I re-read The History of White People by Nell Irvin Painter. It's a book every one should read, particularly Americans, as the USA is her primary focus. Her book demonstrates that white is not universal, that white is not neutral, that it has a history, which she eloquently delineates. It's not often you finish a book understanding how the world operates better than before you read it.

I continued blogging, but between illness and deadlines, did not manage to blog nearly as much as last year. I'm hoping to do better in 2016.

I'm almost back to being able to write as much as six hours a day .

My favourite vampires are all very scary indeed. So the idea of falling in love with one is just weird to me.

I discovered the writing of Kirsty Eagar and was blown away. Everyone needs to read her now.

The acclaim for Razorhurst means even more to me than usual because, let's be honest, Razorhurst is weird.
