I am solidly awesome
Aug. 9th, 2010 09:25 amOr rather, AFTERLIFE is, according to this review from Book Goggles!
Clark manages to take a plot that's been done before & not only make it her own, but bring a creative new twist to it.
Yay! It's this kind of review that reminds me Yasmin's story is still not done. She's got at least one more book in her, maybe two. And I want to write Ethan novellas forever because I heart him this much. I could happily play in the Shoregrave world for years, I think. So, must crack the whip on self. This seems as good a time as any to check the Accountability List:
Writing Life (in no particular order)
1. Finish Earthbound for Queer Light anthology - still waiting to hear back on this one.
2. Rewrite Wild for my Fearless Agent. First three chapters must be done by 23rd March. Shouldn't be a problem. Wild is now out on submission. One rejection so far, and my agent and I both feel the ending still needs work, so we'll see.
3. Finish Demonised, an Ethan Banning novella, for submission to Damnation Books - Yep, nailed that sucker. DEMONISED is officially due for publication in March 2011.
4. Start on BAD DOGS, the sequel to SILVER KISS - Yeah... Started it, hated it, destroyed it, started again. But BLOOD HUNT is going very well, I'm really happy with my progress now, and confident I'll have a first draft done by the end of August, which was always my aim.
5. Write Halflife, sequel to AFTERLIFE. I have a rough (very, very rough) plot in mind involving necromancers, witches, demons, and mad monks. Should be fun! However...
6. Write the Cassandra novel for my agent - This one takes precendent for me. Once BLOOD HUNT is done, I'll be focusing on this, so I'm thinking late 2010, early 2011 before I even start working on Halflife.
6. The Queer Gothic anthology is due for release soonish, so I should have edits for Moths forthcoming too. - Still waiting to hear about this one.
There's also a dragon novella floating around somewhere, but that's low down the list of priorities.
