A quiet week

There I was thinking to myself ‘I think I want a quiet week’. So, why is it that when I hibernate the rest of the world goes bonkers? In the week where I didn’t turn my computer on it seems that memes and challenges and online literary magazines have been launched!

So I’ll start with the biggun. If you are a regular here, you will remember that during the summer I risked life and limb to go and take some photos. I was annoyed with the traffic on two counts that day. For a start it made me too scared to cycle and then it kept getting in the way of my photos, but Derec has done a nice crop job on them I thought. So go here to see the first edition of Blag, an online Literary and Arts Magazine. And yes...

too. You’ll find many another blogger there and some pretty good articles too.

I think I’ve already mentioned that Seamus over at Shameless Words has a new collaborative writing project up and running, but there is a new part, so go here to see that.

And then Maht at Moon Topples is doing something called Phoctober. He’s going to take lots of picture posts during October and he has challenged us fellow bloggers to join in too. My camera has been a bit neglected these last few weeks, so I may just chuck it in the bag and have a bit of an attempt... or I might cheat! Is that bad?

Oh and I finally sent Coven of One onto the next leg of its Book Tour. It hasn’t gone too far, just outside of Paris, but it is now with Sam over at Sam’s Spot, so there should be a new review up soonish and then who knows where it will go next.

And then it seems to have been a bit of a slow writing week. I managed a paragraph and a bunch of orange post its. I’ve renamed the main character of the story, very long short story, mmm, whatever it’s going to be and I’ve tried to map out where the story is going to go. The criticism last week was very good so now all I need is some time with it. It’s growing in my head, but it isn’t jumping out onto the page yet.

Oh and the boots have started to come out, just the red and green ones so far, but soon it will be time for heating and the big black jackboots with stripy tights and then the hibernation will start for real. I quite like winter really.

Coven of One

Dorcas Fleming is a hegewitch of many talents, some of which not even she is aware of. When she graduates from Summerlands College on the feast of Samahain, none is more surprised than she to learn that her task lies far in the heathen south. Far from the comfort of her Coven, in a land that fears witches, she alone is faced with discovering the curse of Porthaveland.

Kate Bousfield’s first book, a mysterious tale of Pagan festivals, witchery and many a cup of tea drags the reader in without a second thought. Dorcas’s world is filled with humour and tender moments and the reader can easily relate to the characters. Coven of One hooked me from the first to the last page and apparently there is more to come. So if you haven’t read Coven of One, I thoroughly recommend you let a little purpleness into your life.

And now that I have entered Dorcas’s realm I’m passing her on to Sam who can be found at Sam’s Spot. Enjoy the ride Sam.
