This is the first book in my trilogy, People of Akiane.

Diesel has returned after two years of being away. Not sure if that’s good or not.

Lulu was attacked by a swarm of bats. One tried to make a nest in her hair. Now she fears she's covered in bat poop and lice, and needs a bout 20 baths to feel clean again.

I’ve only read the first two chapters. Story looks promising.

It’s been a while since I’ve read the first seven Stephanie Plum’s books. I recently picked up 28. I not willing to read the next 14 books to get to this one, but I thought it might be fun to see where Stephanie is these days.

The chapter on dialogue inspired me to rethink my dialogue with plans to to improve it.

I checked my personal library of how-to-write books. Three books have one chapter on dialogue and one book entirely about dialogue.

After I finish this book, I'm going to read everything I have on dialogue.

Just finished the chapter on dialogue. I realized I could pay more attention to dialogue.

I looked at the other how-to-write books in my personal library and found several other books that have a least one chapter on dialogue, and one book about only on dialogue.

I've read all the books before, but I plan to reread the chapters and book to continue improve my storytelling.

This book is both reminding me of things I already know, and is giving me a deeper understanding of what I know, and is also teaching me new things.

Most importantly, it's inspiring my imagination and helping improve my story.

I like to read how-to-write books while I'm writing a novel.

The how-to books teach me new information and/or remind me of what I already know.

They also inspire the story I'm presently working on. In this case, Krunkie & the Last Dragon Eggs. I'm developing better drama and creating conflict, some of the elements of writing a page turner.

This is gong to be a slow read. Too many other interesting things to do. To bad, so far it's fun read.
