So, I thought that it would be a good time to discuss both the current books I am reading and my upcoming book. The current book series that has stolen my full and undivided attention is the Dragonriders of Pern series. It is exceedingly well written and I find myself often absorbed in her plots and characters. For those wondering what kind of books I normally read, it should be known that I will read just about anything within the fiction realm. I do have a stronger tendency towards fantasies and science fiction, but like I said, I'll read anything. I'm also fond of classics, like Jane Austin, Charlotte Bronte, Mark Twain and so on.
Now, I should talk about my upcoming book. First and foremost, I have written a total of two complete novels but have about five or six that I have in the "works". The two that I have written are "loosely based" on well known fairy tales. Now, I should warn you that when I say loosely based, I mean that I took these beloved and well known fairy tales, shattered them into a million little pieces and then rewrote them so that they look nothing like the originals but have some obvious elements connecting them to their inspiration. You should also know that magic plays no part within these rewrites. I tried to make them more realistic, set in my own universe loosely based on historical Europe. Now, the one that has gone to be published is my version of Cinderella. My current title for it is "The Tale of Cinder and Ella" but I fully expect that to change since publishers are known to change titles if they come up with one that they think more sell-able. Everyone who has read it has liked it so I have great hopes for the project. If you have any questions, I will try and answer them in my next blog.
