I’ve been steadily working on line edits as time slips by. I’m just over a quarter through Impatience and I must say its a slow process. The weird thing is I’m comfortable with that. Each page feels new again and when tweaked a little closer to finished. It’s very satisfying to see the page count click over.
I heard today all of the remaining Borders stores across Australia and New Zealand will soon be closing. I wonder if any new players will enter the book selling market or will online sales dominate?
I’m reading Conn Iggulden’s Wolf of the Plains, the story of Genghis Khan. I must admit I wasn’t sure if it would be my kind of book. Wow, was I wrong! It’s action packed and so real, makes me feel like I am there with the characters, amazing. Better yet it’s a trilogy!
A few weeks ago I won review of the month on www.thenile.com.au for my review of Kim Falconer’s Path of the Stray. Long story short, I have purchased 4 books for $19 as I won a $50 voucher (total cost $69). How cool is that!

Well done for winning the review competition.
Iggulden is good – the ‘Rome’ series is excellent too. There’s another series waiting for you.
I have so much to read right now… I think my list is over 10 books… eek…
Congrats on the win Jason. Did you like the book you reviewed? Perhaps you could post the review on your blog. I imagine that reviewing something would require considerable diplomacy and tact.
Hi Moss,
The book i reviewed is Kim Falconer’s Path of the Stray.. here is what I had to say about it:
Nothing beats a book that gets to you. Kim Falconer’s Path of the Stray grabbed my attention from the very first page and held it throughout. In fact, the second half seemed even more gripping. Wonderful locations, intriguing characters and a fast paced, multi-threaded plot works wonders. Kim’s ability to engage the reader sweeping their feet out from under them with many twist and turns left me guessing what would come next. If you love that feeling of submersion into a new, rich and vibrant world buy this book, you won’t regret it.
Hi Jason-just checked out your blog. Good reading!
