The new Jane Eyre movie

Jane Eyre is one of my all-time favorite books, so I was eagerly anticipating the most recent film adaptation, especially as the trailer looked rather promising. Unfortunately, this movie is in limited release and won’t be playing in my area. Bummer. Guess I'll have to wait for the DVD. I am not happy about that! :(

Making Progress

The first draft of BV, my vampire novel, is coming along. Today, I’ve just passed the 100-page mark—YAY! Although it’s not really a third of the novel, (I never know how long my books are going to be until they’re finished.) it’s nice to see that three-digit number at the top of the page—it’s a small victory of sorts.

Routine

After two weeks of fighting the flu, I may just now have a handle on it! Instead of coughing all the time, I’m only coughing half the time. Hurray! I’m finally feeling good enough to go back to my good old routine of daily writing followed by an hour-long walk. The only changes to my routine are my new sneakers: they’re high performance toning shoes, and they’re kicking my butt. :/

Progress

Despite being sick with the flu, I still managed to do a bit of work this week. My new vampire novel, let’s call it BV for now, is progressing nicely. I do have to say that getting back into the story was relatively easy. Yay for that! Also, I’ve sent out SPECIAL DELIVERY, a science fiction adventure, to one of my beta readers for comments. Once I receive the input from the beta reader I'll be giving the book one last read and tweaking, and then hopefully it will be good to go.

As Filhas Do Rei

Great news, the Portuguese version of The King’s Daughters—As Filhas do Rei—is out! Yay! The publisher is Saida de Emergencia, who previously published the first book of the Amir series as part of their T.E.E.N. collection. This one, however, seemed to have been released for the mainstream market. I wonder if it’s because of the sex scene….

Also, for those of you who don’t know, both The Princes of the Golden Cage and The King’s Daughters are now available on the Kindle—those links will take you to their respective pages on Amazon.com. :)
