The Last Legion

Last night, I took some away time from writing my next fabulous book *giggle* and I watched The Last Legion starring Colin Firth, Ben Kingsley and Thomas Sangster. Surprisingly enough, it was really good! I didn't know what to make of it when reading up the write up since it really doesn't do the movie justice. But if you haven't checked it out yet, do so when you can! If you like action movies with a little bit of romance, this one will please you! And of course if you're a Colin Firth fan, this one really should be on your to be watched list. :)

I found the following trailer on You Tube.

Happy Thursday!

I'm dashing in quickly to say I'm still alive. LOL Seriously, I've just finished one book, and now I'm off to finish the second book! I'm having a blast and I've even had to shift into different sub-genre gears as the book that I just finished was a straight historical set during the late regency, and now I'm writing a futuristic set in a very distant future.
I'll leave you all with this video from You Tube. :)

New review for The Witch and the Wolf from The Long and Short of It!

I personally really enjoy historical fiction and this story pleased me. It takes place during the French Revolution and thereafter. The writing is such that I felt transported right into events and felt the fear and passion that was prevalent then. Transportation by horse and carriage, elegant clothes worn by elegant ladies, fawning gentlemen, the constant intrigues that were carried on behind the royal scene can all be enjoyed by the reader. The language and speech patterns here and there tends to resemble modern day language but on the whole language is authentic as well. I enjoyed the reminder of what had been taking place in the courts of England and France as they struggled with their hatred of each other.

The romance that Arabella De Maurier and Christopher Wyndham tried so hard to deny accelerates through the story building to a delicious crescendo at the end as true love prevails. Christopher refuses to give up on his love as Arabella twists and turns looking for a way to solve her problems. As hard as he tries Wyndham cannot stop loving her. It makes you wish for a man just like him for yourself.

I eagerly followed the ups and downs of the love the two main characters have for each other. Their relationship is stormy, but so touching in places it's sure to bring a smile to your face as it did mine. You'll want to pay close attention while you read so you don’t miss any of the juicy parts. It makes for a very fascinating time. There are many other threads of people’s lives and events woven throughout the main love story that also make it interesting to follow. All that passion and action and history woven together makes this a book you really should read!

Yeah!

 I have received a lovely review from a reader, who loved The Long Thin Veil. The review was posted at The Wild Rose Press.

Here it is, with permission to post from the reviewer, Catherine,
5 Stars
Admittedly, I do not read many stories of Faeries and veiled worlds where Leperchans and Nymphs come to life. This well crafted tale not only kept my interest but has me looking for more in a genre I've ignored. I look forward to more of Ms. Mathews stories.
