Driving home


I have been looking at a lot of other authors’ blog sights lately and the one thing they all have in common is the fact that they all show thing that inspire them, and all that crap. You know the natural world when they go walking outside, when there blocked and all that. 

Unlike them, I don't do much nature crap. It’s not that I don't like the outdoors or that I wouldn't go out there with the family--hell I spent more time then not on family holidays going out looking for phantoms falls that were never there. And trails that led to nowhere in particular and my favourite is being sting by leaves. But I don't particularly find anything when looking at them, or when I'm out in the world. Honestly I'm the type that lives so fully in my head that it’s not the fact that I need inspiration for the story, just to write.

Saying this, on the way home today there was a shit load of traffic and so we were stopped at traffic lights that isn’t always stopped at, and saying this, I’m getting a brain twist and know I’m going to stuff all this up.

Anywho, I was sitting there, my son telling me how cool the birds in it were and I noticed for, I think, the first time that the background of the whole thing is a bush fire. Which is a big thing when your living in the Blue Mountains—or use to, really, the rain these last couple of years have been fucking that up, how I miss the smell of gum burning out of control in the local area.

I’m serious about the smell, not so much the out of control fire in the area.

Anyway, here are two photos of the picture; it was pained by a local school 


The other side of the tunnel is pretty cool to and when I can I will get a pic for that as well. but still, this one is an alright painting, and saying that it's mostly, just not my type of picture than anything. what I love is the fire in the background. 

this isn't all of it, the second picture that tree on the right is more complete and has an owl purched on it's branch.

Thanks for your time

What I got while Shopping

So I was shopping, and like always I got myself some books which I shouldn't but these are the ones that I really wanted. Or more three of the four are the ones I was to going to get no matter what. 

So have a look at the latest books to fill my shelf, they are also the ones that I will most likely be reading this weekend.

they're all that stands between us... and the end of the world.
Where Demons Fear to Tread by Stephanie Chong. this is her debut

Where angels fall from grace and demons fall in love.

'Welcome to Devil's Paradise.'
   The arch demon's voice was low and deep. 
       His fingers caressed her through the fabric of her dress.
              'Your soul - or his, Serena. Choose.'

So there you have it... the new books I have. I really need to, you know, stop buying books until I have finished the ones I've gotten. but really, the first three are the ones that I would have gotten anyway. There the books that would have not eated for a week just to get them.

                Synopsis
Atlanta has become the battlefield between humans and demons. All her life, Evalle Kincaid has walked the line between the two. Her origins unknown, she’s on a quest to learn more about her past—and her future.
     
When a demon claims the life of a young woman in a terrifying attack and there’s no one else to blame, Evalle comes under suspicion. Now she’s on a deadly quest for her own survival and she must prove her innocence or pay the ultimate price.
     
But saving herself is the least of her problems if she doesn’t stop the coming apocalypse. The clock is ticking and Atlanta is about to catch fire...

      my Thoughts (review)
A group of warriors from the Celtic times and more so, at least this one is about Evalle who happens to be an Alterant, which is a being that cane change into a beast. Problem is they have trouble turning back, so it’s forbidden.
     
But that’s not the only problems she has to face in this book, first she has to help the group find a stone that only shows itself to the one that can wield it.  And even though that’s what the whole book is about, a stone, and its powers.
     
So she gets stuck with Strom, a good looking guy that has his own dark secrets but for all knowing in this book he’s to investigate a bunch of demons and Evilla, since her boss wants her locked away just ‘cause she’s what she is. But Storm doesn’t seem to be able to do that after he spends time with her. Seems his feeling for her may override everything.
     
And then there’s the chick that the stone will show itself too, but it’s not that important, just that she’s there and all.

I loved it; really it’s one of the first books that I have picked up and have absolutely loved straight on the bat. Especially since it’s not what I normally truly enjoy. It’s got a lot more to do with the outside, the construction of the world, and yet there was just enough about the people that kept me enjoying. It wasn’t overly spoken about, what everything was, was written in a way that was both simple and easy and quick. Not paragraph after paragraph of reading what things where when all you really want is to know what they are about to say.

This was a book that will go through the time. Or it will for me. It’s also one of those book that has a need for you to read the next one, but it’s not so high that you can’t hold off, can’t wait patiently until it comes out and when you know it’s about to hit the shelf, you end up hovering. ‘Cause it’s then that you want it, then when you have to read it. And there that good that you have no problems going without food for the week just to get it (not saying that’s what you would actually do, just that there good).
