrary, me!

You should read Robin Hobb if you haven't already! got my whole family (non-fantasy fans) into reading fantasy with her stuff. Fab...
JAC

[Cambria]

Fighting demons and BIG jellyfish??? Gheesh a girl misses one day and see what happens?? LOL

[J.A.]

We like to keep you on your toes you know!
