Both the Russian style and the setting were new to me, and that combined with a fantasy world unlike one I'd seen before drew me in and kept me.<BR/><BR/>Second was What Angels Fear by C.S. Harris. This is an historical mystery, with an unusual main character who is thrown into mysteries in a believable manner for the time period.<BR/><BR/>Third was Bangkok 8 by John Burdett. Similar to Nightwatch, it was the Thai culture and characters that made the story so fascinating for me.<BR/><BR/>I don't know if I can characterize my writing style. My problem is that I end up writing stories in genres I don't particularly read.<BR/><BR/>This is, of course, maddening. But I think it's because 1) those are the stories that are in me and 2) I don't have to compare myself unfavorably to anyone else.Random Michelle Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13817444379694818074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-745748859173296736.post-88846827272188389222008-01-28T14:49:00.000-05:002008-01-28T14:49:00.000-05:00Nathan, you're going to have to prove it.

So my interest in jazz--and eventually blues--grew from there.<BR/><BR/>Plus? My Dad loves jazz, and when I was little, and he thought everyone was out of the house, he'd sometimes put on his jazz records and sing and clap and stomp along to the music.<BR/><BR/>To appreciate just how awesome this was, you have to understand that my Dad can't carry a tune in a bucket with a lid on it.Random Michelle Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13817444379694818074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-745748859173296736.post-85939717662412312862008-01-27T21:09:00.000-05:002008-01-27T21:09:00.000-05:00Michelle, you're faster, but I'm a better speller....Michelle, you're faster, but I'm a better speller.<BR/><BR/>I call for a upside down and backward sudden death two-ball duel.<BR/><BR/>And poopyhead Nathan's rules didn't cover this, he gets five minutes in the penalty box.
