No RWA conference for me this year. Nope. I have my nose to the grindstone, working hard on polishing Magellan’s Witch. I’m up to chapter 14 and so far no disasters, rewrites or deletions. I’ve corrected a few continuity issues, caught another typo or two and am generally continuing to deepen and improve.
In Other Writing news, I was saddened to hear of the death of Kathleen E. Woodiwiss. Her website hasn’t been updated with the news yet, but take a minute to visit the site of a literary pioneer. Thank you, Ms. Woodiwiss. We’ll miss you.
Other news includes upcoming books I’m itching to read. Harry Potter 7, of course. We had a lively discussion over dinner tonight about who we thought is the character mostly likely to die. My son said Snape or Hermione. I said, what if it’s Hagrid? Others thought perhaps Harry. — If it is, I can see the book flying to the wall right now.
But, the book I can hardly wait to read is J.R. Ward’s next Black Dagger Brotherhood book, Lover Unbound. Michelle Buonfiglio over at B(u)y The Book is reading an ARC right now. Waahhh! I want an ARC too! I have the email from Amazon assuring me my copy is coming. It better be here September 25th! Sigh. Vishous.Sigh.
All righty. Back to work.
