Welcome!

Welcome to my newest blog.

I got to thinking (a dangerous thing, I know) and I realized that I should talk more about the books I read, hear about, etc. After all, my life is immersed in books. Just look at my house, bookcases everywhere. Look at my two jobs. . .teacher and bookseller. I mean, come on, might as well write about the stuff. But I don't want these particular ponderings to get lost in the main blog's world. That's for my internal stuff.

Plus, I would like a way to connect with other readers and writers. Create a community, if you will, where we can all just drop an idea into the hat and watch it spit out. Might as well use technology to our advantage. And by ideas, I'm not saying we need to give away our projects to the public at large. No, I mean experiences with books and stuff.

Besides, I figure that this could be a good way for me to find new authors that I can both enjoy and sell at the store alongside those I already do (you know who you are). lol

So, be in touch and let's get this party started!

Hi, Lynn!! Had a great time at lunch this week and thanks for the invite to the Google group. You probably don't know this, but I belong to about 10 Google groups, 40 Yahoo groups, 15 forums, and visit another 40 blogs every day, all mostly for Pagans and/or book addicts (that would be me!). I also belong to Goodreads (check out my Author Page if you belong and send me a Friend invite...my name at Goodreads is Laura Stamps).

So I was thrilled to see you not only have a book-lovers blog but also a Google group. This is going to be lots of fun!!

Okay, a little about me for your blog...35 of my novels and poetry books have been published by various publishers over the last 19 years. Currently, I write a series of magickal urban fantasy novels called "The Witchery Series." I just changed publishers this summer, so all the novels in this series will be republished by the new publisher, Trytium Publishing. The first novel from Trytium will be coming out this fall (October-ish). It is called "The Witches of Dixie: Book One of the Witchery Series." I'll have more news about this book on my website in the following months. In the meantime feel free to visit (http://www.KittyfeatherPress.blogspot.com). My cat and gardening poetry books are also on that site (published by Kittyfeather Press and Artemesia Publishing) as well as my series of poetry art prints (published by Haddad's Fine Arts, Inc.).

Now, what do I like to read? Dark urban fantasy novels (Jim Butcher, Lilith Santcrow, Charlaine Harris, etc.). Right now I am working through Tanya Huff's "Blood Books" series and absolutely loving it! I carry my very fat and very organized TBR list with me in my purse, so I'll have it handy if I should end up at a bookstore. And I am always looking for new authors to add to it in the dark urban fantasy genre. :)

Happy reading and many magickal blessings!
