I'm In Love....

....with DAZ-3D. This is an awesome program....and one of their other products, Bryce, is just as awesome. I've been having loads of fun letting my creative beastie run wild all over my laptop with these programs. I've done renders of Darien, of King Albion's Keep (from the upcoming Daughter of the Air), and also renders of Toryn and Keirah, as seen in one of my earlier posts. Is it possible to become addicted to an art program? Um....yeah. *looks guiltily at the laundry piling up....dishes in the sink....* Well, perhaps I should break away once in a while....but here's why I like it so much:

King Albion's Keep

Darien with his Travel Orb

I've been having a blast with this stuff. To be able to depict visually what goes on in my head is amazing, even if it's not quiet exact to what I see in my mind's eye. (D's not too hard on the eyes, is he?)

On the reading front, just finished "Dark Desires After Dusk" by Kresley Cole. I love her Immortals After Dark series. They are wonderful, fun and sexy reads. Easily finished in a day or so. And because of how she ended Cadeon's story, I've of course, had to move right into Rydstrom's story: Kiss of a Demon King. Really great stuff....not a lot of overbearing detail to have to wade through. Just my cup of tea. You can visit her website at: www.kreslycole.com

OK. I'm off to play some more with my DAZ! Ciao!!

Midnight Breed Series

WOW. I just finished "Veil of Midnight," the last (latest) book in Lara Adrian's vampire series. I'm seriously hooked now...almost as much as I am for J. R. Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood series. Like Ward's series, throw out all your pre-conceived notions of what a vampire story is. This is a tangible, believable world that exists along side the human race, but unknown to us. Her warriors are every inch the sexy, alpha males they should be, each with their own unique personality and troubles. Their females, the Breedmates, are each, strong and vunerable in their own ways.

If you haven't given this series a shot, you don't know what you're missing. I can't wait for the next book in the series, "Ashes of Midnight." Give it a nibble, you'll be glad you did!!!
