My first interview with Paranormal Romance Author F.D. Davis for www.news-bite.com was only one question: When did you first realize that you wanted to be a writer, and What was it that inspired you to start writing? Answer: I’m really not sure what age I was when I realized I wanted to seriously write. I started reading when I was four and the love of the written word has only grown through the years. I’ve had many stops on starts on this journey and it all had to do with rejections and not being involved with other writers who knew what it was I was going through. As to what inspired me to actively pursue a writing career I’m very clear on that. Bill suggested that I take a two year break from working to try and concentrate on writing. If in that time I did not have a writing contract I would return to work and do as I had been doing, write in my spare time. Well, two years came and I didn’t have a contract. I told Bill I would stick to our agreement and return to work. He gave me this look that I can still see, shook his head no, and told me to continue trying. One year later I had my first contract.
Hush Hush Review
I heard about this book everywhere, it seemed. So naturally I wanted to try it out. Despite the hype books receive I am always a bit leery. I know that if the general population likes a book I probably won't like it much. I am the type of nerd that likes to learn stuff from my books. About history or language. Anything really. I dislike having an info overload, like the piles of stuff found in textbooks. Well, to put it bluntly: I did not like the book. I do not even know why I am holding onto my copy of it (a copy I found a the Salvation Army). I read some long winded reviews, and I probably agree with all of their content. The mystery and suspense was weak. The main character was dumb, foolhardy and cliche. The story itself was kinda ho-hum. Patch, Mr. Love Interest, was creepy. I don't know why or how someone could fall for or be attracted to someone who is out to kill them and even admits it to their face. "Oh baby, I wanted to murder you. But you is so hot and special that I just couldn't do it!" Sure. A little side tangent here: Why do this old old, centuries old men fall for these juvenile and completely un-special girls. "Wow, you are so young and immature. You embody all that is annoying and flaky about the modern teenager. After a million years your little self is what I want!" I am never convinced that one tiny brat could ever win over these guys who have seen everything over the years. A hot body can't be the thing, because most of the girlies are never mega-hot. I wish the chosen ones had some kind of emotional connection to the men they fall for, like similar tragedies or something. Or if they possessed a trait like extreme compassion or crazy-weird and accurate intuition (I like intuition rather than brainy smarts, because intelligence doesn't mean a person is perceptive, and most of the time the author makes their booksmart heroine bitchy and arrogant).
With this book, for example, just because your momma ain't around does not mean you can understand being banished from your home for a very long time. Very. (I forget if Patch-y actually experienced major trauma, I guess if he was willing to kill to get what he wanted. Eh.) I just don't get how these types of blah heroines can be a comfort to these world weary men (who still act like boys, even though they aren't, even if they do look fresh out of diapers and off mother's milk). I found the heroine to be very forgettable. I think I recall curly hair and a desire to get herself killed. Patch-y should of just went for it. She was begging for it something fierce. The bad guy(s). It just makes me want to start wailing really loudly and tear my clothing. Why? Why? Why? It was a disaster. Really anyone and everyone really got a shot to be in the spotlight. But not really. I was surprised Nora didn't accuse her friend of being out to get her. I was even suspicious. But nope. The making out was hot. And really the only thing I liked about the book. Surprise surprise (it was a surprise, truly). Mostly when I find I don't love the characters I feel kinda of apathetic about their s3x life. When I love characters, I love to root for them and love scenes are gratifying (I suppose) and sweet. When I hate the characters, oftentimes I feel kind of grossed out (or angry...at the attempt to make us... uh I don't know, be distracted from lame character by the flashy s3x. Don't think so sistah!). I am reading the sequel. Mostly due to the fact that I have an ARC of Crescendo (In yo face! Kidding, kidding. I was surprised that they foisted a copy on to me. Well I am kinda psyched to be getting an early copy. Probably because everyone else is hyped about it). I am hoping the following book will be better. This was a debut book. So there were bound to be some issues. I would say skip it. But if you wanna read it go for it, just make sure your copy comes from the library.
Hush Hush
Hush Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick. Genre: Yong Adult Paranormal Romance. Hardcover: 291 pages. Publisher: Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing. Description: Falling in love was never so easy... or so deadly. For Nora Grey, romance was not part of the plan. She's never been particularly attracted to the boys at her school, no matter how much her best friend, Vee, pushes them at her. Not until Patch came along. With his easy smile and eyes that seem to see inside her, Nora is drawn to him against her better judgment. But after a series of terrifying encounters, Nora's not sure who to trust. Patch seems to be everywhere she is, and to know more about her than her closest friends. She can't decide whether she should fall into his arms or run and hide. And when she tries to seek some answers, she finds herself near a truth that is way more unsettling than anything Patch makes her feel. For Nora is right in the middle of an ancient battle between the immortal and those that have fallen and, when it comes to choosing sides, the wrong choice will cost her life.
How can you Buy a Second-Hand Car for a Reasonable Price
If you need a car, the ways to purchase it are varied, from buying it with the cash on the barrel to instalments, from a brand new one to a second hand one, all these aspects depending on the budget that you have available. If you have a few money and thought about a second-hand car, a good option if to buy it in operational leasing system, a procedure that is extremely practical as you will see. The method assumes that you call on a rent-a-car company that provides this option. You will choose from the company's car fleet a second-hand car but well maintained, that you'll rent for long term. In all this time you can use the leased car, and the supplier will handle all inspections, repairs, motor vehicle liability insurances and CASCO insurances, as well as a replacement car to the one you have if this is damaged against a car crash or for any other reason, against a monthly payment performed by you.
You can extend the car leasing term as much as you want but, at the end of the contract, you'll benefit from a very advantageous price to buy it (longer you had rented the car, lower the price will be). The acquisition price advantage is added to the fact that the car is very well maintained by the supplier in all this time and, until you buy it, you don't have to bear many of the expenses involved by maintaining a car. It is a better practice than purchasing a second hand car that you know nothing about. By resorting to operational leasing, while you use the car by paying a rent for it, you can realise any failure that occurs and you don't have to repair it, no matter the failure, the rent-a-car company handling from car repairs to the car replacement. for more informations you can visit Car rental Romania website by Touring Rent Auto.
