Two highly recommended books have recently crossed my desk (or Kindle, to be specific). I’ve got a review of each up on the Speculative Fiction Examiner page, but I’ll boil it down here real quick.
Want a supernaturally inclined London constable who apparently hasn’t heard the phrase “curiosity killed the cat?”
Read Midnight Riot, by Ben Aaronovitch.
Want a fantasy world bursting with morbid humor and enough blood and grit that you could make a very messy driveway?
Read The Heroes, by Joe Abercrombie.
In other news, some new writing tools and community resources have been posted on Write-Strong.com. I’m also in the home stretch of my WIP, and am, fortunately, enjoying the story as it unfolds. Hopefully the final scenes will live up to expectations.
Any news on your end?
Thanks for the links.
Absolutely, Jacqueline. I hope they prove fruitful.
