What about "Out of the Shadow"

Chapillon Lady invited me on the forum http://steampunk.fr * to talk about the Out of the Shadow, and I delivered a little more inside. It would not be very nice of you and not harm you as much.

I'll repeat here a portion of my presentation and develop a little. It is difficult to present the paper, and start online is a good exercise. (My blog has always served as a workshop, please note.)

Reservations November 15, released January 25 [store]

London, 1889. The guild protects Ae aethrynes for centuries they dedicate themselves to their task: to keep them trapped in shadow of sinister monsters eager to massacre, the Gotham. When a lunatic sect addresses these priestesses, the organization is undermined by the treachery of several agents of importance. Trackers William, Christopher and Heinrich, who are responsible for the protection of Lady Eileen for a night, can not imagine the challenges of hunting they will soon be. But in the shadow of Eileen, attentive, He knows what is about to be played.

So what is it that speaks? Adventure, folly, excess, survival, determination, after all of humanity.

On the cover of Aurélien Police, you discover one of the main characters, a priestess Eileen whose shadow is inhabited by a Gotham. She is pursued by mysterious traitors who will not hesitate to kill, even to release the monster whose appetites are bloodthirsty. Trackers that accompany it are part of the Guild and each have a specific power (I'll let you discover). They protect their best, despite the oppressive presence of Gotham that gives them nightmares, mine their morale, anxiety a little more each day, especially when night falls and the shadows that beset the walls ... Of course, their adventure will lead them to discover more than they wanted to learn and the real issues are beyond full.

is a suspense novel, with a particular voltage. The Gotham is a perverse and intelligent monster who lives only to quench his thirst for blood. It is retained in the shade but can take many guises and it is beyond imagination to hurting those approaching its priestess.

If it happens in London in 1889, it is not free. At the time, darker than Paris, London Victorian emanated an atmosphere conducive to this kind of creature. The whole dynamic of this city and its organization was perfectly suited to the Guild as part of Ae which keeps the secret of the existence of Gotham.

Those who know me know I'm not one to go through the back of the spoon. At Exit Shadow not playing on the atmosphere. It is a story where the monsters are real characters, they are not part of a decorum and they give themselves heart's content.

I'll stop there. It is better to let you discover the hero of the novel in the text.


* If you like steampunk, I urge you to check it out. The sections on the creation, in particular, are stunning.

PS: I think a new trailer.

Using Hp 56 In 4180 Printer

First draft done!

I finished the first draft of the Ghost Warrior (Volume 1 chronicles Siwès).

Obviously, for some, the new smells of heated ... I must say that last week, I have not had time to post on this subject between two emotions caused by the coverage of At Exit Shadow (which I never tire of admiring.)

In truth, not only did I finish this first draft, but more I found the title of book below: The Lion the Forked Tongue . Those who attended remember that with the second main character Baxian I built the foundations of volume 2, and of course, the end of this episode is bound to this title. I am very happy. I look forward to writing this second book and I am already taking notes (I am assailed by my ideas that seem not want to leave them.)

icing on the cake, I also solved a certain part of the cliffhanger diabolical Siwès which did not suit me. I know of you beta-designated readers are delighted to know, a cliffhanger, awesome, the kind of thing that irritates the reader who must wait a year to read more ...

I have a new finish to a call for texts, and as soon as I finished, I put myself in the replay. If I could finish it for Christmas, it would be really good. As they say, to a willing heart, nothing is impossible! ^ __ ^

Reading ...


PS: I read Christopher Lambert Mytho Vegas this weekend.
is HUGE! I loved it!

What Are Some Crazy Things Sororities Make You Do

Draft Budget 2011: austerity

.
outline of the draft Finance Bill 2011 have been officially presented by the government.

Not surprisingly, he continues his austerity plan to reduce public spending set itself the goal of bringing the deficit to 6% in late 2011. The Minister of Economy up to say "we went to the chainsaw ...


The head of state and government spend so rigorous - without assuming the public - as a rule imposed in response to dogma of all-round reduction of public deficits and the diktat of financial markets. The tax elections are a prime example. By devoting more than 45 billion euros, the government of the burden of debt the first expenditure of the state!

By reducing expenditures that mainly affect the employees and households modest (and precarious middle class), by deleting the operating expenses and capital of the state, suffocating local authorities (which helps make possible the implementation of social aid and solidarity) and refusing to invest in the fight against mass unemployment, the government of François Fillon himself creates the conditions to worsen the effects of the crisis, or to create a new one.

Concomitantly, INSEE publishes the last digit of poverty in France. Far from the happy beneficiaries of the tax shield or shareholders and other financial not taxed as they should be more than 8 million people, including employees, live below the poverty line on less than 950 euros per month!

And Nicolas Sarkozy, despite his speeches on the moralization of capitalism, continues to lie more than ever in an ultra-liberal economic logic. Because of competition, competitiveness, attraction of financial capital (all that is behind the crisis), reduce public spending and social, thus reducing costs particularly with regard to retirement falling retirement ages and lengthening the contribution period.

The government operates in three different ways to achieve the expected reductions in wages, pensions and various allowances in relation to their level of previous year:

- Drop openly announced

is the case for example of the allowance for disabled adults whose current amount is below the poverty line and who, contrary to the promises of Nicolas Sarkozy during the presidential campaign, sees its evolution programmed lowered Referring to a deadline four years of its expected increase.

- Decline of fact after an increase below the rate of inflation.

is the case for example of the different amount of family benefits is fixed as a percentage of the monthly calculation of family allowances (BMAF). This base is adjusted each year by decree, but regardless of the actual increase in cost of living. It is also the case of remuneration of officials who are well but increased by a percentage less than the inflation rate.

It may be noted here that most of the media "do-gooders", we have systematically minimal as revaluations and therefore increases as progress so that it actually decreases!

- Drop a pure blocking

is a variant of the previous method but more brutal. The decline is real and greater than in the case of an increase below the rate of inflation.

In the end, very Many allowances, benefits, pensions, annuities, allowances provided by a range of bodies decreased to varying degrees (this is also the case for wages since the turn of rigor in 1983 ...) and lead to a real impoverishment of employees and their families.

funding of pensions and Social Security

As the financing of pensions and in general of all branches of social security, 2011 budget will not solve anything. Neither reform pensions, savings plans or health insurance on the backs of the insured (by a multitude of medical exemptions and delisting of drugs ...) are at the height of financial issues.

few simple proposals would yet to resolve definitively the problem of chronic deficits of Social Security: the creation of a universal social security contribution together with a significant change in attitude, based on all labor income, capital or replacement. The base Pay current dues is in fact largely inappropriate because wages do not reflect the reality of income received and reported to the tax authorities. In addition, a significant portion is not subject to contributions (profit-sharing, stock options ...). The Audit Office estimated in 2009 to nearly 10 billion euros shortfall in funds for social protection.

This fee would be a kind of universal CSG enlarged and concerns all individuals, employed or not. The plate covering income tax, its performance would be very much higher than the current CSG, allowing even to lower the current rate. A rate equal in effect, a point premium income is more lucrative than a point based on salary alone. A point of CSG on all income is nearly 12 billion euros! The new CSG might even be merged with the PIT to make it progressive, fairer and more remunerative.

Regarding employer contributions, these apply here too on wages alone. This situation is is abnormal as companies with a high payroll but low value added (labor companies, for example) are disadvantaged compared to those with low wage and high value added. Therefore, employer contributions could add a contribution based on value added, the amount could be equal to at least the equivalent of one-point increase from the current employer contribution (4 5 billion euros).

But a balanced budget and able to meet the needs of increasingly an important social republic can not be understood without a scale tax reform aimed at restoring a true republican progressive tax or cap and remove a number of devices particularly outrageous (plethora of tax loopholes, exemption of large estates, family quotient , shield tax relief device gains, sometimes called "tax shelter Cope," exemptions from employer, etc.).

All tax cuts introduced since ten years, are now losing 90 billion euros to finance public! The fraud to tax and social security contributions cost between 30 and 50 billion euros per year in the state! For comparison, the income tax and corporation tax reported just over 100 billion euros in state budget in 2008!

Finally, a more active policy in terms of jobs and more interested in maintaining the purchasing power would save additional financial inflows (1% salary increase equivalent to 700 million euros of extra revenue for cash only old age).

But Nicolas Sarkozy and his UMP presidential majority-New Center now prefer lower taxes on income and privilege (without saying) indirect taxes (local taxes, property taxes, TIPP, VAT, hospitality packages Medical and franchises of any kind, etc ...) that represents a whopping 83% of total tax revenue, making France one of the most unequal countries in Europe ...

What Does Anterior Fibroids Mean

So close and so far

The future, the unknown. Despite the unfortunate vicissitudes faced by the Laugh editions, the excitement is there. It is very close to see At Out of the Shadow forthcoming.

editions of Riez already offered me several times of emergency, how they I have announced that the novel was selected among others, and yesterday I had another, equally intense.

I stretched like a bow when I discovered in my mailbox this message Aurélien Police. I had to click to discover his work, with, back in my mind, the doubts about what I had told him of my text, I had my sketch seedy back in all directions, advice that a friend had given me author, but also the quiet certainty of my editor ...

Obviously I clicked, huh, and I discovered a scene that I cut the breath (or fucking awesome , as my dear husband). Happiness, full foot, I looked again and again, I revel in every detail throughout the evening *. There is a small thing to see. It goes to Aurelian worked wonderfully. [Unbearable suspense, I'm cruel, you have to wait.]

And then there was this revelation. You know, the split second when everything becomes clear. With this single image, I finally understood my desire to publication (yes, I put the time, good). I had already tried to understand: the glory, no, fortune, uh no no, the leg to nor posterity; desire to win the Goncourt, ah ben, this is no fantasy literature should not be forgotten. So?

Because casually, a publication to a few hundred copies, this is a drop in the ocean of novels bookstores drown each year. Similarly if we consider the micro-publisher who kills himself to task for his books, one wonders what drives so many sacrifices (because his job is not anecdotal, OK). So why a small issue it is so important, beyond proportions if it is confined to the return on investment?

Because we do not care the number of copies published, this is a book, a real book. We no longer speak of a manuscript or a text, we are talking about an object that has a magical character, the power to inspire third **.

You never know what we will discover in a book. The cover gives a clue, the fourth also, but what sauce will do we eat? We do not know. We hate some others have apparently loved it, we like them often but not beyond the stage of the walk cordial, and then from time to time, is the shock, they saw the story, we identify with the characters, we are unable to stand the book.

The author himself, when he writes, he is in a state of shock you see. No, I'm making a generalization. Rather say that when I write I'm in this state of shock. It is nice to have the technical, formulation, when I write, I'm pegged to my characters, I have them in the skin. I'm not just looking at them and pull their strings when they are hurt, I hurt, when they have an adrenaline rush, I too, whatever happens to them, I saw it with intensity.

People will indeed take my book. They love it or not, whatever, they will wander with my characters. Some even share particular resonance with my text and they will live an intense adventure.

(At least, if all goes well ***.)
(So I'm damned: I run after a chimera. Worse, I love it.:-D)



* C ' Is that why I have not written the last scene that I miss Siwès Chronicles impossible to detach myself from that image, to date the best illustration that I was done, and especially the most faithful to my wishes.
** Or nightmare, depending. ^ __ ^ No, At Out of the Shadow is the thrill. No worries. *** Go
fingers crossed and if you feel like shopping at once, we do not hesitate to take a ride on the site Laugh!

Want to read?



My friends, my dear readers, once will not hurt, I'll make a few calls to my editor (well, ok, whenever I can I place a word about him, so what?) Today it's different this time is serious enough for the subscriptions of the Out of the Shadow are offset. So we will suspend the countdown.

Yes, you're a bit worried, I'm much, believe me. The problem of small structures is that they argue a lot and they recover their implementation delayed. My publisher is committed to pay illustrators, writers and editors before proceeding with new releases (which is understandable and laudable). short sales he needs and he called on the net.

So if you had walked its catalog and found a nice book, it's the right time to return the order. Otherwise, if you had planned purchases of books in the coming weeks, it would be nice to take a look at his production.

I give you the link: http://www.editionsduriez.fr/

For my part, I read and loved the Wilderness Act of Franck Ferric, I ordered Another Christophe Nicolas (which has the looks really good), the collection Food for maggot got good reviews and was told the property of the vampire saga Virginia Schilli, and in the next antho subscription, there are lots of good writers (and Sire Cédric same!)

As for the future of At Out of the Shadow as soon as it moves, I make you sign.

Jcpenny Salon Price List

no hope for a referendum on the pension reform

.
During the last presidential election, the candidate Nicolas Sarkozy said without ambiguity: "the right to retire at age 60 should remain." Asked whether he would return to this law, he declared May 27, 2008 on RTL: "I said I will not. I did not mention during my presidential campaign. This is not a my commitment to the French. So I have no mandate for that. And it counts, you know, for me. "

Today, he refuses to withdraw the bill by saying that this is not the demonstrators to the streets to decide, as if the 39% vote by the UMP is the recent parliamentary elections represented a majority French. But it gives the people speak! In a democracy, only the popular vote that can defeat a vote of parliament did.

This would be the French if they want to say a decline in the age of retirement and especially an increase in the contribution period to 41.5 annuities for a retirement full rate.

For this, just as Nicolas Sarkozy submit its draft to a referendum after referendum the popular initiative, under the Constitution, has given rise to an application text ...


October 12, more than three and a half million of our fellow citizens were in the streets to say 'no' to pension reform promises to strike hard employees, and women first and workers. This reform, unfair and cynical has been no genuine negotiations with unions. It is imposed by one man, who at all costs, applies a command of the MEDEF, in defiance of popular mobilization, in defiance of national representation, deprived of any debate worthy of the name, and in defiance of his own campaign promise Do not touch the retirement age. Conversely, he wants to reverse a reform adopted by the people in favor of a leftward shift in 1981. Thus, without the slightest regard for the rules the most basic of democracy, that Nicolas Sarkozy wants to impose on our country an unprecedented social regression since the Liberation.

Faced with this denial of justice and democracy in the face of this political coup, and even though seven trade union confederations have said September 9 that "the vote of this project is no longer valid , the undersigned will vote in accordance with Article 11 of the Constitution for an immediate halt to the procedure of adoption of this bill and the calling of a referendum on it. They hear and force the president to open a debate that has continued to hinder and promote its citizens' ownership to a social choice informed and transparent. They call, in the same movement, the pursuit of popular mobilization, October 16 and after.

Itching After Gall Bladder Surgery

Hills

with joy (and emotion) that I saw this week the association will now be a legal project.

I think its wonderful name, and strong against our objectives:
- support and assistance to authors of French literature SFFF (science fiction, fantasy, fantasy);
- by extension the promotion of this literature;
- support and assistance to the collective CoCyclics.

This association will allow us to achieve what could not CoCyclics with a material point of view. Our first action will be the publication of our guide publishers, Grimoire Galactic Frogs , scheduled for Utopiales (palms are crossed) the next 10 to 14 November, the eve of the anniversary of CoCyclics.


Nearly four years. Did you know that in fairy tales, frogs become? Well, yes. Yesterday a new novel found a publisher, and others will follow soon with Hills, we'll do more tomorrow.


:-)


To read the official announcement on Tintamar (r) e

PS: So, I have a new site to go to Hills, and a moving website to organize.

PS2: Thanks to my secretary, treasurer Roanne and friend for his help.

Siwès Chronicles

I approach the end of the adventures of Baxian, whose destiny is accomplished with a lot of adventures (no, I do not like bullies dressage with rolled-balled jump triple toe loop. It's just a little short, not very long at most.)

I picture the characters as puppets of flesh, whose movements and feelings are the tricks that I stirred. Yes, it's a bit barbaric, but very fun. Some braced and shoot like cattle on the ropes, about character.

I always think to caractérisation.C is one of the most complex concepts to master in terms of writing, whether it should take into account or how it should be translated.

At Out of the Shadow

I am awaiting further instructions febrile but determined. I think the release, critics ahead. I'm preparing for disappointment possible, because no text can never please all readers of the genre. I always thought

At Out of the Shadow as a novel Action entertaining, where the suspense and thrill to spare the spotlight. Keep the reader in suspense. Follow different characters that come in contact with the shadow. Experience the intensity of the pursuit. Feel the grip of Gotham on the walls and on people. Do not skimp and go to the end.

Basically, I have the same readership as Stephen King. I necessarily good reviews. :-D

No respite for mischief

.
The IMF has indeed installed in Europe. Mandated by the European Union, he pursued the same policy he coolly distilled from the 1980s to developing countries with "structural adjustment plans " baptized in the North " plans rigor "or" austerity measures. "

And now it forces European countries to swallow his kitchen as a condition of neoliberal promised money and claims to judge the policies of the democratically ... elected


We remember the capitulations of George Papandreou, Greek Socialist Prime Minister, demands from the IMF: VAT increase of two points, increase the retirement age of women 5-year freeze on wages and pensions in the public service. Those measures designed to reduce the deficit and public debt were conditions to the payment of the loan from the IMF, with the European Union last June.

To ensure the implementation of the austerity plan, the IMF has since the beginning of the installed an office in Athens. His "expert" evaluate the policy of the Greek government: the payment of the loan is suspended for their validation. This summer, he asked to privatize the Greek Public Power Corporation (DEI), owned 51% by the state and strengthen expenditure control "of local authorities and hospitals."

This is bringing the deficit within 3% of GDP to "reassure the markets." The IMF is carrying so without any consideration of long-term and especially without taking into account the social situation of the country. The fate of the Greek population is thus between hands of a handful of people in defiance of democracy and popular sovereignty. Meanwhile, unemployment reached 15% in Greece, the recession is 4% in 2010 and estimated at 2.5% for 2011!

When the IMF practice blackmail and encourages rigor

Greece is a prime example but the logic is the same everywhere in Europe. In Romania for example the IMF requires the government to increase tariffs by 10% of public transport and reduce the number of teachers. This is in addition to the elimination of 30,000 positions in the civil service and reducing wages by 25%. VAT had been increased from 19% to 24%.

In May 2009 a loan of 2.9 billion euros was granted to Serbia if Belgrade reduce its public administration 10% and freeze wages in the public sector and pensions until April 2011 . These measures have plunged the country into a severe recession, the Serbian government wanted to increase pensions and wages and report longer-term deficit reduction. The IMF has opposed: the loan will be made only if the objective of reducing public deficits is reached on the date originally agreed.

Similarly in Bosnia, the IMF postponed the payment of the fourth tranche of the loan (granted in 2009) 38 million euros. It requires that the government adopt a law on salaries in institutions of power, preparing pension reform to reduce social spending and revises the allowances paid to war veterans of the 1990s.

In Spain, according to the IMF, "the English authorities have taken corrective action," insinuating necessary to reduce the deficit and not to further the public interest. The reforms of the banking system or labor law (less severance pay, more flexibility) are especially acclaimed. But "additional measures should be prepared." The government should "go further" even after the reform of the labor market, the IMF said, forever more "flexibility." In May, the IMF Managing Director Dominique Strauss-Kahn, had found the English labor market too "rigid" and called for reforms "urgent" to address them.

For France, An IMF report welcomed "the ambitious reform program" by Nicolas Sarkozy, including pension reform, and welcomes all measures to reduce state spending already announced for 2011. He applauded the increasing age of retirement, but calls on France to make "extra efforts" to save money. Inspectors IMF experts encourage "stronger limitation of spending on social security and health" and supervision "strict" of local government spending. Yet France has weathered the crisis better than its European neighbors because of its protection system social. Local authorities provide for their 71% of public investment spending. The measures advocated by the IMF would plunge into recession thus France and would have devastating social consequences.

When the IMF criticized the taxation of financial markets

The German parliament voted last July to ban short sales of shares in the financial markets. These transactions involve selling assets that one does not already own, but they will buy later speculating on falling markets to pocket a profit. The IMF has criticized the measure: "There is little evidence of the effectiveness of the ban on short selling." Instead he says, "the effectiveness and quality of markets have actually deteriorated considerably following the introduction of the various prohibitions. In essence, the IMF economists, one should allow the market regulation reduces the efficiency and quality of markets, it is responsible for the crisis.

The Hungarian parliament has voted him the introduction of a windfall tax on banks and insurance companies which should help raise nearly $ 700 million. The IMF has condemned the level of tax could slow growth and to troubled banks. He suspended the negotiations and the payment of the next loan tranche of 20 billion euros granted in October 2008. This decision is once again evidence of the ideological crusade led by the IMF. Indeed, elsewhere in Europe, are the measures recommended by the IMF as the VAT increase or reduction in public spending that reduce growth and threaten to plunge the country if not already in- recession.
