Second Meandering ...
Got a retreat this week, and I'm teaching a class on foreshadowing in the Harry Potter series. Once I got into preparing my presentation, all I wanted to do was go back and read the books!Did you know Scholastic, in celebration of the 15th anniversary, has a new set of covers?
What do you think? Since some of mine are falling apart, I mind need to buy new ones. Maybe.
Third Meandering ...
I'm part of a cool promotion to celebrate the release of Drawn Into the Mist--includes a chance to win a Kindle HD7. It's also available on preorder for only $.99.After a battle with a small coven of vampires at the homecoming dance, Chuck Mc Williams is confident and prepared to use his newly found magical powers.
However, Kelsey Llewellyn, Chuck's date from the dance and an undercover elfin vampire hunter, has disappeared back to faerie. The vampires marked her as their next acolyte and sapped her elfin defenses. Returning to the village of her birth she is protected while the elfin elders work to restore her powers.
Chuck is confused and emotionally desolate. When the vampires make an attempt on his life he decides his only option is to go to faerie for help and his own protection.
Doug, a vampire who owes Chuck a favor, agrees to send him to the land between the human world and faerie by magically drawing him into a painting of a castle. He warns Chuck that he has drawn other things into the picture which will both help and hinder his efforts.
Adventure begins again for Chuck as he is drawn into the mist.
Fourth Meandering ...
You ready for the 20th Annual International Talk Like A Pirate Day on Saturday? Argh!
What's in it for you to celebrate, you might ask?
What's in it for you to celebrate, you might ask?
Hint:
Will you get a dozen donuts free by dressing as a pirate on Saturday?
That's cool you're teaching the class. Not sure about new covers. Sometimes the new ones are better than the old ones.
ReplyDeleteWhen the original cover art for each book was released, fans would go over them and discuss what hints they might give about what was to come in the book.
DeleteI'd like to sit in on that class of yours!
ReplyDeleteIt's a hands on class. I tough on the topic and then turn the time over to the students to actually do some planning for their own stories and then got over a couple at the end.
DeleteCool you're teaching a class using the Harry Potter books. I want to read the series again too.
ReplyDeleteMethinks I will begin when I finish the audiobook I'm listening to now.
DeleteNever knew they were making new HP covers, awesome you are teaching a class too.
ReplyDeleteSee, me either, until I went looking for a picture of the entire series for this post! lol
DeleteI love the new HP covers. I bet your class is a hit!
ReplyDelete*crosses fingers*
Deletearrr matey those covers are so different! See? I combined two meanderings! Good luck in your class and let us know how it went!
ReplyDeleteWell done, me hearty! Love it!
DeleteGreat meanderings. I pre-ordered your anthology. I only read the first two Potter books and need to read the rest.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I hope you enjoy the stories. I love to read anthologies now.
DeleteCursed hunk of a Scotsman? How delightful!
ReplyDeleteAnd Philip's cover is quite nice!
That one's such a fun and funny story. Got some gripping scary part too.
DeleteWelp. I bought your book. I just really love the old ones. And I think the vampire book sounds interesting, although the names crack me up. Doug the vampire? Seriously? I thought talk like a pirate day was the 19th. My Hubs is always boasting that his birthday is on TLAPD.
ReplyDeleteNope. His is on the 19th. So he'll be talking like a pirate a whole day early...rofl
DeleteWait. I'm really not on crack. I don't know where I got that you said the 20th. Too much silliness today. So yes, you two apparently share a birthday with Hermione...:o)
DeleteAnd now I get to drive my possibly still not fixed car out of town to go pick up my son from the bus stop. There may just be a very long walk in my very near future. Wish me luck.
Congrats on your inclusion in the anthology. Drawn into the Mist sounds like fun. The new HP covers are pretty. Good luck with the class; re-reading old books sounds like the best sort of research!
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by, Nick.
