Reading: Finished Mark Del Franco's UNSHAPELY THINGS last night. It was a good first book--not outstanding, but definitely readable. The Boston setting is well done--in fact it reads a bit like Robert B. Parker does urban fantasy, and the protagonist is engaging. On the downside, there was a bit too much world building, setting up things that ultimately weren't used in this book. And the resolution felt rushed--requiring other characters to step in to explain things to the protagonist rather than him being instrumental in figuring out what was going on. Still I liked it enough to finish it, so if there's a sequel I'll give it a try.

Writing: Accomplished nothing this morning, after being derailed by two lengthy phone calls from family. Will try again this afternoon.
