![]() ![]() Grief and hatred collide with lust and obsession, and this time Daniel and Stavros are on the same side. Somewhere between the slide of knife against skin, and the drip of blood on cold concrete, things change. Starved of food, sunlight and freedom, he waits for an opening to turn the tables on the only man who’s ever come close enough to scare him. Time spent in Daniel Nieto’s dungeon, chained and tortured, will never change that. The title of monster fits too well for Stavros to want to be anything other than what he is. With the whisper of one name, he puts it all on the line for vengeance.

Brief Summary of Book: Call the Coroner (Staniel, #1) by Avril Ashton ![]() ![]() ![]() Her ingenious ability to capture life in 1950s New York City and Chicago-and also the decades that followed-has been honored in a traveling exhibition and now a documentary.

Nothing says love like matching pretzel necklaces Finding the next Vivian Maier by Susan on EyeEm ![]() ![]() That said, the historical accuracies disappoint. 45 autos that Dillinger was known to wear. Good Lord, the Crown Point, Indiana jailbreak was filmed at the actual Crown Point Jail, and the notorious Little Bohemia Lodge shootout was filmed at the actual site! They were period correct right down to the holsters, including the double shoulder holsters for Colt. If you track down this blog to a bit over a year ago, I wrote about my anticipation of seeing this film after being in Chicago where they filmed it on location. I just wish that Mann, one of our great action film directors who admittedly doesn’t work for The History Channel, had gone a bit more true to the actual, fascinating story. I enjoyed the tremendous attention to period correct detail in everything from the clothes to, of course, the firearms. I got out of my last movie theater a lot smoother than the real John Dillinger got out of his. Finally got to see “Public Enemies,” Michael Mann’s Dillinger movie with Johnny Depp in the starring role. ![]() ![]() ![]() She calls in reinforcements to handle any takedowns or wrangling of pureblooded fae villains. She's worked similar jobs for fae before, but as a changeling, her abilities are flimsy compared to those of a full-blooded fae, so when she finds what she's looking for, she taps out. When a powerful fae's wife and daughter are kidnapped, he recruits Toby for her PI skills to find them. It's that "mostly" that destroys her world. ![]() She has a human fiancé, and together they have a daughter. She lives mostly with the humans, or has for awhile now. October Daye is a changeling, or part fae/part human. Once he showed up, it was easy to push through the next couple of chapters, then Toby was back in thick of things. Me: I'm SO glad you asked! I didn't even have to finish the first chapter before things got interesting. You: Yeah, but how long did that take? How far do I have to get into the book before I get to the "good part"? ![]() Which was good, b/c I made it past the '90s flashback of a prologue, and the depths-of-despair aftermath that had initially put me off. ![]() I didn't pick it up again for a couple of years, and when I did, it was b/c DESPERATE for new UF. The first time I tried to read ROSEMARY AND RUE, I DNF-ed it. October Daye is one of my Top 5 Favorite UF Series.Ģ. There are two things I want to tell you in advance:ġ. ![]() ![]() ![]() This series ran from 2000-2003 and was complete at 7 volumes. With four other girls, Ichigo must navigate the difficulties of saving the world with the perils of maintaining her personal life and keeping her superhero identity hidden from those she cares about – especially her crush, Masaya. Tokyo Mew Mew (written by Reiko Yoshida, additional writing and art by Mia Ikumi) follows Ichigo Momomiya, a twelve-year-old girl who, after being infused with the genes of an endangered breed of wild cat, must save the earth from the threat of aliens who seek to conquer it. I was pretty young when I read it (probably early teens), but I have fond memories of the characters and stories, and I look forward to riding the wave of nostalgia. ![]() ![]() I’ve been looking forward to this one, because Tokyo Mew Mew was the very first manga series I collected and read to completion. ![]() ![]() ![]() So when I found about the new series of Kane Chronicles I was super excited. An action-packed series with interesting, independent characters and terrifying monsters, oh yes.and Greek gods. To stop him, the siblings embark on a dangerous journey across the globe - a quest that brings them ever closer to the truth about their family and their links to a secret order that has existed since the time of the pharaohs. Soon, Sadie and Carter discover that the gods of Egypt are waking, and the worst of them -Set- has his sights on the Kanes. Instead, he unleashes the Egyptian god Set, who banishes him to oblivion and forces the children to flee for their lives. Kane brings the siblings together for a "research experiment" at the British Museum, where he hopes to set things right for his family. While Sadie has lived with her grandparents in London, her brother has traveled the world with their father, the brilliant Egyptologist, Dr. Since their mother's death, Carter and Sadie have become near strangers.

It shouldn't be that surprising, really, though, that an artificial creature could actually solicit our sympathies as much as a human one. On sympathizing with Klara, despite her being an A.I. ![]() I wanted her to remain a very optimistic character who has a childlike faith in the presence of something good and protective in the world - even as she learns all these other things, darker things about the human world that she occupies. I wanted some of that childlike freshness and openness and naivety to survive all the way through the text in her. She's like a tabula rasa at the beginning, and she's quite childlike and very open. ![]() Klara was especially interesting for me because she doesn't bring any baggage with her. On why he wanted his narrator to be an artificial person ![]() ![]() ![]() It’s an arbitrary figure I picked up from Stephen King, but it seems like a good chunk of text to go for. ![]() I guess I just got sick of sticking to the facts.Ģ.What is a usual writing day like for you, how is it structured? I like to write 2,000 words first thing in the morning. I wanted to take my stories to that next level where although you couldn’t prove the details, it seemed like a likely (and entertaining) outcome. But-if you’re doing your job correctly-journalism really limits where you can go with a story based upon the facts. It was especially good for learning how to set a scene and weave background info into a story. Send More Idiots is my 2nd novel ( Pac Heights, 2013)ġ.What got you into writing / what made you sit down and actually start something? I was a journalist straight out of college, so that was a great way to learn the mechanics of writing and researching a story. ![]() I went to the University of California at San Diego and now reside in San Francisco. ![]() |
