Currently reading: Labyrinth by Kate Mosse

I love historical novels, especially medieval histories. in Labyrinth the distant past touches on the present, with two stories running side by side. I've only read 100 pages, and can't wait to get back to it, it's a real page-turner.

Advice to writers from Kate Mosse

Kate Mosse has an entire section of her site devoted to advice to writers - read it, it's sound and sensible, and if you take advice like this to heart your writing will be everything you wish it to be:

3. Practice The playwright Joe Orton wrote brilliant texts full of life and colour. It seemed to come naturally from his exuberant personality. But like most people who appear to make things look easy, he actually set himself writing homework to make his descriptions more vivid.

Great advice, and a book I'm enjoying - you can't ask for more than that. :-)
