Richard Laymon, anyone?

Writers' groups are a great place to learn about excellent writers!
That has been true for me at least.
I read Ressurection Dreams Saturday.
I can't wait to read his other books, all his other books!
His wife is still sending manuscripts to his publisher, according to one of Laymon's fans!
I mourn the lost of his brilliance, but am glad for the chance to read what is left.
I also read Micah. My first Anita Blake novel has me slightly hooked.
Slightly because if Laurell K. Hamilton doesn't fullfil the promise of a baby in her next book,
I'll be disappointed.
I am currently waiting for Christine Feehan's latest DRAKE SISTER novel.
I think that it is entitled Dangerous Tides and it is Libby's story.
Hopefully she will merge her dark series with this one by marrying a Drake to a Carpathian.
That would be an exciting read!

Talking is easier, but reading is best!

I said my first word at eight months and did not cease talking until
I read my first words at four.
I still talk alot, but I'd rather be reading!
Every genre fascinates me.
Recently, read Friday, I started Rachel Caine's Weather Warden's series at the behest of a friend.
She is an excellent writer, but a bit overwrought in her use of metaphors.
She is a little heavy handed. I'll admit to skimming and skipping to the end.
Some authors lose me quickly.
Anixous(sic) for more details I jumb ahead.
Caine is one of those authors.
Also I find that this method helps me to better follow the story.
Still I enjoyed an "Ill Wind" and "Heat Stroke".
David is definately my favorite character. He is very sympathic!
I'll have to reread Heat stroke before I can devel into Chill Factor.
I am really eager to read that book.
