What does a dolphin say?

I thought a female dolphin main character would be good, but she has much more potential as a secondary.

So how does a dolphin think? I don't know, but definitely the dolphin would see things differently.

Some lines which show that this dolphin really has something special to say :-) (ha!)

“You humans swim in shallow waters”

“I am not a fish”

 “…two reasons why humans smile, either you made some money or you’re having fun, and I think that wasn’t the latter…”

"You never lose it, you know, not even after 20 million years of devolution.”

“I’m a dolphin. Knowledge is inbred.”

“No, I can’t (bring back a human). Swim up to the beach, have a look at one for yourself.”

“A degree? Is that a piece of paper?” 

 “Well, for me, swimming came with the package.” 

Rage!

A post for those on a different time...
I had trouble working out just what rage I was talking about with my title 'The Rage of Atlantis'. I always have the title first, you just fill in the blanks afterwards. I thought of a huge anger, or maybe a fashion trend. I then realised...it could be ALL meanings, from different perspectives...
...the interview? People are still hitting it, now with a new snazzy look...

The 3rd book is growing and gaining backers...

And the 1st and 2nd books are being translated to their original Hungarian...sorry, from their original English to Hungarian (the Hungarians might just get that :-)

Blossoming like a rose...

Yes, that's the 3rd book. It's blossoming like a rose, it even has the thorns. Just over 20k now, and I've finally figured out what to do with Drukan, the hobgoblin sidekick from 'The Bethlehem Fiasco'. Fitting in his story as we speak, it's a side-plot, but it shows another important side to the action, and keeps with continuity of the 'world of DJC'.
The interview is getting hits, and so is this blog, almost at 900 views, might make the 1000 views by the end of May...it depends on you :-)
Waiting for a promised review to happen on an official literature website...
Also approved a Hungarian translation of 'The Bethlehem Fiasco', but you'll have to wait for the result...

Goblins

Someone asked me why goblins, or more specifically, hobgoblins? Well, what inspired me to write back in November was Shakespeare, with the help of my British Literature teacher's enthusiasm for the theatre of the time; flags, standing room, open air, etc. Midsummer Night's Dream has always been a favourite of mine, and this time I realised even more the importance of Puck. And then Ariel in The Tempest. I also loved the plot changes in MSND, and could see through the Tempest as a piece which endeavoured to show Shakespeare's audience his craft throughout his career, his ability to entertain. I digress...after looking through these plays, I wanted to try my hand at writing. I got to a point where I needed a slave/worker/miracle worker, and Puck and Ariel fit the bill. 'Fairy' was just too twee, "Goblin" was too Lord of the Rings, so I took hobgoblin, which has a mischievous feel to it. Plus the fact that I have one of those stupid McDonald's Fairy backgrounds sitting on my desktop, left over from installing one of those damn games...sub-conscious conditioning, staring at it every day...:-)

Descriptions are mere info dumps

Yesterday I received a rejection letter from a small publisher about my 2nd book. They said that it was too dialogue-driven and there wasn't enough description. That's the reason why my readers like my books! There is plenty of space to think between the lines, I allow them to think and visualize the scene themselves, using their own background knowledge of the world. I don't wanna spoon-feed anyone...

You have to think when you read my books. Well, you don't have to, you can just giggle your way through :-)) Both are good :-)

10 out of 10 readers prefer DJC

So far, 100% of those who've read the first part of 'The Rage of Atlantis' have enjoyed it immensely.
If you have the time, perhaps you too can have a look, you don't need to register.

If you still haven't had a look at the first 2 books, they're available there too, and you can download it from Amoazon Kindle (well, 50%, I think).
At 18,000 words now, writing is going well, though I need to have a break to study this week. But it won't stop me writing, it can't, it's an illness. Once a book is in your head, it grows and grows. Some cool ideas coming, and the storyline builds up upon itself.
Once this 3rd book is done, I'll concentrate on screenplays for all 3. My readers keep saying how visual my books are, mainly based on dialogue, so it'll be easy to turn them into movie scripts. You never know...

Looking for 1000 views total !!!

So, a little bit of limelight! An interview!
http://sargakonyv.wordpress.com/2012/05/19/interview-with-dani-j-caile/
Let's see if we can get 1000 views in total by the end of the week.
I'll post once a day and see if it happens, this blog is already at around 850 views.
Waiting on a publisher who's looking at my 2nd book.
Waiting on more comments about my 3rd :-)
Have a read yourself...
