The Blurbs

I’ve not talked about the blurbs we’ve had in for BLOOD & FEATHERS yet – mainly because I can’t quite believe them and have to stop and pinch myself every time I start. But I figure I’m going to have to stop pinching soon, because my arm’s getting kind of sore, so.

Anyway, for your very delectation, here they are – and I’m so grateful to all the lovely people who took the time to read the book and to give us a few words…

“A hell of a ride, but heaven to read: eerie, compelling and very funny.” -Michael Marshall Smith

“It’s a challenge to take concepts older than the calendar and make them seem new. Louise Morgan has done just that. How to describe this, her debut novel?  Bloody Heavenly!”- Guy Adams

“Dark, enticing and so sharp the pages could cut you, Blood and Feathers is a must-read for any fan of the genre.”- Sarah Pinborough

“A storming debut! Lou Morgan writes with confidence, style and verve. Who would have thought that going to Hell could be so much fun? A must read.”  - Mike Shevdon

“Dark, surreal and wickedly funny, Lou Morgan’s reimagining of the war between Heaven and Hell mixes angels, alcohol and ammunition to serve up a joy of a read.” - Tom Pollock

Missed

Ha! Yes. I’m still alive. This is me, running in and waving before I run out again, hands over my head to avoid the flying shrapnel.

It’s been a ludicrously busy few weeks (hence my notable absence) which has included – but not been limited to… [deep breath]

copy edits, Clarke Award, Time Attack racing, holiday, writing stuff, Kapow!

[and collapse]

All of which I will talk about, at least a bit, and including the now-traditional “What I Read On My Holiday” post (spoilers: will include some Dark Tower. Shocking, I know).

However, none of this is going to happen today because of, well, stuff.

So instead, I leave you with the awesome Awesome People Reading tumblr.

Hand me that flak jacket, would you?

Burn it Down

Chances are, if you’ve been here before, you know I’m a Linkin Park fan. I’ve made no secret of the fact “When They Come For Me” from the A Thousand Suns album (my favourite, although I know it’s a divisive one) was hugely important to the writing of BLOOD & FEATHERS, so a new album looming on the horizon is a very big deal. And the first single will always get my attention…

As an aside, anyone with a Pendulum / LP-fandom crossover (like me) will either love or hate this.
