Things most vital?

I've got a title and a cover (the most important part of a book right?).  I'm even working on a catchy description.  Now if I could just finish the book!

Slightly more than a rumor

Well, the rumors be true, at least partially.  I've got the first portion of the new book scribbled out and am wrestling the rest of the beast into story form as best I can.  Stay tuned!

Books and rumors of books

After a rather significant hiatus, I'm dabbling in bookery again.  There are rumors, perhaps exaggerated, that I'm working on another 'Shadow' book, I'll keep you posted (if anyone is actually interested that is!).  Even if substantiated, this announcement is not exactly going to set the internet afire, but I thought you'd like to know this is actually a real author's website, one who writes actual books (sometimes!).  Let the eager waiting begin...?

Your choice!

I read North and South a few years ago but didn't think it was all that memorable, better than Middlemarch, but still not something I'm likely to read again for a very long time.  I just finished Wives and Daughters and thought that was much better.  So pick one of the three and I'll expect a report by the end of the week on one of these lesser known but still classic works.  For extra credit, read two or all three and write a 2 million word dissertation comparing and contrasting them.
