So many books… #amreading #books
I have decided to start a (hopefully) regular feature on books that have grabbed my attention in the last week (or however long it has been since I got the last feature up). These will not be books that I have already read, though a few of them might be. They will be books that I have seen and added to my TBR list, looked up on Amazon, loved the cover of, etc. Just a quick run-through of what has gotten my attention, so you can have a look too.

Excerpt from This Plague of Days
I have had This Plague of Days on my TBR (to be read) list since I heard Robert Chazz Chute’s interview on Rocking Self Publishing back in August. I’m not big on apocalyptic, but was intrigued by his use of an autistic character and wanted to see how he portrayed Jamie and got into his head. Jamie has Aspergers Syndrome and is a functional mute with an obsession for words/etymology. I was disappointed to find that Chute only has a superficial understanding of the Autism Spectrum, and has endowed Jamie with mystical/paranormal powers. But I’m still reading it because I want to see how it all turns out.

NaNo in February?
It’s sort of like Christmas in July; NaNoWriMo is just too much fun to only do once a year. Or, er, only three times per year… When I made my initial five-year plan for publishing, I decided that I would continue to write three new books per year (writing the first draft for Camp Nano in April, Camp Nano in July and NaNoWriMo in November) as well as working on finishing, rewriting, editing, and revising my backlist for publishing. It was a good plan. But my creative brain starts to itch during the long space between November and April, and my logical brain points out that I have a new writing project planned for Q2, Q3, and Q4, but nothing in Q1, which is rather unbalanced.
