CANDLELIT CHRONICLES: HISTORIC HAUNTS

NANOWRIMO IN 2 DAYS!!!

Only two more days to wait, fellow NANOWRIMO fanatics!





And Stephen King addicts have only 11 days till the release of UNDER





THE DOME, and diehard Georgia Tech fans take note: the Jackets





play the Bulldogs on Nov. 28.





Daylight Savings Time ends at 2 AM on Sunday (2 hours after





NANOWRIMO begins)

What a month of excitement! Gee, and Veteran's Day and





Thanksgiving too





Meanwhile, last night (interrupted only by riding along as the grandkids trick-or-treated, a very sparse endeavour these last 4 Halloweens in our TINY lil' town), I was riveted by accomplished author Terry Goodkind's newest,

THE LAW OF NINES

Now let me specify:


although I have long read reviews and seen Mr. Goodkind's many novels very highly recommended, this is actually the first time I have read his writing. My immediate response is:

WOOO! TERRY GOODKIND ROCKS!

With the first page he rocketed to the top level of my fiction-rating pantheon, and THE LAW OF NINES is now up there with Stephen King's DUMA KEY and LISEY'S STORY and all of P.C. Hodgell!





Mr. Goodkind can spin a tale that latches on to the reader and never turns loose. Had it not been for that pesky need to sleep in order to babysit today, I would have finished the 502 page book in one evening.

YES: it's that good!
