Note: Comments closed here. Please visit the original post.
This week, starting today August 6th, through next Thursday, August 13th, all four volumes of my series The Book Of Lost Doors will be on sale for 99 cents each.
Please help me spread the word!
I picked up Misha Burnett’s latest installment of The Book of Lost Doors series, entitled The Worms of Heaven last night and I noticed at the back he had included a chapter of Acknowledgements. I went there to have a read and, lo and behold, there was my name! Right there in black and white!
So I thought what better excuse could there be to promote this fantastic series of books which I am thoroughly enjoying? I’m not one to give out praise willy-nilly and so you can take it from me that if I say a novel great then I really, truly recommend it.
You can read my glowing review of the first novel in the series, Catskinner’s Book here and the second book, Cannibal Hearts here.
Thank you so much, Misha for thinking of me. 😀
Cannibal Hearts by Misha Burnett
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I really can’t say enough good things about Mr. Burnett’s style. Cannibal Hearts is every bit as thrilling as its predecessor, Catskinner’s Book. Once again, the author’s original concepts impress and delight as the horrors abound. His attention to detail and the depth of his characters–James and his mostly non-human friends as they exist undetected for what they are in the real world–continue to ensure a read that I couldn’t wait to get my hands on every time I had a spare moment to myself.
Hands down, this is one of the best sci-fi series I’ve ever read. I can’t wait for the next installment!
Catskinner’s Book by Misha Burnett
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Full of non-stop action, I loved the twists and turns as the story of James and Catskinner unfolds. This well written sci-fi novel by Misha Burnett is set in a realistic world into which a reader can escape. Alive with imaginative creatures, Catskinner’s Book is an original that I had a hard time putting down.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a great sci-fi story, and I couldn’t wait to start into Book Two – Cannibal Hearts.
You know that feeling you get when you’re reading a book that’s so good–you’re enjoying the world and love the characters so much–that you don’t want it to end? You approach the last few chapters and you’re divided – do you hurry up and read it because it’s so exciting? Or do you savour it slowly like a fine glass of Chardonnay? It’s a dilemma I think we all deal with at least once or, if we’re lucky, many times.
I’m currently reading a book like that. The book is catskinner’s book by Misha Burnett. If you’re not already following his blog and/or haven’t started reading his novels, you should. You can find them here: http://www.amazon.com/Misha-Burnett/e/B008MQ8W4K I’ll be writing a review as soon as I’m finished.
But this is only half the reason for this post.
When I finished writing my novel, The Great Dagmaru, I was miserable. Like that feeling when I’ve finished reading a novel I enjoyed, times ten. It was like my children had left home and didn’t need me anymore. I walked around with a dark cloud over my head for a week. It was so dark, in fact, I think I heard thunder. I wonder if this is part of the reason it’s taking me so long to edit it… I don’t want it to end.
So in my own insane way of undertaking more than I can really handle, I’m seriously entertaining the notion of beginning the sequel. I was going to write one anyway; I wasn’t going to start it until NaNoWriMo in November. In some convoluted way, maybe adding more to my workload will increase my productivity.
I need a way to get past this psychological block, however I do it.
