Well I've been lazy

Hello to whoever still reads this. I have been lazy I will admit and nearly forgotten this blog. I have still been writing and reading though. I put out a novella a couple of weeks ago called The Answer and have half a dozen shorts to novellas waiting to be read over and put up. Time has been at a premium due to travel and some other issues but I really should be finding more time to write and I am going to do so.

That out of the way, I have read some really great fiction recently. Horns by Joe Hill was fantastic, one of the better horror/thrillers I have read. Joe Hill really makes you engage and relate to the characters, both good and bad, while telling a compelling story. The other book, or omnibus should I say, I have read was called Wool. This is actually a collection of five novellas or novellettes of a post apocalyptic world and the people remaining that are trying to survive. This may sound like a story that has been told a lot of late but Wool takes a different spin on things I would say and really grabbed me.

I am hoping to start my next story this week, all being well.

Take care all.
