All right, I'm nearly there with the synopsis (7 pages in, heading speedily toward the climax). I'd probably be even farther along if I could convince myself to work on it at home. But I don't want to write it on my laptop as I'm kind of treating that as my "place" for new work at the moment and I don't want to write it on my desk top because...are you ready? this is so lame...the chair is so freaking uncomfortable at that desk. Yes, I know I could fix that. I probably will. But in the meantime, I thought I'd distract you from the lack of content in my blog by giving you a link to this book, which I stumbled upon and now desperately want to read. I think Jude Devereaux wrote once that readers are only ever interested in the clothing and the bathroom in historical romance novels. I guess this would be part of that fascination. I mean, bras, in their current incarnation, are a relatively new torture device. I'd be interested to see what other instruments of cruelty women have stuffed themselves into to meet the demands of fashion and looking sexy.
But I can't quite convince myself that I need such a book so badly for research when I don't write historical novels. At least not at the moment. : )
Here's another odd one that I found a few months back. It's reportedly the book used most often on all the CSI shows when they have forensic questions. But again, probably something I don't need. Plus, $200!!!! For ONE book. I don't think so.
