Without further ado… Here is the breakfast scene that never was from MOONLIGHT. I was bummed this scene had to go, but sometimes it’s the right thing for the book… In the end, she was right and I wrote a new scene where they stopped for donuts and it allowed me to have it in Adam’s point of view and we can feel his uneasiness with the wolf’s aggression and possessiveness toward Lana. The night before, he’d touched her hand and discovered Lana, a jaguar and therefore enemy of his Pack was his mate. I liked how it brought out the West Side Story feel of the werewolves versus the jaguars, but my editor at the time wanted to know how this “mate thing” was affecting Adam. Originally, I had this scene the next morning after Lana had shifted into a jaguar. In the case of MOONLIGHT, I ended up deleting a scene and writing a new one near the beginning. If you’re lucky, a good editor will see beyond the scenes that are already there, to see what might make the book stronger. The answer sounds wishy-washy, but the truth is, yes and no. One of the big questions most authors get is, did your editor make you change your book once you signed the contract? ![]() Moonlight – Director’s Cut – aka Deleted Scene ![]()

Brief Summary of Book: Heart of a Lion: A Lone Cat’s Walk Across America by William Stolzenburg ![]() ![]() ![]() I remember proudly finishing my first short story ever in the first grade: it had plot, dialogue and a twist! (Yes, I was quite the Margot Tenenbaum-minus the eyeliner and creepy brotherly love.) I even folded the pages and stapled it to mimic grownupped-ness. This is evident in the breathless, tumbling dice style of storytelling that belongs to children. She has plenty of money but apart from that she struck me as a neglected child, whom despite receiving no attention, love or stability from her parents was basically a kind and happy person. Reading through reviews I was surprised how many found Eloise spoilt and horrible. It's quite a long book and one I think would make a good book to read alone for a child, there's so much to look at, each page is packed with illustrations. There are lots of French words and expressions that were an enjoyable addition to this story. We see no parents in this story only a nanny who seems kind and tolerant. ![]() Although reading this as an adult I became a little tired of the frenetic adventures of Eloise, I know as a child I would have enjoyed these humourous cartoon -like illustrations.Įloise is a young girl who does everything at top speed with the utmost enthusiasm accompanied by a stream of consciousness and several animal companions. ![]() I was lucky enough to find a 1958 hardback edition of this book in a charity shop recently. ![]() ![]() But all does not go according to plan: over the course of the vacation, secrets come to light, old and new humiliations are experienced, childhood rivalries resurface, and ancient wounds are exacerbated. ![]() ![]() The sunlit island, its mountains and beaches, its tapas and tennis courts, also promise an escape from the tensions simmering at home in Manhattan. The Vacationers offers all the delights of a fluffy, read-it-with-sunglasses-on-the-beach read, made substantial by the exceptional wit, insight, intelligence and talents of its author.”- People (four stars)Īn irresistible, deftly observed novel from the New York Times-bestselling author of All Adults Here and This Time Tomorrow- about the secrets, joys, and jealousies that rise to the surface over the course of an American family’s two-week stay in Mallorca.įor the Posts, a two-week trip to the Balearic island of Mallorca with their extended family and friends is a celebration: Franny and Jim are observing their thirty-fifth wedding anniversary, and their daughter, Sylvia, has graduated from high school. ![]() ![]() And while Cate is a perfectly serviceable narrator, a lot is going on that doesn’t involve her. It’s not that I don’t love Cate - I do! - but much of her story is preoccupied with her heterosexual love interest who, in addition to being heterosexual, almost seems incidental to much of the plot. Now was, naturally, the time to hear Maura’s story from her point of view. ![]() And since I have the bad habit of not reading about books before I have them in hand (so as not to spoil them, understand), I assumed (wrongly) that Cate Cahill’d had her chance at narration. ![]() Part of what drew me to Wicked in the first place was the lesbian content - one of the few things I read about the book before diving in was that one of the main characters was queer. After Wicked‘s climactic ending - involving a serious choice and the chaos of discovering manipulation - I was sure that the Cahill sisters would have another thrilling adventure. ![]() I was more than a little excited to pick up my copy of Star Cursed, the sequel to Born Wicked and book two of The Cahill Witch Chronicles by Jessica Spotswood. ![]() ![]() ![]() Trapped in The Hoop, a futuristic world where jobs are scarce and excitement non-existent, Halo sets out to see the galaxy any way she can and to rewrite her destiny.

With a brand new introduction by Kieron Gillen ( The Wicked & The Divine), lovingly restored and beautifully coloured art, original scripts, and bonus content, this is the ultimate edition of Moore and Ian Gibson’s feminist space opera from the pages of 2000 AD. ![]() The ultimate edition of Alan Moore and Ian Gibson’s The Ballad of Halo Jones is available to pre-order now! ![]() ![]() With that not being enough for poor Rielle, she also has a voice in her head, a man speaking to her, coaxing her through her life-threatening trials. In love with Audric who is betrothed to her childhood best friend, Rielle is thrown into a world of danger, love and consequences. However, Rielle’s story is not as one-dimensional as it seems.

Not so much a sequel as an extension, Mysteries of Thorn Manor fixes all that, serving as a charming, utterly cozy coda to the original and as its own frothy, romantic romp tempered by moments of genuine depth and complexity as relationship dynamics are deepened and snippets of Thorn family history are revealed. And while the original novel’s ending does, in its way, feel completely right for the story Rogerson was telling, it’s also a bit more abrupt-and features a lot more loose ends-than some might have expected. Novella Mysteries of Thorn Manor offers just such an unexpected delight to fans of Margaret Rogerson’s standalone fantasy Sorcery of Thorns-a basically perfect story that featured everything from sentient, angry books and warrior librarians to a deliciously slow-burn romance and a prissy demon familiar who sometimes happened to turn into a cat. It’s a rare gift when you get the chance as a reader to revisit the world of a story you loved, but that you thought was closed and finished forever. ![]() |
