NEW BOOK IN DECEMBER!
It’s been five gruelling years since the brutal Federal Defence, referred to by its occupied citizens as ‘The Grey’, sent its feared Obsidian Battalion to wipe out most of the inhabitants of the village of Trecarn, and the tiny farming settlement is finally beginning to thrive for the first time in its unedifying history.

I have a to-read list that has gotten out of control and far too many books that I need to read for review. So with that said, I really really need your help for next month's group read. I've listed a few that have been on my to-read for awhile now that I want to read soon.
So which of the follow books would you like as the group read book for March?

“NO reader has ANY obligation to an author, whether it be to leave a review or to write a "constructive" one. I put out a product. You are consumers of that product. Since when does that mean you have to kiss my ass? Hey, I like Pop-Tarts and eat them a few times a year; since when does that mean I'm obligated to support Kellogg's in any way except legally purchasing the Pop-Tarts before I eat them? I wasn't aware that purchasing and consuming a product meant I was under some sort of fucking thrall in which I'm only allowed to either praise the Pop-Tart (which to be honest isn't hard, especially the S'mores flavor) or, if I am going to criticize a flavor, offer a specific and detailed analysis as to why, phrased in as inoffensive and gentle a manner as possible so as not to upset the gentle people at Kellogg's."

I will not be writing for a while. I cannot give a date for the release of 'Unbound', but I will return to it, and it will get completed. I promise.
Thank you for your understanding.
Tabitha xx
I saw your request and I nearly fainted!!
Thanks so much for the friend vite and I just wanted to tell you, I don't normally like "Dark" reads but whenever I mention the ones I did LOVE, your book is always the first one I tell people about. I try to spread the love for "The Tied Man"!!
Waiting patiently for book two!!!
xoxoxo
A teaser from 'Unbound' on my writer's page :)
Enjoy! (Well, 'enjoy' might not be the most accurate verb, but you get my drift...)

Thank you! It was a really fun thing to write. Nice to do a bit of lightness for a change!

Goodness, I only just found this message! Thank you so much - hope you're having a great festive season xx
I'm loving your book, everyone keeps saying that it'll shock me and I can't wait to be shocked by it.
I love your writing, I'm super-awed right now.
It was fucking awful ;)
Hope the answer on the review is okay! I saw it before I saw this comment :) I was also wary of using too many O'... names and making it IrishLand between Finn and Coyle. I tried to keep within the Celtic realms ;D
Thank you *so* much! I've just read your review, and loved it (also adored the pics throughout - I'd never considered Thomas as Coyle, but as soon as I saw that shot I realised what a brilliant choice he'd make). I must admit, I was nervous about what your final rating would be!
I'm really glad you approved of the detail in all the Irish references and language - it really matters to me that I get all that stuff right, for all the reasons you gave in your review. Thank you for the friend-vite; I look forward to reading more of your reviews, and keeping you updated as to where I am with the sequel (set between Spain and Dublin; I've *had* to go on research trips to both places, which was a bit of a bummer...). Tabitha xx

If you remember, by super brainy niece bought and promised to read TTM. I got an email from her today, that she finished it. The following was her email:
Aunt Judy:
SO, I have finished "The Tied Man", and I have to say, it was certainly interesting!
I would definitely be interested to hear your take on the book, and what it was about it that you enjoyed so much!
It was definitely attention grabbing, but I had a difficult time placing some of the characters within the plot. Several were definitely well shaped, specifically Finn and Lilith, but Blaine was kind of a mystery for me from start to finish! I kept waiting for some moment at the end when Lilith would "understand" her like she does to other people and things would become a little more clear. Perhaps I missed something?
My favorite characters were actually all secondary figures... I really enjoyed the beach bum scientist and kid-rocker characters, and Henry the chef/butler/man about the house was pretty charming most of the time despite his unsuccessful attempts to actually be particularly helpful.
Anyways...let me know what you think.
Love, Emily

Feel free to email her if you so desire (she isn't on Goodreads or anything while she is running around Alaska). I know you are really busy right now writing TTM2 but I thought you might like Emily's thoughts. (I emailed her back with my thoughts that you have probably read too many times).
