As another month of Names: A New Perspective begins to wind down, today I host James Maxy, author of the Dragon Age (nothing to do with the game) and Dragon Apocalypse series from Solaris Books. I've read only the first Dragon Apocalypse book, Greatshadow (review), to date, but I'm definitely eager to read more since I found it to be one of the best-written fantasy novels featuring dragons.

Today's guest on Names: A New Perspective is Clint Lee Werner, better known as C. L. Werner to all fans of Warhammer Fantasy fiction, and also one of my favourite writers as well. Some of Clint's early work, like Blood for the Blood God, was one of my earliest exposures to the world of Warhammer and he has stayed a staple of my reading ever since.

Wow it's been a while since I have been here!

Hello!!!

9 weeks.

In 9 weeks I have gone from tense, scared frazzled mummy...

to this...

Or there bouts!!!

In 18 months (or so)our lives have been completely turned upside down, round and round and inside out.

But I think the new normality is  settling in.

First things first....

I don't know if you remember me telling you, but I wrote a journal for Melody, her life, our journey our heartbreaking goodbyes; with the storm clouds that darkened beautiful Melody's outcome to finding an ounce of colour back in our lives with a rainbow.

Stopping by the blog today for the latest Names: A New Perspective post is Robbie MacNiven, a fellow Boltholer who got published last year and has been going all out with his love of writing. I haven't had a chance to read any of his work yet, but it is on the reading pile for sure. As with most other posts that I've had a chance and the pleasure to feature on the blog so far, Robbie's take on names is just as interesting and varied.

In January and February, I ran two highly successful polls where I asked all the readers of the blog to help me pick my reading list for the following months. The first one was for novels, the second one for comics. I managed to meet the reading goals for the first of those polls, but am still progressing through the second one, mostly because I've been traveling a bit too much of late, and reading time has generally been at a premium due to work and more time devoted to my writing.

Guesting on the blog today for Names: A New Perspective is Scott Lynch, author of the smash hit Gentlemen Bastard series, the third novel in which, The Republic of Thieves, will be published later this year. Gentlemen Bastard has been on my reading radar for a while now, given the praise I've heard about the series from several friends, but haven't been able to get to it given the staggering levels of Mount Toberead.

Joining me on the blog today for Names: A New Perspective is debut author Stephanie Saulter. Her first book, Gemsigns, is now available from Jo Fletcher Books and from what I've read of it so far, it is shaping up rather nicely. A near-but-distant future Earth where mega-corporations have created tens of thousands (perhaps more) of bioengineered human slaves who have recently been given their freedom?

Stopping by the blog today for Names: A New Perspective is John C. Scott, self-publisher extraordinaire and the author of The Legend of Adam Caine and Recon One-Five among others. John is a really involved author from everything I've seen and the level of his writing output is crazy high. If I could write half as fast, I'd have at least a novel published this year!

Today's guest on Names: A New Perspective is an author I've recently discovered and have become a huge fan of, Jean Johnson. A Soldier's Duty, a military space opera novel featuring a kickass female protagonist, is the first of her books I've read, and I can't wait to get stuck into the sequel, An Officer's Duty. Jean has also written a number of successful novels in the fantasy and romance genres, and has been featured in a few anthologies as well.
