Happy St Patrick’s Day, everyone!!! I’ve had a quiet one this year. I did my little bit of drinking on Saturday, and today was just another work day for me. I finished editing Book 2 of my four book series -- it ends even more bloodily than most of my books, on one of the biggest down notes I’ve ever finished up on -- but I suspect it will leave fans howling to find out what happens next!!!! I always love a juicy cliffhanger, and while this isn’t one of my absolute favourites, it’s not far off my most nerve-jangling finales!!

Also did some work on my web site, adding some new covers. Add in some office bits and pieces, and it’s been a busy little day -- it’s flown by! I’ve started to watch season 3 of Battlestar Galactica, and I’ve seen a few films over the last 3 days. Infamous was one of the highlights -- it told the story of Truman Capote and how he came to write In Cold Blood. This film suffered because the exact same story was told in the more high-profile Capote, but I thought it was in some ways even better -- it certainly felt a bit lighter and was more fun to watch. Another highlight was an interesting little film called Bubble, one of Steven Soderbergh’s more experimental movies. I was dubious going in, but it really caught my fancy. Filmed with non-actors, it reminded me of certain Italian films like Rome, Open City, which also utilised normal people instead of professional actors. Bubble was a downbeat, gloomy work, but an unexpected gem -- recommended for those who don’t mind something a bit different to the usual Hollywood blockbusters.
