Monday’s Musings – Covers & Domains

March 11, 2013 by unwasted words

First up, I got this bit of info from Your Urban Fantasy, it’s the new new cover and summary of Cassie Palmer #6! “Being a goddess is a lot less fun than you might think. Especially when you’re only a half goddess, and you only found out about it recently, and you still don’t know what you’re doing half the time. And when you’ve just used your not-so-reliable powers to burglarize the booby-trapped office of a vampire mob boss. Yeah, […]

Monday’s Musings -E-Book Settlement

October 15, 2012 by unwasted words

So we’ve all griped about the price of e-books at some point in the past. It’s the nature of the product, after you get past the cost of formatting the thing it’s pure profit. There’s no printing or shipping costs. I know there are a lot of other expenses that go into publishing a book but the mark up ratio between some e-books and their paper counterparts can be crazy. And it seems the judicial system agrees. Some of you, […]

October 8, 2012 by unwasted words

Authors Behaving Badly -is a regular feature on Pocketful Of Books. Anna is up to number 13 in her series and is really thorough in siting her sources. Second Lunch -This whole website is hilarious. getsecondlunch.com is an illustrative blog post narrative of everyday things. Also great for fans of […]

Casting news may or may not be a disappointment for you my fellow purest so here’s the next installment of a rundown for a few of our favorite book adaptations scheduled for a 2013 release. The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones Anyone unhappy with the core cast (like me) won’t be thrilled with the rest.

Monday’s Musings -Fall Fresh Start

September 17, 2012 by unwasted words

I’ve had a really rough summer and I think my blog has reflected that. I’m sorry about my crazy erratic post schedule. In April my grandmother was hospitalized and at the same time my dog and partial blog inspiration also became sick. Two weeks later we finally got my grandmother home, but my beloved Gypsy did not fair as well and had to be euthanized. I can’t begin to describe how difficult it is to care for an elderly family […]

Jennifer Estep posted the new cover of Mythos Academy book #4 on goodreads. Crimson Frost is sporting a different model, not as pretty as the last one but […]

Monday’s Musings -Red Light Good, Green Light Bad

June 4, 2012 by unwasted words

We all fear the dreaded book to movie adaptation. There has been a lot of chatter about the on again off again relationship between City of Bones and Hollywood. Honestly for me the possible shelving of this project by the current filmmakers was not a bad thing. This is partially due to the casting. I despise the casting so far for either of the lead characters and am very disappointed in the whole Twilight strategy in finding a male lead. […]

Monday’s Musings -The Age of X Process

May 7, 2012 by unwasted words

I recently read a post by Richelle Mead on her blog chronicling her journey in developing a new series. For the past few years Mead has been working on four different series, all of which she’s already established the world and characters for. It’s rare to get a peek into someone’s creative process and I found these posts interesting and thought you might too. Her first post The Age of X Process #1 is mostly about the brainstorming stage and making […]
