Thought for today

"I'll say this though: Some words have a power that has nothing to do with supernatural forces. They resound in the heart and mind, they live long after the sounds of them have died away, they echo in the heart and the soul. They have power, and that power is very real.

Those three words are good ones."

Harry Dresden, Grave Peril by Jim Butcher, page 344-5

Interesting perspective

I'm reading an interview with Andrzej Sapkowski, the author of The Witcher novels that I enjoy so much.  And I found his answer to this question very interesting.

Love and Quotations (Romani Detective Original Fiction)

Title: Love and Quotations
Fandom: Romani Detective Original Fiction
Pairing: Andrej Zeklos/James Rosewood/Zayne Reyes
Rating: PG-13-ish (maybe more)
Word Count: 3,062
Summary: I can’t even explain this. It’s more a series of vignettes smooshed together than anything.
Author’s Notes: Written for the weekend challenge at 1_million_words. I was given some quotes and managed to work all three in, plus one from another favorite author (Armistead Maupin). Also: yes, I know, dumb title, but I'm at a loss. And no, I don't believe this makes any damn sense.

The Sword of Destiny

I read a lot; you all know that by now. So, when I pick up a book, I usually know if it’s going to elicit some kind of strong emotion out of me going in. However, this one took me by surprise.

Warning for some possible spoilers. Not sure if they really are but you know, read at your own risk.

First lines are fun

I remember being told that the first line of your book needs to grab the reader's attention. Whelp, Lorelei James has that down.

Random Quote

It's weird, I was thinking about this quote the other day. It made me think of Troy because I can honestly see him feeling this way. He was always more about doing and being there for others than for himself.

And then it randomly pops up as my Facebook memory today. The universe is screwing with me again.

Your Tuesday Laugh

From the book I started reading this morning:

Marty was grinning. “Danny Beckett,” he said with pretended awe, “Detective Supreme.”


“Detective Supreme, huh?” Jen said with a snicker.

“Yeah,” I said, “just like a regular detective, but with tomatoes and sour cream.”*

This is killing me right now. I’m going to have to make note because this is 110% something Zayne would come up with.
