The Rue Stone’s birthday blitz is starting to get some fab interest from these great bloggers!
Author: janetstockwriter
I am a self-published writer of mixed genre short works, I have a fantasy novella out now, The Rue Stone is book 1 of 3 of The Dark Stranger series. I am also working on my first novel. This is set in the 13th century, in Lincoln, and is the story of Benedict, a young boy who arrives at Lincoln castle with a burning ambition to become the most famous minstrel of his age.
A Classic of Children’s Literature
‘The creative adult is the child who has survived.’ ― Ursula K. Le Guin
Saw this quote today and it reminded me of the first book I read that really resonated with me – way before Harry Potter – a boy Ged comes of age in the classic ‘A Wizard of Earthsea.’
If you haven’t read it, give it a try.
Funny World
Well, although its stating the obvious, it’s been one hell of a funny year so far! Have I done loads of writing while I’ve been at home – erm…no. But I do feel guilty about that so I’m picking up the pace again. I’m still ploughing on with The Little servant – it does take a long time to write a novel you know – :-), and I’m hoping to book a blog tour for The Rue Stone in August, so if you haven’t read it yet, now would be a good time.
Its available on Amazon as a paperback and an ebook.
I’m also looking for a short story competition to enter, it’s about time I did some ‘new’ writing. I’ll keep you posted.
Birthday Musings
Do the writers amongst you out there, write every day? It’s my birthday today but I promised myself I would still do some writing today :-) I’ve just done one chapter and done a bit of research into inns in medieval times. A couple of hours well spent I think, even today!
Hello, I’m Back
Hello, I’m back after my little break, and I’m in the thick of it, working on The Little Servant. I’m attending the East Midlands Writer’s Conference in March here in Lincoln, and I have just submitted of some extracts of my book to be considered for an agent 1-2-1 review there. It’s not guaranteed though, so keep your fingers crossed for me.
