The Fireside

There's a nasty storm coming up...are you ready? Details found:  http://www.theweathernetwork.com/news/storm_watch_stories3&stormfile=Hurricane_Sandy__A__mammoth__storm__27_10_2012?ref=stormwatch_home

The cover for Daniel Abraham's third out of five books in the Dagger and Coin  series has been revealed. The book is called The Tyrant's Law  (formerly The Poisoned Sword ) and is coming in May 2013.

This is a bit late because my copy of the season arrived today!   Mad Men  Season 5 is now out to buy on DVD / blu-ray. Good for those who have all the other seasons, and / or those who don't have AMC. "What about us?" Netflix users ask, well I'd say season 5 should be on around Christmas....?  The show is still going strong (some say this was the best season yet) and no surprise - it's one of TV's best dramas, and shows overall.   

I enjoy listening to music. I like to listen to it when I'm on the bus for a long time, through headphones (not 'earbuds', headphones) when I'm in bed not reading, not sleeping and not with "company". This post is about what music I usually have on while I'm writing my book.

I won a book off of Goodreads!

The Hedge Knight As you may well be aware by now, I can't wait to read The Winds Of Winter , the next book (Book Six) in George R.R. Martin's Ice and Fire  series. It won't be coming this year. Or next. But here are some other things by George R.R. Martin to whet your appetite...

Walking Dead  returns tonight...season 3 starts with the episode called 'Seed'. Lots to look forward to - Micchone. The Governor.

Stephen King's new Dark Tower book, Wind Through the Keyhole , is coming out (in the format I have the rest of the series in) on Feb. 26, 2013. 

Today I was at the comic store, and I noticed some Walking Dead  releases I'll report on....

I'm bringing something "new" to the table with my book series. What I'm calling the "interlogue". Let me explain.

Up here in the Great North is Thanksgiving weekend. Today is my sister's birthday (Happy Birthday!) The weekend will be a fun and eventful one. - Today: my boss at work had a retirement luncheon, so we headed to a nearby pub to celebrate. This evening and tonight is my sister's Birthday dinner, cake and presents. - Sunday: Thanksgiving dinner at a friends' place with the family. Always good times. Aside from that, I'm hoping to finish the book I'm reading, The Girl Who Played With Fire . I want  to finish by the end of Monday. I'm in no hurry, but that's my goal. Following that book I'll start reading The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet's Nest . Also, I want to do some more writing for my novel, A Climb of Chaos . I want to write a chapter (an 'interlogue' for a future book) work on another, and possibly start another  one; as well as jot down any random ideas that come to mind. Finally, I plan to start outlining my short story that I pl...

Most likely my most anticipated materialistic item in the forseeable future, is Book Six of Ice and Fire , Winds of Winter by George R.R. Martin. Wouldn't you believe it, I have a slight update...

No, this is not me creating posts to get higher numbers, either from visitors or number of posts I have made. I made an entry a while ago (  http://insurrbution.blogspot.ca/2012/09/new-editions-for-wheel-of-time.html  ) and mentioned then that some of the later books don't have ISBN #s yet or release dates. Well, each time I find one I'll update the older post and make a 'reminder' (like THIS entry) pointing you there. With that said.... There is now a listing for Crown of Swords  - it's coming June 18, 2013 in the new trade paperback format. See the Wheel of Time  post for the ISBN, as well as info about the first six books.
