The Return, Teaser XVII

Posted by Melissa on May 10, 2013 in Books, Writing |

Another chapter is done!  I’m getting super excited because the third book is getting very close to being finished.  I have about four more chapters to go and much of the end is already written.  The only problem is that I have scenes written in different places that are completely out of chronological order. So [...]

The Return, Teaser XVI

Posted by Melissa on April 22, 2013 in Books, Writing |

I did it again!  Yay!  I finished another chapter!  Chapter 15 was a tough chapter to tackle.  It’s a very powerful one where Chalice has to tell her friend, Sieren, to do something that she knows Sieren will not want to do.  The situation really puts Chalice is a hard spot, where not even her [...]

The Return, Teaser XV

Posted by Melissa on April 19, 2013 in Books, Writing |

Another day, another chapter.  If I keep going at this rate, the book will be finished in no time.  Keeping my fingers crossed I don’t get stuck anywhere like I did on chapter eleven.  In this chapter, chapter fourteen, the characters come across the charred ruins of a village, which has a major impact on [...]

The Return, Teaser XIV

Posted by Melissa on April 18, 2013 in Books, Writing |

I can’t believe how fast I whipped this chapter out.  I’m a writing binge right now, I guess.  From here on out, I think finishing this book will be quick as I already have much of the later chapters already written.  This is my curse.  For some reason, I cannot write in chronological order.  Scenes [...]

The Return, Teaser XIII

Posted by Melissa on April 15, 2013 in Books, Writing |

This teaser is from part two of the last chapter, which I had to cut in two because it was just too long.  The following excerpt is thus from the end of chapter 12, a chapter in which Chalice goes to find her uncle and free him from the prison that binds him.  In the [...]

The Return, Teaser XII

Posted by Melissa on April 15, 2013 in Books, Writing |

For the past few weeks, work on The Return has been slow.  This is for several reasons.  First, I’ve been very busy at my day job and second, I have to admit, I did get stuck on this chapter.  It was one of those chapters that I wasn’t particularly looking forward to writing.  Not sure [...]

Clockwork Princess

Posted by Melissa on March 24, 2013 in Books, Reviews |

Have you ever finished a book and felt like you’d lost a close friend?  That is exactly the way I felt when I finished Clockwork Princess, the final installment of the Infernal Devices trilogy. Out of all of the Shadowhunter series, I have to say that this trilogy is by far the best.  I didn’t [...]

Black Books

Posted by Melissa on February 21, 2013 in Books, Random Thoughts |

If you thought Borders was bad at selling books, you’ve got to watch this!  My sister just introduced me to this show and I have to admit it’s hysterically funny.  It’s a sitcom that aired back in 2000 to 2004, starring Irish comedian Dylan Moran who plays Bernard Black.  Black is a bookshop owner in [...]

Skiing Brighton Style

Posted by Melissa on December 23, 2012 in Books, News |

My nephew, Ian, and his friend, Andrew, just recently landed ski instructor jobs at Brighton Ski Resort.  To celebrate their new employment, they did the Oppa Gangnam dance in the lodge, changing the words to: “Skiing Brighton Style.”  What’s skiing Brighton style, you ask.  I’ll show you some pictures. Here’s a totally bitchin’ one of [...]
