My soon to be re-released book Eternal Curse: Giovanni’s Angel has qualified me for a chance to be included in The Author Show.com “50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading” publication under the category of Christian Fiction (I thought it was Faith-based fiction, but who can keep up with these labels?). I wasn’t excepting this opportunity, but it’s here and I’m very excited. Please consider giving me your vote.

Today is Patriot Day U.S.A. 2013

Today is a day to remember the attacks on September 11, 2001. Do you remember where you were when it happened? Have you lost someone to this great tragedy? My heart goes out to all people of the world who’ve been affected by acts of terrorism. Maybe one day we’ll live in a world where our differences aren’t a reason for war.

WWW Wednesday

WWW Wednesday 9/11/13

www_wednesdays44WWW WEDNESDAYS… is a weekly meme hosted by Miz B of “Should Be Reading”, where you share: (1)What you’re currently reading, (2)What you recently finished reading, and (3)What you think you’ll read next.

As I am only contributing to this meme on a monthly basis, while comments and shares are welcomed here, be sure to visit Should Be Reading each week to see who’s reading what.

1. What am I currently reading?

I’m loving Sacrifice just as I thought I would, but I’ve managed, as usual, to prolong completing it by piling on other reads in the process. I’ve been in a weird mood of trying new and different things, and while I’m liking it so far, I’ll have to grab a good fantasy read soon. (Bridge of Deaths, Chasing the Avatar, Pride and Prejudice)

2. What did I recently finish reading?

Two down in the Dryad Quartet so no sense in stopping now. I’ll have to find a copy of the next one at some point. I started and finished the Grim Fairy Tales and Mercury Falls much quicker than I had expected and I, of course, breezed right through Batman: Death Mask.

3. What do I think I’ll read next?

I’m going to give Seraphina another try. I started this book before and enjoyed what I read, but somehow got pulled away from it and just never went back. I’m going to start from scratch and give this book the attention I hope it deserves. Artemis Fowl, The Woodcutter, The Guardian’s Apprentice, and Angels Without Wings have interesting covers and blurbs that may entice me into picking up at least one of them up fairly soon.
