September is an excellent month for new releases – books I want:
Diana Gabaldon’s “An Echo in the Bone” (umm… I’m going to say historical fantasy): I can’t believe that we are finally getting the next book in Ms Gabaldon’s Outlander series.  It’s been way too long since the last one (and no, I’m not doing [...]

I haven’t done one of these posts for a very long time – mostly because I’m incredibly swamped at work.  But some recent (and not so recent) links of interest:
Literary Escapism has the new Kelley Armstrong cover for “Frostbitten” (Nov 2009).  Rather different from the previous ones!  I like.  Also, rather intriguingly, I looked this [...]

Diana Gabaldon’s posted an excerpt from “An Echo in the Bone”, which, fingers and everything else crossed, will be released in the fall of 2009.  I really really want.  Another recent post of hers touched upon scene-building – a peek into how she writes, which is fascinating indeed.
And while we’re on the subject of author [...]

Around the Web

Diana Gabaldon posted the news that she put up a sample script and page from her graphic novel on her website.  I think it’s rather cool to have a behind-the-scenes peek at the novel and the process of putting it together.  I’ve said before I’m not a graphic novel fan (I think I focus too much [...]

In case you haven’t yet heard, Diana Gabaldon has a new blog – yay!  Also, she’s put up a picture of a young Claire on her website (scroll about halfway down the page, in the Jan 11 post) – that’s Claire in the upcoming Outlander graphic novel (2009). 
What I didn’t realise was that it’s actually a [...]

My favourite books of 2007 – roughly in reading order:
** Patricia Briggs‘ “Blood Bound” (urban fantasy) – The second book in her Mercy series didn’t disappoint.  I’ve just finished the third (“Iron Kissed”) and can safely say this is one of my all-time favourite series.  It stands out from the hundred and one werewolf urban fantasy [...]

I’ve been debating whether to get the new Diana Gabaldon novella collection (“Lord John and the Hand of Devils”) – I’ve already read two, but you know, there is one new story, and it’ll be nice to have them all in a single book…
I need to be sensible, but it’s difficult when they’ve given it [...]

Suzanne Brockmann has posted an excerpt from her November release “All Through the Night” (spoilers if you haven’t yet read “Force of Nature”).  I’m guessing all Jules fans will definitely be getting this.  I’m really looking forward to this – have checked the price on Amazon.co.uk, and despite it being a hardcover, it’s retailing for £7.60, which [...]

Apparently, Diana Gabaldon will be doing a reading from her latest book “Lord John and the Brotherhood of the Blade” in Second Life (Oct 11).  I’m seeing a lot of Second Life news around nowadays, but have no interest in actually trying it out.  Isn’t it like The Sims but online?  I’m starting to feel like [...]
