The Fireside

This evening I created a playlist comprised of music I oft listen to while writing, especially The Kalvel Chronicles. I usually put on entire albums, but here is a 'greatest hits' (so far....) of some of the music I listen to, and favourite tracks. I hope, as well providing some great music, you get a 'feel' for the world I'm creating here. Consider this a sneak peek.

It's been a while since I've given an update post...so guess what? Here's one!

Edge of Eternity, the third and final book in Ken Follett's Century  Trilogy will be released in fall 2014. This is the North American (and also Canadian) cover artwork. More details to come. Looks good, I've got the other two books in hardback and the same design style. Great to see it match!

This is a few days late, but earlier this week season three of Boardwalk Empire  is out to buy on DVD & blu-ray, just in time for season 4 to start on HBO. While not one of my favorite shows, I do enjoy it & recommend it. Give it a shot. 

First and foremost, I like a story the most. I enjoy action and special effects if there's a need for it and they fit in with the story being told. With that in mind, let me look at TV DVD collection.  Battlestar Galactica Firefly Dexter House  Lost Mad Men The Tudors On my list of ones to get : Breaking Bad Game of Thrones (already watch but don't own) Homeland  The Newsroom Sherlock (already watch but don't own) So as you can see, I quite like drama TV. I also really like some drama films, but lately TV has been do good, you can don't have to go to the theatre to find a good story. On my list of ones to get, they will most likely be blind buys due to the overwhelming reception I've heard from friends with similar tastes, & critics (those who I agree with).  Interest on Netflix On Netflix, I've discovered a really good underrated show; well underrated in comparison to some of the others I've me...

  Another Wheel of Time book down! This one had the most twists and turns in it so far. And, this book was completely new to me. Check out my review...
