I'm going to do a book recs post at some point, but first I need to finish all the books I'm reading, which include Clementine by Cherie Priest (airship pirates FTW) and Blameless by Gail Carriger and Bedlam by Laura Joh Rowland.
Am plugging away on the third Cloud Roads book:
plus the YA book I'm working on with a friend.
Tropical Storm Hermine is currently raging across the state, and I'm just hoping for a little more rain.
I'll answer the second question tomorrow, because I think that's worth a separate post.
And that's very cool about the BG booth! Thanks for telling me. :)
I continue to get responses to queries that read, "Your characters are engaging and your prose smooth, but I really don't relate to magic and sorcery in a book. . . ." So what I need is someone who DOES relate to YA novels that have an element of magic or paranormal activity. People SAY they like paranormal stuff, but then they don't want witchcraft or a magical item or whatnot. You can't get the truth out of market listings. . . .
Wikipedia & Worldbuilding
I have three questions. The first doesn't directly pertain to writing, but I was curious if the info on Wikipedia is stuff you've posted yourself, or was this a task freely taken up by hard-core fans? Second, what inspired you to come up with your concept for etheric signatures and using special glasses with which to view them? And lastly, is there any difference in meaning when you use "aether" and "ether" in your stories or are they pretty much the same thing? (I hope I don't sound nitpicky or anything; I'm just genuinely curious!)
