A Little Rant
What’s on my iPod : Beautiful Day by U2
Rarely do I rant about the writing and publishing world, but today, I had to get this off my chest. On Tuesday, I zipped over to Best Buy to get my copy of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince on Blue-ray. While I was at my favorite little shopping center, I decided to run into VERY BIG DISCOUNT BOOKSTORE (I’ll refrain from completely lambasting particular bookseller since I usually find no complaints with them). I was there to pick up debut author Lauren Kate’s paranormal YA, Fallen. I’ve been anticipating this book because the subject is fallen angels, and though it doesn’t sound like my plot, I’m itching to see what the competition is writing. Well, after foundering for about twenty minutes looking for the book that was scheduled to release that day, I went to the front to ask. And I did recieve GREAT customer service, but nobody could find the book. Their system said they had seven in stock. After another fifteen minutes, the general concensus was I could order the book on-line, but it just wasn’t available in the store. As a writer and a hopefully soon published one, I was angry for Lauren Kate. A snafu like this is horrible. How gut-wrenching to discover that your debut novel can’t be bothered to be placed on the shelf of a major retailer!
So, I decided that I would post a link to Amazon. There are other places you can get it (I hope). And check it out; it looks fascinating.
Pinning down an angel part 2
What’s on my iPod : Billie Jean by Michael Jackson.
Continuing with last week’s post, I chained Sarah to the hot seat to force some answers out of her. It seems she is extrememly reluctant to sit still for any length of time and even more antsy answering questions about her self or her angel, Caleb. Too bad for her, good for us!
Cate : First easy question, favorite season and why?
Sarah : Fall because I love the change in colors of the trees and how the mornings and the evenings get colder. I’m from the South, and when I was little, we used to travel every autumn to the Appalachain Mountains to see the trees.
Cate : Nice, my favorite, too. What about favorite subject in school?
Sarah : Art, hands down. Even though my father doesn’t think it’s a worthy subject to pursue in college.
Cate : Do you like to draw or paint or designing on the computer?
Sarah : I like playing with art programs on my laptop, but what I really love is drawing – sketching.
Cate : Any particular subject?
Sarah : (blushing) hmmm, I gues that would be Caleb.
Cate : Any Titanic-esque sketches?
Sarah : huh? Oh, no,no, no,no. (blushing bright red)
Cate : So, what exactly attracted you to Caleb?
Sarah : Oh, I wasn’t attracted to him at first, more like repelled. But I guess, I started to see behind his poser attitude, and what I saw was a pretty remarkable guy.
Cate : So what was your reaction when you realized what Caleb was?
Sarah : I wanted to beat his head in – oh, strike that. I was really, really mad at him for not telling me the truth and then lying to keep it from me.
Cate : And then once he did tell you?
Sarah : Relieved that I wasn’t going crazy.
Cate : Last question. Caleb’s a musician, inspiring some pretty famous people and writing his own incredible songs. So your impression of his music?
Sarah : Wow, I’m not the best person to ask questions about music. I like all kinds. (deep breath and sigh) But his playing is moving and his singing, his voice – it’s incredible.
Cate : Awesome, thanks. Next time, I put Tristian on the wire.
