I may be a bit behind the times, but I've only just finished the fourth Twilight book. I must say I love the saga very much! It’s way more dialogue-driven than my book, which is interesting. I made an Edward Cullen/Robert Pattinson wallpaper, which you can download here. Also see my comments about the popularity of Edward on my blog here.

Talon did not advance to the next round of the 2009 Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award, but I am advancing with my work on Stephen Thompson’s edit. I have the privilege of knowing another freelance editor who enjoys fantasy, who is also doing a comb-through it for me. Soon it’s going to be so tight and polished it will be ready! A small press has shown interest in publishing it. You can check out Wombat Books here.

I’m more than half way through a substantial edit of my novel by Stephen Thompson of essteemedia. I have also cut the word count down to 150,000 so I could enter Talon in the 2009 Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award.
