Finished Racing for the Sun by Amy Lane. Need to leave a review. Liked it a lot. Even if I was sitting there going… what the fuck is between Santee and Lakeside. *ducks and grins* NOTHING! SHE’S RIGHT! Heh

I did like it. It was a decent book. I liked the unveiling of the characters’ traumas and the blending in of the racing world. I dunno about the hotness of a Taurus SHO but yeah, people really like those chassis to run down the line. All in all, a really good book. *grins*

Typical Amy Lane characters, broken but finding their strength or finding their way. Some lead-in to another book and ah, I do adore Jai. He’s adorable. I think I know one or two of him in my life. *laughs*

Started Tats of Honour by Vona Logan. I just got started. It was late last night and I just had to crash but so far, I really like it. Writing is good and I can see where the writer’s taking the thread so that’s nice. It’ll be interesting once the main cee runs into someone else. Like I’ve said, I’ve JUST started.

Having a lot of ink myself, it’s always interesting to read how other authors view ink and their purpose. It’s such a personal thing. Really, I enjoy reading other viewpoints so much. I’m looking forward to going through this book. I’m enjoying what I’ve read so far.

Beginning to look for cover models for Black Dog Blues. I hate my life. No really, staring at guys really is a bitch because you have this IDEA in your head about what the character looks like and you really can’t find anyone to match that. And well, I don’t know any hot guys who I can line up in a lava field or something to pose like they’re gunning for something.

Wish me luck.

So I’m reaching the end of Fish and Ghosts. I’ve just the epilogue to do and then well blurb and synopsis. I’ll let it sit for a bit before editing so in the meantime, I’ll be working on that steampunk short to submit to DSP’s anthology.

Steampunk is an odd genre. It requires a delicate balance of science and non-contemporary voice. A certain mood needs to be set and since this is a short… twelve thousand words max… I won’t have much time to do it. But I think it can be done. Just has to be layered through.

And somehow have two guys meet and fall into something in that short of a time. *grins* Which also can be done.

So, what do you like about steampunk? Or dislike? What draws you to the genre? Or have you not read any and are curious? Or not curious? Let me know 😀 I’ve got a day or two before I start tinkering with my brain and kick into the gears.

 

I want to thank Lou for taking over for the past couple of days. If you’ve not read through her posts, please go back and enjoy what’s she’s laid down on the blog. And the Giveaways ROCK! *grins*

Wanted to wish you all a good morning and let’s go back to the basics. Some pretty boys doing some lovely things….

Dirty Day by Rhys Ford
This is a FREE Cole and Jae short to celebrate Dreamspinner Press’ Sexy Sixth Anniversary. Told from Jae’s POV and happens after Dirty Laundry. It clocks in at 3000 words. I got it right to the 3000 word limit I was given. And damn, I wanted to add more…. *grins*

I’ve never been a big Superman fan. Okay I watched Lois and Clark because you know… DEAN FUCKING CAIN but the hero himself… meh.

Too clean. Too righteous. I like my heroes a bit… grungy.

But hey, this Superman looks pretty decent. 😀

 

This pretty much sums up how I feel about readers. This is a sign I could use on my blog for readers. Authors should remember this and hold it fast to their hearts. Readers are the most important visitors to our works. They are.

So thank you, guys. Really.

Yoshi demands LONG belly rubs. Like at least half an hour long. There is to be no stopping. And her minky blanket is to remain on the couch. On top of her pillow.
