Gina Collia-Suzuki 's feed: All Things Considered
I am experiencing sudden raptures
I was quite taken aback by myself today. Ever since my books first came out, I've been so busy working on other projects that I haven't really had much time to sit back and take in what's been going on around me. The books have had great reviews, and I've been very happy about that, in the few s...

Doom and gloom, go zoom to the moon!
Anyone who's read any of my previous blog posts knows that I am not a floaty, fluffy, 'it's all sunshine and moonbeams' kinda gal when it comes to this writing malarkey... I'm a realist. I'm all for realism. What I'm not a great fan of is scaremongering codswallop. So, the publishing industry's ...

Great expectations
"Are your books doing as well as you hoped they would?" I have been asked this question so many times, and I haven't once been able to answer it. I have no answer. In order for my books to do as well as I hoped, I'd have had to hope in the first place. I was told by a very dear friend, when I wa...

I still think of Cedric
On the subject of food again, I don't often talk about the fact that I'm a vegetarian. When the subject does come up, I'm usually asked how I came to be a veggie, and my answer is always the same... 'I once murdered a chicken.' The roots of my vegetarianism lie in the year 1972, in a village in...

Food doesn't kill me anymore!
The illness that resulted in my brush with death in 2007, being somewhat mysterious (as I couldn't possibly fall prey to a boring and predictable one), resulted in me developing various unusual food allergies, cutting down the number of foods I was able to eat without breaking out or choking to ...

Wearing in my new shoes
Yesterday, following the shoe incident, we headed off towards Boulevard Saint-Germain, stopping off at Notre Dame along the way, partly because we always pop in there (with me being a bit of an architecture nut) and partly because it was so hot that we feared we might be roasted alive where we s...
