my view

Hay there everyone, how’s life been treating you all?
  Me? Great in a way that the sun is shining and a thought is placed in my mind in a bang that wants nothing more than to come out and spread its love to you'll.
  Something got me thinking about how I feel about writing, what I do to be able to write, and how I find it. Like is it hard for me to come up with a book? no, I'm one of the few people in this world that can sit in front of a computer with nothing in my head and still write a story. Yeah its better when I have a general idea what I want it to be about, but I don't need it. It’s even more helpful if I have some character idea - again not something that I really need. I can just write. 
   if I'm honest with myself (which isn't my strongest point) I find it a little unmoving that I'm able to do what I can do. It’s like looking at the world in letters and sentences. Watching how people tilt there head, the curve of their body, so that I can write it, transfer it all into a book. Have characters that are bits and pieces of people off the street. And yet I can do that. Hell I started writing what... four years ago and the way things are going I have written one book a year, if I keep, just that idea up... I could end up with a lot, and that's before you put in the fact that I want to write like four a year. 
  But I see the world - or at least the people in it - I believe that everyone has a story in them. It’s there life story and people just choose to tell there's a little differently than others. Some tell loved ones, children, grandchildren. some write songs, poems, musicals. Hell some just bottle it all up until they find themselves dead by whatever mean they fell the need to end their life with. 
  I write, I've always written, it's one of the reason that I didn't have to tell anyone about the compete inner working of my mind, I already had someone for that, even if that someone never actually new it. But mostly as I see it, my stories are a little bit out of my life, a story to tell you all, about me, about others that I know. And even if no one can tell that I'm doing it, there. How I feel about those around me, how I see them. there life in my eyes, their personalities, and yeah bad stuff happens to all at my fingertips, though I'm trying real hard for that not to be true, I still put in just a little of my life into each book, I don't think I could stop myself even if I tried.
  but really this is about all those questions that will probably never be asked of me, 'cause let’s face it, being an author isn't something that happens to just anyone, and I haven't got a mind that can make me hope I'll become one in a blink of an eye, if ever. But I find writing easy, it sooths something in my when I don't even know it needs soothed. It makes me happy even when I'm sad. it's.... the one thing in the world I can see myself doing for the rest of my life, even if it takes me nowhere, even if it ends up being for nothing than to relax me when I'm stressed. but who know, maybe I'll actually be good at it. Seems there has to be something, right.
  anywho, temp outside is 3˚C, its cold but at least the wind has stopped, that's kinda a bonus. The kids are on holidays for the week, it's only been half a day and already wish they were going to their respected school tomorrow, but know, I have a week of them at home. I'm about to go out, by some snacks, rent a movie and hope to hell that gives me an hour or so of no annoying kids, only time will tell. 
  The rest of you enjoy your time, till next we meet. *smile* I'll be writing while your all living.

                Synopsis
Centuries ago, Sebastian Wroth was turned into a vampire—a nightmare in his mind—against his will. Burdened with hatred and alone for ages, he sees little reason to live. Until an exquisite, fey creature comes to kill him, inadvertently saving him instead. When Kaderin the Cold Hearted lost her two beloved sisters to a vampire attack long ago, a benevolent force deadened her sorrow—accidentally extinguishing all of her emotions. Yet whenever she encounters Sebastian, her feelings—particularly lust—emerge multiplied. For the first time, she's unable to complete a kill.

The prize of the month-long contest is powerful enough to change history, and Kaderin will do anything to win it for her sisters. Wanting only to win her, forever, Sebastian competes as well, taking every opportunity—as they travel to ancient tombs and through catacombs, seeking relics around the world—to use her new feelings to seduce her. But when forced to choose between the vampire she's falling for and reuniting her family, how can Kaderin live without either?

      my Thoughts (review)
this book is about, like above a Valkyrie who was ‘blessed’ with the ability to feel nothing until she goes to kill Sebastian, a turned vampire who wishes for nothing but his death, never wanting to be what he is, his has been disgusted with himself until her. A little woman who starts his heart beating again—problem? She’s his bride and nothing can say will keep him away from her, not even the fact that she’s spent the last millennium or more killing off his kind, even though she hates what he is just about as much as he does himself.
     
Try as she might to get away from him, and return herself to her glorious cold-hearted self, she sets off to compete in the Talisman’s Hie the one thing she loves for other than killing vampires. And that’s when the fun really begins.
     
I’m not that sure how I rate this book (among it’s others) it wasn’t half of what I was expecting, and yet it was more. And though it’s placed over a long period of time, it’s so quick that some of the feelings in the whole are confusing and you feel maybe even quick to come, and yet you know there not. which made it an interesting book, that two and the chase thing that happens, the idea behind it all and the characters that are in it are all great, and yet there the same, though can anyone really blame that. it’s kinda what makes it interesting in a way, because we already know a little about the other players (or at least the one that matters) and the need to win from that person even if it’s not really looked into because we have already seen him (if you read these books in order) so yeah... it was great, and I like her as a author, or at least I like this series that she has written this series, can’t comment on her others, since I haven’t read them.
     
Anyway, the series is great; one that you should pick up and have a gander over, maybe you will like it, maybe not. I can’t say what your type is really like. But I enjoyed it immensely and with the stupid preview of the book to come, I want to get that one. But she is a great writer all her characters are different and persistent and make you fall in love with them as quickly as they do each other.
