bedlamsbardOh, yeah, S.M. Stirling is exactly who I want to be reading right now. *purrs*
Seriously, if you're wondering where my love for writing action/battle scenes came from? That man. That man right there. There is no one better at writing combat. Lynch, Rowling, and Martin get it for world-building, Lehane and Gabaldon for character, but Stirling is where the action and the plot comes from. May the gods be good, I love this writer, and I haven't read him in an age and I'm reading his new book.
Anything I own of him in paperback is coming back to Tulane with me. Meanwhile, I'm going to try and reread all the Stirling I own. *purrs some more*
Meanwhile, my touchpad is still psychotic. Seriously, is there anything I can do or should I call up Dell customer service in tears? It's still working, just not well -- and I'm on my computer around fifteen hours a day, I need it in perfect working order.
