zu meinem Debütroman "Edward Corby - Das Erwachen"

30. Was fällt dir beim Schreiben am leichtesten? Was kostet dich Überwindung?

Anfang und Ende. Probleme macht für gewöhnlich der MIttelteil. Besonders wenn es mal wieder zu kurz wird und ich verzweifelt nach ner Methode suche auf meine Seitenzahl zu kommen. Oder man mittendrin merkt, dass der Plot gar nicht funktioniert und man alles neu schreiben muss.

One broch, two millennia, three murders. ‘Thicker Than Water’ is a compelling new murder mystery set in northern Scotland.

The fictional Sarclet Castle on the east coast of Caithness south of Wick is the focal point for much of the story and close to the scene of three murders. It is partly based on the real Castle of Mey on the north coast of Caithness, shown here.

The image shows a view over grass to a stone wall with a gateway in its right-hand end. Beyond it is a complex stone castle rising to different levels and with lots of chimneys, castellations and bartizans. Sunlight is coming from the right, casting much of the castle in shadow. The sky is partly cloudy. The front cover of ‘Thicker Than Water’ is shown in the top left corner.


Difficile de parler de La Menace de @Tackian sans trop en révéler… Je n’avais lu que la quatrième de couverture et la surprise a été totale. Le thème, original et inattendu, m’a fascinée. L’intrigue est tendue, maîtrisée, sans aucun superflu. L’écriture est directe, fluide, toujours au service de l’efficacité. Un thriller percutant, intelligent et impossible à lâcher. Si vous aimez être surpris, foncez mais ne cherchez pas à trop en savoir avant de le lire.

Been meaning to post books as I finish them. Here’s the most recent read.

“Driving the Deep” by Suzanne Palmer

2nd of 4 in the Finder series. Science fiction wherein a spaceship repo man has to find and save his kidnapped scientist friends from a secret research base in the oceans under the ice of Enceladus. Roughly speaking. Vaguely Stainless Steel Rat vibes, but modern.

Enjoyed this and the first in the series (“Finder”). This one really nails the ending, so extra points.

A man’s hand holds a book titled "Driving the Deep" by Suzanne Palmer, with a library barcode visible. A chonky, sleeping cat is resting on his lap, partially out of view behind the book; a blurred background shows a cozy room.

This week, Victoria Nations and Premee Mohamed told us tales of community and little guys (er, small organisms) that win! Sweet and touching, or utterly horrifying! It depends on your POV. Watch and decide! We can all agree, though, that guest host Sam Rebelein is a very welcome presence. @VictoriaNations @premeesaurus https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3BBQLNw9Kk

Oh my gosh, everyone, did you know that if you have a card, you can enter this big building full of books, look at all the (and magazines and newspapers) you want, and then they will let you take whatever books you want home with you for a couple of weeks?

For free!

I did forget to reserve the new Carl Hiassen, though. I ran out of time being distracted! I'm gonna see if I can reserve it online.

I usually don't have time to browse after my meetings at the library, but this one ended early. So, some books that caught my eye got to come home with me! Yay!
