Introducing THE ENCHANTED INKPOT

I'm excited to announce the launch of a new group blog in which I'm involved entitled THE ENCHANTED INKPOT. This blog was started by a group of writers on the blueboards with the focus on MG and YA fantasy novels. About half the founding members are published, the other half are pre-pubbed.

We will be doing author interviews, topics of the week such as 'Fantasy in Asia', 'Write What you Know' and 'The Wise Old Man: Characters and Cliche's' in addition to question & answers, book club, contests & giveaways.

We welcome all readers, writers and fans of MG and YA fantasy to visit and participate in conversations about the books we love.

I hope you go visit the site and join in:

I'm Launched.....eek!

Well, after months of thinking about it, changing my mind, wondering what the heck I would blog about (and even more confusing....who would even read it?) I've decided to launch my own blog. Which is potentially a fabulous opportunity to talk to myself (in print) whenever I want. But maybe someone, somewhere, will read it and want to talk too, and then things might really get interesting! So, if you're out there and feeling chatty - dive right in!


We went to see Prince Caspian, the movie, of the Narnia series this weekend. Though I loved the book The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe I have to say the talking animals thing in the movies always throws me. A bit much on the battle scenes too, but our friends loved the whole thing. What did you think?
