Angel tattoo designs are gaining popularity

Gambar
Angel tattoos are probably the most common designs for women worldwide. Angel tattoos can be versatile and may be used to create unique designs in a lot of different ways. Angels are thought to be one of the most beautiful heavenly creatures and represent different ideas to different individuals. Professional tattoo studios typically have a number of angel tattoos to pick from and each might possibly be altered into whatever design you'd like. Angels have represented beauty, purity, and spirituality in several different cultures throughout history. The character of a angel has often been employed to symbolize someone's transformation to a higher plane of existence, either physically, mentally, or spiritually. Most angel tattoos have a great amount of detail so the attractive nature associated with the design and style and the intricate aspects of a design can match the loveliness associated with the angels which have been depicted in literature and art. Angel tattoos are easily...

(This post needs a title...)

Hello hello, hello! Still here, still kicking about, avoiding the blank page and all that. A favourite truism of mine (heard as a sample on Ride's "Going Blank Again") goes, "even a stuffed clock tells the right time twice a day." So in that spirit I am blogging again after an extended hiatus. First, I have an interview for your perusal over at fellow author, Greg Mitchell's page. A caution for those of a less religious bent that one of the answers gets pretty religious, so bare with me. Well, I have some questions to answer, I will have a crack at one: The glorious Justine H . asks: "... How exactly did you come up with the idea for leers? Are leers able to fall in love?And where on the Half-Continent did you come up with such an epicly amazing character as Sebastipole (and his amazingly epic name?!)?!?!" Well, I think it came first with seeing something that made me think it would be "cool" to put a large box right on someone's ...

Yet Another Interview...

A small but excellent set of questions answered over at Ouroborusbooks . Thank you Mitchell Tierney for asking them.

Another interview , this time a transcript of a live recorded interview I did with the wondrous and warm Bec Stafford whilst attending Aussie Con 4/World Con 38 in Melbourne early in September. (THE FOLLOWING IS AN ANNOUNCEMENT FOR ADELAIDE RESIDENTS ONLY I'M AFRAID, sorry everyone else...) This Sunday 21st November at Dymocks , Rundle Mall, from about 2:15pm-ish onwards, myself and a collection of South Aussie YA authors & illustrators will be out in public. The attending authorial and draworial types include: Robyn Opie Malcolm Walker Claire Richards Greg Holdfeld Rosanne Hawke Ruth Starke Jane Jolly Don Henderson Janeen Brian Katrina Germein Dan McGuinness Ben Chandler Allayne Webster Robert Moore Elizabeth Hutchins Sally Heinrich Sean Williams Rebecca Burton Lauren Fuge Hope to see some Monster Blog locals there... :)

On and on I go...

First, I want to point you to an interview (yes, another one!) with Drew Bittner over at SFRevu for your perusal. There is also a glowing review at selfsame site also written by Mister Bittner, (WARNING: this is a little spoilery, so, if you have NOT read Factotum head over there at you own peril.) Now, the following was caused by but has only some connection with the comments previous about art being work or reaction. On I go... Dare I admit I actually have very little truck for the whole post-modern, "It's all the the eye of the beholder/ reader interpretation is supreme" thing . Reader reaction/participation is vital: I write very much to create a particular set of reactions in you all - of brand new vistas, of wonder, of adventure on an adult scale, of (I hope and strive) some small portion of the life-changing wonder I had when first reading LotR as a 12 year old. As an illustrator it always struck me that the intent of the creator and the reaction they are look...

An Interview to tide you all over.

We are getting closer and closer to Monster Blood Tattoo Book 3 / The Foundling's Tale Book 3 Factotum getting into your hands, but until then I hope this interview at The Enchanted Inkpot will tide folks over (just a little). Thanks to Ellen and her comrades for such great questions. Oh, and I hope you all will be happy to note that the next Half-Continent book is slowly forming even now... ... and there is a new poll , at last! (just over on the right)

Romanian Edition of Foundling

Shauki from Romania has sent me this add for the up-coming Romanian edition and I could not help but have a little show off of it. Very pleased too that Corint Junior (my Romanina publisher) have gone with the original cover. Not a big deal in the scheme of things, but I am very excited. Thank you Shauki ! Speaking of gratitude, Drew has handed in his review and interview to SFRevu so they are now officially "up" - for those of you who do not want to have even a brief outline of the plot of Lamplighter told to you, I would recommend you restricting yourself to the interview only. Cheers very muchly Drew and the SFRevu !
