Shelter by Harlan Coben
It's been awhile since I talked about what I'm reading, mostly because I haven't read anything lately that blew me away. But that's recently changed as I picked up Shelter by Harlan Coben. Now Harlan's other Myron Bolitar series is one of my favorites. I love his cast of characters, especially Win.
The last book in the series, Live Wire didn't disappoint. We were introduced to Mickey Bolitar, Myron's nephew. Now I am not a YA reader. In fact, it's been a really, really, really long time since I was even mistaken for a young adult. However, I picked up Shelter (Mickey's story) to see how Harlan made the switch to YA. Damn how I wished I had books like this when I was a pre/teen. Yeah, Judy Bloom rocks and all, and I learned how to increase my breast size, but Shelter offers so much more. The story is engaging. Mickey is a true hero with Myron's wit and charm. The stakes are high. No sparkly vampires to be seen.
Any other Coben fans reading Shelter? How about other YA series, anything out there I should pick up next?

Colorado Gold Conference - Do's & Do Not's
Over the last couple of days I've read blogs from some amazing authors about the upcoming Colorado Gold Conference. Read them for yourself at
http://chiseledinrock.blogspot.com/,
http://www.writersonthebrink.com/conference-tips-for-colorado-gold,
http://www.writersont.hebrink.com/conference-tips
They all have great advice for anyone attending the Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers Colorado Gold Conference. To me, a conference is about the chance to be with other writers. I spend much of my life around people who understand nothing about what it means and/or takes to be a working writer. Hell, most of my family haven't read my first book, and I gave them FREE copies. When I complain about another rejection, or how hard it is to write when the dreaded writers block is lurking around the corner, no one understands my pain. Except for those who experience the same highs and lows known only to those in the profession.
So this upcoming weekend, if I happen upon you at the conference, let's grab a drink and talk writing. Tell me your woes. Tell me your conference yippees. For I love every minute of it.
Oh, and one more thing, a year ago today I was an author without a book deal, and thanks to the Colorado Gold last year, CURSES! A F**ked-Up Fairytale will be released from Kensington Books on March 1, 2012.
What about you? Who do you talk writing with? Any advice for this weekend?
