My March.

It's been a busy month for me. March has been taken up with edits--edits on The Bone Cup, final round, book 6 of The Archangel Chronicles; talking with Bottom Drawer Press about my forthcoming release with them, Mythica, for which edits are due at the end of month thereabouts; doing the final round of fixing stuff up on book 9 of The Archangel Chronicles so I can get it to my lovely beta.

In between, I've had some family concerns. My father's health, I've discovered, is deteriorating. Then my mother had two falls, a few days apart. And I've been dealing with incredible back pain that has made writing/reading/doing anything quite painful. It hasn't been a happy month on the health front.

But there are words. There's always words. Words in my head that yearn to be put down onto a document. Words that will be books, stories, tales. Words that are few in number right now, but they will breed and multiply and the tales will take shape and evolve. I'm so happy that I can write, even if it is only a paragraph at a time right now.

I've read some great books, too, at least lying down I can read, thank god for small mercies! And I've been reading news articles and such on the internet, getting my righteous anger on as regards Australian politics.

Of course, there's also telly. My shows that I can't miss are Vikings, Supernatural, So You Think You Can Dance Australia, The Project, Grand Designs, Would I Lie To You, The Last Leg, and soon, Game of Thrones. And then there was True Detective, and I ate that up like it was the most gorgeous, delicious, perfect food. Never, ever have I found Matthew McConaughey so attractive as I did in that show. Movies to see soon--300: Rise of an Empire (starring long time favourite of mine, Hans Matheson); Noah. There's a whole post coming about why I want to see Noah and it involves the Archangel books.

Anyhoo, that's where I am right now. Soon, there'll be more. Soon. But for right this minute...

Link of the Now: Budget Bytes--delicious food, gorgeous recipes, on a low budget. YUM.

Sounds like your March has been a handful. I do hope the health issues improve all around. I'm debating whether to purchase the episodes of True Dectective individually, or just wait until a dvd set comes out and then watch it all at once - I definitely want to see that one. Thanks for the link for Budget Bytes - I found a recipe for sesame chicken for tonight's dinner. :)

It really has. It's certainly been a lot going on all at once! Re True Detective, I'd get the box and watch them in one hit. Seeing it week to week was great, but I think it'd have a lot more effect seeing it as one long movie. I certainly intend to buy the box and do that myself.

It's a great site! She's got a raspberry chipotle chicken that is just *amazing*. It was so good
