Psycop Series M/M

[Regina]

Me too. I do like that she doesn't idealize it.

[Regina]

Hey ladies, the interview with JCP went live if you are interested, it is here.

[Leea]

It looks great!!

[Regina]

Thanks Leea! She is such a cool woman. I understand completely how she writes such in depth characters.

[Gwennie]

Did you guys see this?



I am TOTALLY getting this! It sounds great, the the first review listed makes it sound great, and I can't wait to read it.

[Regina]

I did Wendy! The ONLY thing holding me back is I have so many unread books. I need to read that review. Did you ever have a chance to read

[Leea]

Both sound interesting, but I still have to finish the PsyCops series... then i'll move onto JCP other books. Can't wait to read you reviews though.

[Gwennie]

I didn't read Zero Hour yet. You were on the fence about it, right? For some reason it didn't jump out at me like the new one does. The same thing with her other series, I eh about it.

[Regina]

I was on the fence about another book, one of her early books that she republished. I liked the setting and the characters, but, I dont know ... I dnfed it, however I may go back and finish it since I still think about it. It was this

I have Zero Hour on my list, but haven't had a chance yet.

I just read the review you referenced for the Starving Years. It does make it sound fabulous.

You know what I think is interesting? How much she writes. I asked her, Carolyn Crane and Patricia Briggs all the same question and they all had a similar answer. I asked them if they had ideas for their next project and they all said they had too many ideas and not enough time to write them. Which I find amazing. Sometimes I get an idea for a story, but it isn't fleshed out and then it sort of disappears. I guess that separates the true writers from the wannabees. :)

[Gwennie]

You are so right, I have the same problems. An idea for a story, but I struggle getting it down.

[Regina]

I guess we are just readers - -maybe editors! But not writers. Depressing. There is a joke in my profession that every lawyer is a wannabe novelist. In my home town (which is small, 16k people), my dad used to practice with an attorney (not same office, same courthouse, town -- it was small) who wrote in his spare time. He then published he first book and it was crazy popular, he got a divorce - -which was messy (he had a child the same age as me and my dad was somehow involved in the divorce) and then he moved to the west coast. Now he is super famous. Terry Brooks!!!! I wish I could be like him. :) There is another lawyer in a firm in chicago that made it big -- Scott Turow -- if you go in to his firm's office (which is a huge international firm) his books are displayed everywhere. And then there is Julie James who went to my law school and worked in a firm near mine. There is alot of precedent, but somehow I know it will never happen for me because I just want to be a writer however I actually have no stories in me. :)

[Gwennie]

That is amazing, Terry Brooks is such a well known author. That would be a dream.

[Regina]

I know. I agree. Funny he fled Illinois as soon as he could!

[Regina]

Ladies -- how are you doing? I am ready to move on to GhosTV ......

[Kay]

I still have to read Camp Hell. I'll catch up to you ladies eventually.

[Regina]

Camp Hell is my favorite so far.

[Leea]

I still need to read book 4... I've been slacking

[Gwennie]

I love Camp Hell... and GhosTV. You guys are in for some goodness.

[Regina]

Wendy did you see that JCP has a new series?



The reviews on Amazon describe it as "character driven" which remeinds me of Psycop. http://amzn.com/B00805N6A8

[Dee]

hoping to get to Secrets/Camp Hell this weekend

[Gwennie]

I saw that she was going on about it in her blog. I hadn't had a chance to pop in and read about it. I got The Starving Years on my kindle and I'm eager to read that one too.

Really though, I'm dying for more Vic/Jacob!

Dee I can't wait to see what your thoughts are about those books! I loved them.

Wendy, I know I am too. I may read GhosTV in a few weeks. But I am trying so hard to wait. Starving Years is her first one? I forgot? I still need to get to the dystopia based novel.

[Gwennie]

I think Starving Years is the dystopia based one and I'm pretty sure it was intended as a standalone.

[Regina]

Oh! Ooohhhhhh, now i remember that one looks so good.

I was thinking of the one she co-authored that I bought

[Gwennie]

I have that one too, but haven't read it yet, ha.

[Regina]

Someday!

[Regina]

I think I am going to start a new book by JCP this weekend, but I am not sure which one (Wendy sorry I didn't have a chance to email you back, I will do that tonight. :) )

Which one would you start?

[Gwennie]

Hmmm, I would go with Starving Years because it's standalone.

[Regina]

Good reasoning, I think I will start with that one.

[Regina]

I wanted to say that I read Zero Hour and really liked it. It was very sweet, but interesting a comletely unique world -- a quick read. I also loved Mnvermind -- I read that one too. I really want to email JCP and ask her wen the sequel to Mnevermind is coming out and when the next installment of Psycop is coming out! I plan to read Starving Years next.

[Gwennie]

I can't wait for the next PsyCop! I really need to read her other books soon.

[Regina]

I think you would like both Mnevermind and Zero Hour.

[Gwennie]

I think I would too. I think it's just that there have been so many new releases and stuff that I just keep pushing it back.

[Regina]

And it is good to have some good books in your back pocket (or on your kindle) for those lulls in releases.

[Regina]

I edited the first post to add the new novella she just released

[Gwennie]

Did you read it yet? I haven't read it.

[Regina]

Not yet, I am sick and just busy -- I want to though! Are you busy with something else or just busy?

[Gwennie]

I've been sick too, lol. So I haven't been reading as much lately. So I'm still in the middle of .

[Regina]

That is a mouthful, lol!

I hope you feel better.

[Gwennie]

hahha, I know!

[Regina]

Wendy, I forgot which other series by JCP you read and weren't thrilled with (or it was more sex than anything ...)

or ?? I am thinking of a buying a bundle on her site.

[Gwennie]

It was the Channeling Morpheus/Sweet Oblivion series, with Wild Bill and Michael. It wasn't terrible. It wasn't as good as Psycop.

[Regina]

I wonder if it gets better ... as she has matured as a rider? How many did you read?

[Gwennie]

Only the first couple. They probably do get better, I'm sure. It's a pretty popular series.

I think for me, at only 40 pages there wasn't enough to really get to know the characters.

[Regina]

Thanks Wendy. :)

[Gwennie]

I am sending you a PM
