Things are looking up

It's been a really long time since I did a photo for this Active Assignment group I'm in on Flickr, but one of my fellow members challenged me to come back so I managed a photo this week. The assignment was "figures of speech" so this is "things are looking up"



I amuse myself, anyhow. We'll see if it amuses anyone else in the group!

Judging a book by its blurb...

I'm not even sure what to say about this, so I'm just going to put it out there:

From USA Today and New York Times bestselling author of Shakespeare Undead, comes the gripping follow-up story about vampire William Shakespeare and his Dark Lady who are stranded on a mystical island.

Fresh from a triumphant battle over the zombie horde that invaded London, Will concocts a plot to rid the love of his life from the encumbrance of her husband. Will plans to give his “dark lady,” Katherine Dymond, a potion that will make her sleep the sleep of the dead. Once she is entombed, Will can sneak in, wait for her to awaken, then spirit her away. After her husband returns to his plantation in America, Kate can return to London under a different name and assume a new identity. No one will believe that the dead Katherine and the live Kate are the same woman. Of course, as is often the case with true love, all does not go as smoothly as planned. When the two of them are shipwrecked on an island ruled by a wizard and a nymph, as well as infested by zombies, Will and Kate must stop an even larger plot afoot—one that leads all the way to the royal palaces of Queen Elizabeth.

That's the blurb for Zombie Island: A Shakespeare Undead Novel.

There's review copies up for requests at librarything, and I can't decide if I should click that "request it!" button or stay far, far away.
