FURY by Rebecca Lim.

Oooh, that's hard. Probably this one.
-
Yes. Next question.

Argh, I've read more than 30 books this year. Will make it five. Ish. :P
The Moth Diaries (Rachel Klein), Black Juice (Margo Lanagan), White Cat/Red Glove (Holly Black), Pyre of Queens (David Hair), The Vanishing of Katharina Linden (Helen Grant). -
If you are a horrible person then so am I!

1) Blank page heroines
2) "Love interests" that spout the exact same lines as guys who have sexually harassed me in the past.
3) "I tried to kill you but I can't because I love you!"
and 4) "It's just fiction - it doesn't have to make sense" <-- internal consistency and logic is nice. -
Probably the big ALA conference, I guess. I don't know much about specifics for US-based book events, apart from the big ones and some general signings. Sort of summed up by BEA, ALA, Los Angeles Times Festival of Books, Smart Chicks Kick It...
Actually, maybe the LA one. And in the past... the one where Ben Barnes was reading from Prince Caspian? :P -
Long story. Short version is: I've always loved Greece and Rome, especially the myths and legends, and took Latin in high school.
Longer version: I started off as an anthropology major (with a focus on archaeology, even though I did take social anthropology papers); classics was my minor. Due to a combination of illness and "are these rat bones or bird bones? You know what, I don't give a toss", after two years I returned home and did a diploma in web development while I got better. After doing that I decided I was going to finish the BA now rather than waiting as originally planned, so switched to Victoria University and into their classics department, where I was very happy. -
Delia = strawberries
Will = apples
Leander = oranges

I am horrible when it comes to motivation. Like major epic fail. I would like to say I spend at least an hour a day writing, but I am not that good a liar. This is something I have been trying to change, with varying amounts of success.

When it is finished, and not a moment before. But I aim to have the first draft done by November.

From my website: http://catherine-haines.com/writing/#thecircledgreen
Upon learning that her father is finally willing to remarry after eight years of widowhood, sixteen year old Aurora dreams not of wicked stepmothers, but of her own future husband and marriage. Not content to wait until the next London season for her debut, Aurora tries an old superstition meant to reveal the face of her destined husband in her dreams.
Unbeknownst to Aurora, this is just the opportunity Ciar has been waiting for. An Unseelie gone rogue, Ciar has been watching and obsessing over Aurora for two years now, and the only thing he wants now is for Aurora to say two things: that she loves him, and that she will come away with him. Ignoring the way his former cohorts laugh at him for wanting her love and permission, Ciar takes advantage of this moment to appear to her as the husband God intended for her.
But when things do not go according to plan for Ciar, and Aurora begins to fall for a human young man, the rogue faerie lover steps from dreams to reality, bringing with him danger, inspiring lust, jealousy and anger, and revealing secrets about the history of the Lairdship itself.
The Circled Green is the tale of love, obsession, faerie interference and family saga set in 1860s Scotland. -

Currently at 26 500, aiming for 70 000.

The Circled Green, one of my WIPs. It's a Victorian era faerie story.

Oh geez. Um. No one favourite but here's a few:
Xanatos, Goliath and Elisa - Gargoyles
Rachel and Tobias - Animorphs
Harry and Felix - The Tricksters (also, Harry = a girl)
Daine and Kel - Tamora Pierce's stuff -
When it is done and not a moment before. :P
But yeah. Sooner I write = sooner I do. So if you are volunteering to crack the whip...
