Update!

Hi, and sorry for the silence that seemed to take over my blog for a while...

In terms of TBFTND, things are going well: the sequel is starting to look like a book, and I've one or two ideas for a third instalment!

I had an idea for a totally separate book a couple of days ago - not fantasy this time, more a YA chick-lit style. It's only 10,000 words long and still pretty sketchy, but it's fun to work on all the same! If I become confident that I'm going somewhere with the story, I'll upload it to Authonomy and put the synopsis on here.

I read a few great books while on holiday, here's a selection:

Velvet by Mary Hooper is a great YA historical fantasy with a spooky undercurrent.
The third book of the Numbers trilogy by Rachel Ward is a great finale, darker than the first two of the series.
Starters by Lissa Price is a great futuristic novel, very fast-paced and original.
The sci-fi novel 0.4 by Mike Lancaster is a clever concept and written in an intriguing way.
Echo Burning by Lee Child is gripping with immaculate, rich descriptions, and I imagine it appealing to many people.

Until next time,
Isabel :)
