In my hands lately:

Sin and Syntax: How to Write Wickedly Effective Prose by Constance Hale. This was a pleasure to read, even if you find grammar a bit tedious. She made it fun and surprisingly edgy, and it really tightened up my writing.

Creative Writing: For People Who Can't Not Write by Kathyrn Lindskoog. This reminded me of a textbook in some ways, very structured and informative. The last chapter was my favorite- it was a summary of the advice C.S. Lewis had given amateur writers who wrote him for his opinion through the years. Very insightful!

In the fiction arena, I finished the two part series by Laura Resnick, In Legend Born and In Fire Forged. A masterpiece in the fantasy genre. I was struck by her character development and a very unique storyline, but even more than that, I was moved by her talent as a writer to make you feel. A very gifted writer, and I was enthralled and inspired from cover to cover.
