Lately, my blog has been a bit slow. I've been buried neck-deep in edits. I'm really glad I'm almost there where I want to be: edits complete and ready to share Ana's story with you.
Though Reaper's Novice was set for release in December 2012 - I really thought hard about this and decided to push it forward to January 2013. I had some stuff going on on my end, and it got a little bit difficult to give Reaper's the attention it deserved.
BUT.... ARC copies will be available from December. If you would like to read and review, I will put up a link to sign up for a copy. Starting next week, I will be participating in I am a Reader, Not A Writer Spooktacular Blog Hop, with over 300 bloggers. Drop in for some wonderful giveaways.
Last week on Monday, a writer friend and I decided to go for a stroll in the city -- Stadt Bummeln, in german. Stadt translated to city, and Bummeln meaning stroll or saunter. I took some photos that I wanted to share with you, places Ana -- Reaper's MC-- loves to visit,see the places through her eyes.
So here are a few. Enjoy.
Hotel Sacher Confectionary, which is famous for the traditional Sacher Torte, invented by Franz Sacher in 1832. From what I've gathered - I'm too shy to bake one, just in case the middle sinks - the Sacher Torte consists of two layers of sponge chocolate cake, a thin layer of apricot jam, then topped with dark chocolate icing on top and sides.
Vienna in Autmun.- There are these type of huts situated in corners, selling roast potatoes, roast chestnuts and/or potato wedges. Yum!
St, Peter's Church off the Graben - The Graben is a 'pedestrian only' shopping street, with the occasional bus or horse pulling a carriage on the designated areas. But mostly, human traffic.
The U-Bahn (underground) station
Sweets and treats. My friend and I took a break for some of these treats and Viennese Coffee. Nothing can beat that ::)
Wien Stadtoper- Vienna State Opera
"Pestsäule" -- a plague column in High Barock style, located in Graben inner city in memory of the worst epidemy to ever hit Vienna. Erected during the Habsburg Monarchy.
